List of tropical storms named Rumbia

The name Rumbia has been used to name four tropical cyclones in the western north Pacific Ocean. The name was submitted by Malaysia and refers to the Sago Palm.

Due to the extensive damage and high death toll in South China caused by the 2018 storm, the name Rumbia was retired by the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee in February 2019. It was replaced with Pulasan for future seasons.
