Name Meanings of Aere and Chaba

The Hong Kong Met site has a good glossary and pronunciation guide for West Pacific Storms.

Chaba is the Thai word for "shoeflower" of the hibiscus family

Aera (a-EE-ray) is the Marshallese word for "storm"

Ah, thanks. Aera makes sense, but Chaba... shoe flower? I wouldn't leave if a storm named shoe flower was bearing down on me :roll:
