Typhoon Jebi, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Maymay, was the costliest typhoon in Japan's history in terms of insured losses. Jebi formed from a tropical disturbance south-southwest of Wake Island on August 26 and became the twenty-first named storm of the 2018 Pacific typhoon season on August 27.
The name Jebi has been used to name five tropical cyclones in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. On the first two occasions, before the spelling was corrected by the WMO Typhoon Committee, the variant Chebi was used. The name was submitted by South Korea and is a Korean word for the barn swallow (Hirundo rustica).

However, Jebi redeveloped back into a tropical storm after. The storm continued to organize until it further intensified into a Category-1 typhoon by the JTWC, while JMA only reached the intensity of a severe tropical storm. Jebi later transitioned to an extratropical cyclone, causing both agencies to issue their final warning on October 2.
