Tropical Storm Matmo(Dindo)-2008

A tropical disturbance formed to the east of the Philippines on May 13. Later that day, the JTWC issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert on the developing system and then designated it as Tropical Depression 04W the next day.

Midday May 15, the JMA designated the system as Tropical Storm Matmo. The name was submitted by the United States and means "heavy rain" in the Chamorro language.[42][22] PAGASA named the cyclone "Dindo" a few hours later. The JTWC upgraded the system to a tropical storm as the day drew to a close. However, the system then weakened as it moved north away from the Philippines; PAGASA and the JTWC issued their last advisories on May 16, and the JMA first thing May 17.
