Typhoon Nari (pronounced [na.ɾi]), known in the Philippines as Typhoon Santi, was a strong and deadly tropical cyclone that first struck Luzon before striking Vietnam. The storm was the 41st depression and the 8th typhoon in the 2013 typhoon season. Typhoon Nari was a deadly typhoon that made landfall in the Philippines and Vietnam. Nari made landfall on October 14, 2013 as a moderate category 1 typhoon.

On October 8, 2013 the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) started to monitor a tropical depression, that developed within an area of low to moderate vertical windshear, about 1,150 km (715 mi) to the southwest of Manila on the Philippine island of Luzon. The system was subsequently named Santi by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) as it moved along the southern edge of a subtropical ridge of high pressure.

Later that day the United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) initiated advisories on the system and designated it as Tropical Depression 24W after the systems low level circulation center had started to consolidate.

During the next day after central convection over the systems low level circulation centre had increased both the JMA and the JTWC reported that the depression had developed into a tropical storm, with the latter naming it as Nari.

During October 9, PAGASA issued the public storm warning signal number 1 for the island province of Catanduanes, before expanding the areas under Signal 1 early the next day to include Aurora, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Isabela, the Polilio Islands and Quezon. Later that day after the system had intensified into a typhoon and accelerated slightly towards the Philippines slightly, PAGASA placed 17 areas in Luzon under Signal 1, 14 areas under Signal 2 and Aurora Province under Signal 3. During October 11, the areas under signal 3 were expanded to include Benguet, Ifugao, Ilocos Sur, Isabela, La Union, Pangasinan, Polilio Island, Quirino, Nueva Ecija and Tarlac. Over the next day, the warnings were gradually revised before they were all subsequently cancelled during October 12, as the system moved out of the Philippine Area of Responsibility and was moving towards Vietnam.
