Tropical Storm Mekkhala

The name Mekkhala (Thai: เมขลา, pronounced [mêːk.kʰā.lǎː]) has been used for four tropical cyclones in the western north Pacific Ocean. The name was contributed by Thailand and refers to Mekhala, a guardian-angel of the seas in South Asian myths. This name was spelt Megkhla by the WMO prior to an orthographic update made in 2002.
