Tropical Storm Haikui, known in the Philippines as Tropical Storm Salome, was a weak tropical cyclone that affected the Philippine archipelagos of Luzon and Visayas in early-November 2017. Forming as the twenty-fourth named storm of the 2017 typhoon season, Haikui developed as a tropical depression to the east of Samar on November 9. Traversing some Philippine islands, the system gradually intensified into a named tropical storm by November 10. In that same day, Haikui emerged to the South China Sea. By November 12, the Japan Meteorological History downgraded the storm into a tropical depression. The storm dissipated on November 13, while meteorologists from the USA recorded the storm until November 14.
In preparation for the storm, Tropical Cyclone Signals were raised in 15 provinces in the Philippines. The storm created heavy rainfall in Luzon, suspending classes in the archipelago. The storm also affected China, with floods and heavy rainfall in some parts of China. In total, the storm caused 4.26 million US dollars in damage.
