On February 16, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) reported that a tropical depression had developed over the Philippine Sea.[1] Just two hours later, the JTWC issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) on the system, while it was located roughly 15 miles (25 km) to the east of Babeldaob, Palau. The depression displayed convective banding features, wrapping into a disorganized low-level center of circulation. Within an area favorable for further development, with low to moderate vertical wind shear, strong poleward outflow, and 29-30°C (84–86°F) sea surface temperatures, the system began to intensify.[2] By 3:00 UTC on February 17, the depression had entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), and was given the name Auring by the PAGASA. This made Dujuan the first named storm within the PAR in 2021.[3] Six hours later, the JTWC released its first warning on the tropical depression, giving it the designation 01W.[4] As the system tracked to the west-northwest, it continued to strengthen until it was upgraded into a tropical storm by the JTWC and by the PAGASA in the early hours of February 18.[5][6] At 7:00 UTC that same day, the JMA followed suit with the JTWC and PAGASA and upgraded the system into a tropical storm and named the system Dujuan.[7]

At 03:00 UTC on February 19, the PAGASA upgraded Dujuan into a severe tropical storm, however this period was short-lived as the agency downgraded back into a tropical storm 6 hours later.[8][9] The next day, as the storm began tracking northwestward yet again, vertical wind shear in Dujuan's environment had decreased allowing the storm to restrengthen, with the JTWC redeclaring the system as a tropical storm.[10] By February 22, the JMA, the JTWC, and the PAGASA had downgraded the system to a tropical depression after the system's low-level circulation center (LLCC) had weakened prior to landfall.[11][12][13] The JMA and the JTWC issued their final advisories moments after.[11][14] The storm made landfall over Batag Island in Laoang, Northern Samar at 09:00 PHT (01:00 UTC) on February 22.[15] Prior to crossing the Rapu-Rapu Islands in Albay, the PAGASA declared the storm as a low-pressure area and issued their final bulletin on the storm.[16] The storm dissipated into a low-pressure area on February 22.[17]

Preparations and impact

The depression moved over Palau on February 16, bringing heavy rainfall to parts of the country.[18][19]

In anticipation of the storm, the PAGASA raised Signal #1 warnings for the eastern section of Mindanao on February 19, with the same warnings raised on the eastern provinces of Visayas.[20][21][22] Signal 2 warnings were also issued in the majority of Eastern Samar, Samar, Southern Leyte, Dinagat Islands, and Surigao del Norte on February 21 as Dujuan re-intensified hours before landfall.[23] The warnings were quickly lowered, however, just a few hours after being issued.[24] Despite the lowered warnings, the storm was able to cause flooding in parts of Visayas. Before the storm's landfall, in Tandag City, Surigao del Sur, heavy rains had already caused houses to be submerged in floodwater.[25][26] Classes and government work was suspended on February 22 in Romblon, Tacloban City, and Negros Oriental and in parts of Leyte, Cebu, and Surigao del Sur.[27][28]

A total of 53,236 individuals were affected in Northern Mindanao, Caraga, and in the Davao Region. 49,236 of the affected individuals were taken to 37 various evacuation shelters in each region. In Surigao del Norte and Surigao del Sur, 175 houses were partially damaged, with an additional 4 being totally damaged. 40 domestic flights and multiple sea trips were also cancelled due to the harsh weather, with 2,931 passengers being left stranded in ports in Central and Eastern Visayas.[28]
