On December 26 the storm developed into a tropical depression about 230\u00a0km (145\u00a0mi) east of Singapore in the South China Sea at 1.4\u00b0\u00a0N, 156\u00a0km (97\u00a0mi) north of the equator. This was the first recorded occurrence of a tropical cyclone developing near the equator, which had previously been considered impossible because of a lack of Coriolis effect there. It strengthened quickly and made landfall the next day approximately 60\u00a0km (35\u00a0mi) northeast of Singapore, along extreme southeastern Peninsular Malaysia. The storm rapidly dissipated over Sumatra a day later, and the remnants eventually re-organized in the North Indian Ocean. Though officially designated as a tropical storm, the intensity of Vamei is disputed; some agencies classify it as a typhoon, based on sustained winds of 140\u00a0km\/h (85\u00a0mph) and the appearance of an eye. The storm brought flooding and landslides to eastern Peninsular Malaysia, causing US$3.6\u00a0million in damage and five deaths.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Wikipedia article of the day for December 26, 2016 is Tropical Storm Vamei.
