Nanmadol originally formed as a weak circulation on August 5, 2017, then intensified into a depression in just 48 hours, and while moving westward, it intensified into a tropical storm, and after attaining the name "Nanmadol", Nanmadol began rapid deepening and rapidly intensified into a super typhoon in 42 hours. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) put the storm's maximum winds to 340 km/h (211 mph), while the JTWC estimated it's winds at 400 km/h (248 mph). The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAG-ASA) initially decided to name Nanmadol as "Kiko", but due to political reasons, it was named "Kyla" instead. Nanmadol made landfall in Luzon on August 18, 2017 at peak intensity. Nanmadol had been remaining stationary for 24 hours during it's landfall. On 1234 UTC: Nanmadol made landfall over Quezon province at peak intensity, which made it the strongest storm ever to make landfall. It later made it's second landfall in Metro Manila.
