Kajiki made its first landfall over [[Casiguran, Aurora]] at 09:50 [[Philippine Standard Time|PHT]] (01:50 UTC) as a weak tropical depression. It slightly weakened as it crossed [[Quirino]] through [[Ifugao]] before emerging into the South China Sea on August 23. Kajiki intensified over the South China Sea, reaching one-minute sustained winds of up to {{cvt|175|kph|round=5}}. Kajiki then skirted southern coast of Hainan, bringing strong winds and heavy rain to the island before making landfall between [[Nghệ An]] and [[Hà Tĩnh]] at around 18:00 [[UTC+07:00|ICT]] (11:00 UTC) on August 25. Moving westward through inland areas, the remnants of Kajiki later brought heavy rains and winds over Thailand and Myanmar before it eventually dissipated on the following day.
