Super Typhoon
Since 1947, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) has classified all typhoons in the Tropical cyclone basins#Northwestern Pacific Ocean, Northwestern Pacific Ocean with wind speeds of at least —the equivalent of a strong Category 4 on the Saffir–Simpson scale, as ''super typhoons''. Since that year, 316 super typhoons have occurred in the basin, the latest being Typhoon Man-yi (2024), Typhoon Man-yi in 2024 Pacific typhoon season, 2024. Only two List of Pacific typhoon seasons, Pacific typhoon seasons have not included at least one super typhoon, which were the 1949 Pacific typhoon season, 1949 and the 1974 Pacific typhoon season, 1974 seasons. The most typhoons to have reached this intensity in a single season is tied between 1965 Pacific typhoon season, 1965 and 1997 Pacific typhoon season, 1997, with 11 becoming super typhoons. Background All typhoons that reach an intensity of at least are referred to by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center as ''super typhoons.'' The ...

Coordinated Universal Time
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the primary time standard globally used to regulate clocks and time. It establishes a reference for the current time, forming the basis for civil time and time zones. UTC facilitates international communication, navigation, scientific research, and commerce. UTC has been widely embraced by most countries and is the effective successor to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) in everyday usage and common applications. In specialised domains such as scientific research, navigation, and timekeeping, other standards such as Universal Time, UT1 and International Atomic Time (TAI) are also used alongside UTC. UTC is based on TAI (International Atomic Time, abbreviated from its French name, ''temps atomique international''), which is a weighted average of hundreds of atomic clocks worldwide. UTC is within about one second of mean solar time at 0° longitude, the currently used prime meridian, and is not adjusted for daylight saving time. The coordination of t ...

1948 Pacific Typhoon Season
The 1948 Pacific typhoon season was an average season. It had no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1948, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between June and December. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, north of the equator and west of the International Date Line. Storms that form east of the date line and north of the equator are called hurricanes; see 1948 Pacific hurricane season. At the time, tropical storms that formed within this region of the western Pacific were identified and named by the United States Armed Services, and these names are taken from the list that USAS publicly adopted before the 1945 season started. __TOC__ Season summary ImageSize = width:950 height:200 PlotArea = top:10 bottom:80 right:25 left:20 Legend = columns:3 left:30 top:58 columnwidth:270 AlignBars ...

2013 Pacific Typhoon Season
The 2013 Pacific typhoon season was a devastating and catastrophic season that was the most active since 2004, and the deadliest since 1991. It featured Typhoon Haiyan, one of the most powerful storms in history, as well as one of the strongest to make landfall on record. It featured 31 named storms, 13 typhoons, and five super typhoons. The season's first named storm, Sonamu, developed on January 4 while the season's last named storm, Podul, dissipated on November 15. The season ran throughout 2013, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between June and November. Collectively, the storms caused 6,829 fatalities, while total damage amounted to at least $26.41 billion ( USD), making it, at the time, the costliest Pacific typhoon season on record, until it was surpassed five years later. As of 2024, it is currently ranked as the fifth-costliest typhoon season. In mid-July, Typhoon Soulik in July was the strongest tropical cyclone to affect Taiwan in 2013. In mid- ...

Typhoon Haiyan
Typhoon Haiyan, known in the Philippines as Super Typhoon Yolanda, was an extremely powerful and catastrophic tropical cyclone that is among List of the most intense tropical cyclones, the most powerful tropical cyclones ever recorded. Upon making landfall, Haiyan devastated portions of Southeast Asia, particularly the Philippines during early November 2013. It is one of Typhoons in the Philippines, the deadliest typhoons on record in the Philippines, killing at least 6,300 people in the region of Visayas alone. In terms of JTWC-estimated 1-minute sustained winds, Haiyan is tied with Typhoon Meranti, Meranti in 2016 Pacific typhoon season, 2016 for being the second strongest landfall (meteorology), landfalling tropical cyclone on record, only behind Typhoon Goni, Goni of 2020 Pacific typhoon season, 2020. It was also the most intense tropical cyclone Tropical cyclones in 2013, worldwide in 2013. The 30th named storm, thirteenth typhoon, and fifth super typhoon of the 2013 Pa ...

1972 Pacific Typhoon Season
The 1972 Pacific typhoon season was an extremely active season, producing 31 tropical storms, 24 typhoons and 2 intense typhoons. It has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1972, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between June and December. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, north of the equator and west of the International Date Line. Storms that form east of the date line and north of the equator are called hurricanes; see 1972 Pacific hurricane season. Tropical Storms formed in the entire west Pacific basin were assigned a name by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Tropical depressions in this basin have the "W" suffix added to their number.

Typhoon Rita (1972)
Typhoon Rita, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Gloring, was one of the longest-lived Pacific typhoon, Western Pacific tropical cyclones on record. Rita traversed the basin along an erratic path for 22 days. The second of four simultaneously developing storms, Rita was first identified to the southeast of Guam on July 5, 1972. Meteorological history In early July 1972, conditions across the western Pacific were highly favorable for tropical cyclogenesis. Enhanced by an El Niño event, surface westerlies traversed the region south of an east–west near-equatorial trough (meteorology), trough that extended from east of the Philippines to well east of the Marshall Islands. On July 3, conditions in the upper troposphere over the basin underwent significant changes with two cold-core low, upper-level troughs developing in the midlatitudes; of note was one which moved southward from Japan. By July 5, four distinct disturbances had organized along the near-equato ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
2023 Pacific Typhoon Season
The 2023 Pacific typhoon season was the fourth and final consecutive below-average season and became the third-most inactive typhoon season on record in terms of named storms, with just 17 named storms developing, only ahead of 2010 Pacific typhoon season, 2010 and 1998 Pacific typhoon season, 1998, however it had a slightly above average in terms of Accumulated Cyclone Energy, ACE. Despite the season occurring during an El Niño event, which typically favors activity in the basin, activity was abnormally low. This was primarily due to a consistent period of negative Pacific decadal oscillation, PDO, which typically discourages tropical storm formation in this basin. The season was less active than the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season in terms of named storms, the fourth such season on record, after 2005 Pacific typhoon season, 2005, 2010 Pacific typhoon season, 2010 and 2020 Pacific typhoon season, 2020. The season's number of storms also did not exceed that of the 2023 Pacific hur ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Typhoon Doksuri
Typhoon Doksuri, known in the Philippines as Super Typhoon Egay, was a powerful and highly destructive tropical cyclone which became the costliest typhoon to hit China, the costliest tropical cyclone outside of the Atlantic hurricane, North Atlantic, and the costliest typhoon on record, breaking the previous record of Typhoon Mireille in 1991. Doksuri was also the strongest typhoon to impact Fujian since Typhoon Meranti in 2016, and the most powerful typhoon to strike the province since records began in 1950. Aside from China, Doksuri also caused extensive damage in the Philippines, Taiwan, and Vietnam, in late July 2023. The name ''Doksuri'' means ''eagle'' in Korean. The fifth named storm and third typhoon of the inactive 2023 Pacific typhoon season, Doksuri started as a low-pressure area in the Philippines, far off the eastern coast of Mindanao. Tracking northwestward, it rapidly intensified into a typhoon over the Philippines prior to making landfall over the Babuyan Island ...

Typhoon Tip
Typhoon Tip, known in the Philippines as Super Typhoon Warling, was the largest and most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded. The forty-third tropical depression, nineteenth tropical storm, twelfth typhoon, and third super typhoon of the 1979 Pacific typhoon season, Tip developed out of a disturbance within the monsoon trough on October 4 near Pohnpei in Micronesia. Initially, Tropical Storm Roger to the northwest hindered the development and motion of Tip, though after the storm tracked farther north, Tip was able to intensify. After passing Guam, Tip rapidly intensified and reached peak sustained winds of All wind speeds in the article are maximum sustained winds sustained for one minute, unless otherwise noted. and a worldwide record-low sea-level pressure of on October 12. At its peak intensity, Tip was the largest tropical cyclone on record, with a wind diameter of . Tip slowly weakened as it continued west-northwestward and later turned to the northeast, ...
