[18] This change was implemented ahead of the 1993–94 tropical cyclone season. typhoon wind speed for a structure within a given design life thus becomes an imperative task. summary of the typhoon wind speeds is shown in Ta-ble 2. [6] The Oxford English Dictionary[7] cites Hindustani ṭūfān and Chinese tai fung giving rise to several early forms in English. [16] On average, twice per year twin tropical cyclones will form in the western Pacific Ocean, near the 5th parallel north and the 5th parallel south, along the same meridian, or line of longitude. The Philippines receive the brunt of the landfalls, with China and Japan being less often impacted. Also, it will be assigned a tropical cyclone number (or TC number for short) comprising an officially spelled-out number (from ONE to THIRTY or less; these numbers are not recycled until next year) followed by (except for North Atlantic systems) a hyphen and a suffix letter ("-E" for East Pacific, "-C" for Central Pacific);[2] a two-digit (plus any suffix) abbreviation (like TD 08 for North Atlantic depression EIGHT, TD 21E for East Pacific depression TWENTYONE-E, or TD 03C for Central Pacific depression THREE-C) is also generated for bulletin and other automated purposes. Like other basins, they are steered by the subtropical ridge towards the west or northwest, with some systems recurving near and east of Japan. [14] However, a change was made during 1988 to introduce the category "severe cyclonic storm with core of hurricane winds" for tropical cyclones, with wind speeds of more than 64 kn (74 mph; 119 km/h). Also, authorities mobilized several thousand military personnel and police to help residents evacuate from the typhoon's path. The India Meteorological Department's scale uses 7 different classifications for systems within the North Indian Ocean, and are based on the systems estimated 3-minute maximum sustained winds. PAGASA raised public storm signal no. Rainband feature tracking for wind speeds around typhoon eyes using multiple sensors. [17] A severe tropical storm is designated as a tropical cyclone when it reaches wind speeds of 64 knots (118 km/h, 74 mph). Category 1 refers to a storm (Typhoon/Hurricane/Cyclone) with sustained wind speeds of NHC, CPHC and JTWC use 1-minute sustained winds, the IMD uses 3-minute sustained winds (not shown below) while all other warning centers use 10-minute sustained winds. Alternatively, the No. Vertical wind shear of less than 10 m/s (20 kn, 33 ft/s) between the ocean surface and the tropopause is required for tropical cyclone development. A parabolic recurving track. 5 shows the wind speed and direction of typhoon No. [6] The HKO and the CMA also divide the typhoon category into three categories, with both assigning a maximum wind speed of 80 kn (41 m/s; 92 mph; 150 km/h) to the typhoon category. A rare few storms, like Hurricane John, were redesignated as typhoons as they originated in the Eastern/Central Pacific and moved into the western Pacific. [38] The most intense storm based on minimum pressure was Typhoon Tip in the northwestern Pacific Ocean in 1979, which reached a minimum pressure of 870 hectopascals (26 inHg) and maximum sustained wind speeds of 165 knots (85 m/s, 190 mph, 310 km/h). [26] When the subtropical ridge shifts due to El Niño, so will the preferred tropical cyclone tracks. [17], At the tenth RA I tropical cyclone committee held during 1991, it was recommended that the intensity classifications be changed ahead of the 1993–94 tropical cyclone season. [2] These warnings use a 1-minute sustained wind speed and can be compared to the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale; however, the JTWC uses their own scale for intensity classifications in this basin. Monday morning, Surigae's maximum wind speed … [19] The Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale was introduced by the BoM, ahead of the 1989–90 cyclone season. (AP Photo) As the typhoon approached Okinawa on Sunday, the Japan Meteorological Agency said wind speeds near the center of the typhoon were about 180 kilometers per hour (112 miles per hour), with gusts reaching 252 kph (155 mph), possibly equaling or surpassing … It is moving Northeast at 45 km/h. [15] Even with perfect upper-level conditions and the required atmospheric instability, the lack of a surface focus will prevent the development of organized convection and a surface low. Taiwan has received the wettest known typhoon on record for the northwest Pacific tropical cyclone basins. The submitted names are arranged into a list, the names on the list will be used from up to down, from left to right. [13], There are six main requirements for tropical cyclogenesis: sufficiently warm sea surface temperatures, atmospheric instability, high humidity in the lower to middle levels of the troposphere, enough Coriolis force to develop a low pressure center, a pre-existing low level focus or disturbance, and low vertical wind shear. [6] Should the system continue to intensify further then it will be classified as a severe tropical storm, which has winds speeds between 48–63 kn (25–32 m/s; 55–72 mph; 89–117 km/h). [7][9], A tropical depression is the lowest category that the Japan Meteorological Agency uses and is the term used for a tropical system that has wind speeds not exceeding 33 knots (38 mph; 61 km/h). It is surrounded by the eyewall, a ring of towering thunderstorms where the most severe weather and highest winds occur. The term typhoon is the regional name in the northwest Pacific for a severe (or mature) tropical cyclone, whereas hurricane is the regional term in the northeast Pacific and northern Atlantic. Typhoon Violet (1961) Basin: West Pacific. 9 signal generally implies that the wind speed has already reached storm force (88 to 117 kilometres per hour) and has a chance of increasing to hurricane force in a short period of time. Tropical cyclones form in any month of the year across the northwest Pacific Ocean, and concentrate around June and November in the northern Indian Ocean. [35] There was only one tropical cyclone that moved through the Philippines in 1958. [23] The genesis and intensity of typhoons are also modulated by slow variation of the sea surface temperature and circulation features following a near-10-year frequency. Should the tropical system further intensify and have winds estimated or measured, as greater than 64 kn (74 mph; 119 km/h), then it will be called a hurricane and classified on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale. [13] The lowest official classification used in the North Indian Ocean is a Depression, which has 3-minute sustained wind speeds of between 17 and 27 kn (20–31 mph; 31–49 km/h). Tropical cyclones are defined as being warm cored, non-frontal synoptic cyclones, that develop over tropical or subtropical waters, with organized atmospheric convection and have a definite cyclonic surface wind circulation. It developed into a super typhoon on 11 September and moved westward quickly. Although increasing echelons of the scale correspond to stronger winds, the rankings are not absolute in terms of effects. [33] Storms that cross the date line from the central Pacific retain their original name, but the designation of hurricane becomes typhoon. Although Dongtai is not a typhoon landing site in general, it still has to face the threat of typhoon. They are classified by the wind speeds located around the circulation centre and are ranked, by the World Meteorological Organization's Regional Specialized Meteorological Centers on one of five tropical cyclone scales. The Hindustani source word ṭūfān ("violent storm"; Perso-Arabic: طوفان‎, Devanagari: तूफ़ान)[8] comes from the Persian tūfān (توفان/طوفان) meaning "storm" which comes from the verb tūfīdan (توفیدن/طوفیدن), "to roar, to blow furiously". [11] The United States' Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) unofficially classifies typhoons with wind speeds of at least 130 knots (67 m/s; 150 mph; 241 km/h)—the equivalent of a strong Category 4 storm in the Saffir-Simpson scale—as super typhoons. [16] Should a tropical cyclone intensify further and reach wind speeds of 90 knots (166 km/h, 103 mph), it will be classified as an intense tropical cyclone. However, some of the deadliest typhoons in history have struck China. Made landfall in the Philippines with 190 mph winds, then in China with 100 mph winds, killing 47 people. Fig. The rainfall in Pingtung County reached 2,327 millimeters (91.6 in),[41] breaking all rainfall records of any single place in Taiwan induced by a single typhoon,[42] and making the cyclone the wettest known typhoon. The wind speed was recorded by multiple sonic and vane anemometers near the seashore of an island. [40] After Typhoon Morakot landed in Taiwan at midnight on August 8, 2009, almost the entire southern region of Taiwan (Chiayi County/Chiayi City, Tainan County/Tainan City (now merged as Tainan), Kaohsiung County/Kaohsiung City (now merged as Kaohsiung), and Pingtung County) and parts of Taitung County and Nantou County were flooded by record-breaking heavy rain. [25] Points are awarded on a sliding scale, with the majority of points reserved for hurricane force and greater wind fields.[25]. The first super typhoon of the season in the West Pacific made a close approach to the Eastern Philippines this weekend. (2016). [19] Within the region a tropical cyclone is defined as being a non-frontal low pressure system of synoptic scale that develops over warm waters, with a definite organized wind circulation and 10-minute sustained wind speeds of 34 kn (63 km/h; 39 mph) or greater near the centre. After the eye, the mean wind directions changed from 20° to 80° gradually. [1] The region also defines a subtropical cyclone as a non-frontal low pressure disturbance, that has the characteristics of both tropical and extratropical cyclones. The French typhon is attested with the meaning of whirlwind or storm since 1504. T able 2. Should a system intensify further and become a hurricane, then it will be classified on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale, and is based on the estimated maximum sustained winds over a 1-minute period. [3] A Category 4 hurricane has winds of 113–136 kn (130–156 mph, 209–251 km/h), while a Category 5 hurricane has winds of at least 137 kn (157 mph, 252 km/h). Nearly one-third of the world's tropical cyclones form within the western Pacific. ", "Frequently Asked Questions Subject: A1) What is a hurricane, typhoon, or tropical cyclone? If the maximum sustained wind speed lies in the range 28 knots (52km/hr) to 33 knots (61km/hr), it is a “deep depression”. The term typhoon is the regional name in the northwest Pacific for a severe (or mature) tropical cyclone,[3] whereas hurricane is the regional term in the northeast Pacific and northern Atlantic. This makes this basin the most active on Earth. Hence, the signal is not issued for severe tropical storms, but may be maintained after a typhoon weakens into a severe tropical storm. Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storms have hurricane-force winds of 90–119 kn (166–221 km/h, 104–137 mph). [24], The Hurricane Severity Index (HSI) is another scale used and rates the severity of all types of tropical and subtropical cyclones based on both the intensity and the size of their wind fields. When all names on the list are used, it will start again from the left-top corner. The first character is normally used to mean "pedestal" or "stand", but is actually a simplification of the older Chinese character 颱, which means "typhoon"; thus the word originally meant "typhoon wind". [14] Typically with Pacific typhoons, there are two outflow jets: one to the north ahead of an upper trough in the Westerlies, and a second towards the equator. There are no warnings at the current time. These warnings use a 1-minute sustained wind speed and can be compared to the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale, however, regardless of intensity in these basins the JTWC labels all systems as tropical cyclones with TC numbers (plus any names or placeholders parenthesized, as for typhoons and Indian Ocean cyclones above). The maximum instantaneous wind speed of Typhoon 9 is expected to reach 70 meters near the center, and the maximum instantaneous wind speed of the Okinawa Main Island and Miyakojima regions on the 1st of next month is expected to be 40 to 60 meters. [1] The lowest classification on the SSHWS is a Category 1 hurricane, which has winds of between 64 and 82 kn (74–95 mph, 119–153 km/h). A general westward path affects the. This paper studied the gust factor associated with a very strong typhoon (Typhoon Maemi 2003), whose maximum 10 min mean wind speed was greater than 60 m/s. Tropical cyclones are ranked on one of five tropical cyclone intensity scales, according to their maximum sustained winds and which tropical cyclone basin(s) they are located in. [11] A typhoon has wind speed of 64–79 knots (73–91 mph; 118–149 km/h), a severe typhoon has winds of at least 80 knots (92 mph; 150 km/h), and a super typhoon has winds of at least 100 knots (120 mph; 190 km/h). Anything between 89-118km/hr is tagged as a Severe Cyclonic Storm, while 119-221km/hr would make it a Very Severe Cyclonic Storm. [...] The Chinese applied the [Greek] concept to a rather different wind [...]", CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (. These warnings use a 1-minute sustained wind speed and can be compared to the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale, however, regardless of intensity in this basin the JTWC labels all systems as tropical cyclones with TC numbers (optionally appended with international names or placeholders in parentheses, as done for typhoons above).[10]. International Journal of Remote Sensing: Vol. [19] A tropical disturbance is defined as being a non-frontal system of synoptic scale originating over the tropics, with persistent enhanced convection and/or some indication of a circulation. As a result, the JTWC's wind reports are higher than JMA's measurements, as the latter is based on a 10-minute averaging interval. Should the system intensify further or already have one-minute sustained winds of 34–63 kn (39–73 mph; 63–118 km/h), then it will be called either a tropical or subtropical storm and assigned a name[1] (which replaces the spelled-out TC number; the two-digit number is still kept for purposes like the Automated Tropical Cyclone Forecasting System, as in 2018's TS 12 (KIRK)). These warnings use a 1-minute sustained wind speed and can be compared to the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale, however, regardless of intensity in this basin the JTWC labels all systems as tropical cyclones with TC numbers (plus any parenthesized names or placeholders, like typhoons and North Indian Ocean cyclones above). [13] The system will be classified as a cyclonic storm and assigned a name by the IMD, if it should develop gale-force wind speeds of between 34 and 47 kn (39–54 mph; 62–88 km/h). [10] These classifications are Tropical Depression, Tropical Storm, Typhoon, and Super Typhoon. No matter how strong a subtropical system is in this basin, it is always designated as a subtropical depression. [16] Within the region a tropical disturbance is defined to be a non-frontal synoptic scale low pressure area, originating over tropical or sub-tropical waters with organized convection and definite cyclonic surface wind circulation with the average wind speed estimated to be not exceeding 27 knots (50 km/h)). During El Niño years, the break in the subtropical ridge tends to lie near 130°E, which would favor the Japanese archipelago. While the RSMC names each system, the main name list itself is coordinated among 18 countries that have territories threatened by typhoons each year.[2]. [6][7] In May 2015, PAGASA introduced the term Super Typhoon and used it for systems with winds greater than 120 kn (62 m/s; 140 mph; 220 km/h). About 85 to 90 percent of Pacific typhoons form within the monsoon trough. Name Washi Damrey Chanchu Prapiroon. [27] Those that form near the Marshall Islands find their way to Jeju Island, Korea. [13], Historically, a system has been classified as a depression if it is an area where the barometric pressure is low compared with its surroundings. Should a tropical depression reach wind speeds of 35 knots (65 km/h, 40 mph) then it will be classified as a moderate tropical storm and assigned a name by either the Sub Regional Center in Mauritius or Madagascar. There is a discrepancy between the maximum wind speeds of cyclone Amphan measured by the United States Joint Typhoon Center (USJTC) and the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The maximum mean wind speed before the coming of typhoon eye reached 15.4 m/s, with the wind direction about 21°. [19] The FMS numbers these systems when they have a potential to develop into a tropical cyclone or persist to cause significant impact to life and property, within its area of responsibility and have been analysed for the previous 24 hours. Subject: A15) How do tropical cyclones form ? [6] The highest classification on the Typhoon Committee's scale is a typhoon, which has winds speeds greater than 64 kn (33 m/s; 74 mph; 119 km/h). The modern Japanese word, 台風 (たいふう, taifuu); as well as the modern Korean word 태풍 (taepung) are also derived from Chinese. [14] During 2015 another modification to the intensity scale took place, with the IMD calling a system with 3-minute maximum sustained wind speeds between 90 and 119 kn (166–221 km/h, 104–137 mph): an extremely severe cyclonic storm. In picture: High waves pound seawall in Yonabarucho, Okinawa Prefecture, southern Japan on Sunday afternoon, August 26, 2012. Across the Philippines themselves, activity reaches a minimum in February, before increasing steadily through June, and spiking from July through October, with September being the most active month for tropical cyclones across the archipelago. The lowest classification used by the Typhoon Committee is a tropical depression, which has 10-minute sustained … In fact, tropical systems of less than hurricane strength can produce significant damage and human casualties, especially from flooding and landslides. [19][20] A Category 1 tropical cyclone is estimated to have 10-minute sustained wind speeds of 34–47 kn (39–54 mph; 63–87 km/h), while a Category 2 tropical cyclone is estimated to have 10-minute sustained wind speeds of 48–63 kn (55–72 mph; 89–117 km/h). ", "What is the difference between a hurricane, a cyclone, and a typhoon? TD 20W, became tropical storm Bebinca, but was referred to as TS 20W (BEBINCA) in JTWC advisories); however, in cases when the JTWC upgrades a depression to tropical storm without the JMA following suit (due to the differences between JTWC and JMA wind-speed scales), the spelled-out number (without the suffix) is parenthesized and appended to the TC number as placeholder name, as in TS 16W (SIXTEEN), until JMA upgrades and names it, on which case the name replaces the placeholder. Wind speeds and directions of macroscopic models do not include random fluctuations that exist in full-scale observation, while these values for the macro models show good agreement in the sense of longer time scales. [16], A system is designated as a tropical depression or a subtropical depression when it reaches wind speeds above 28 knots (50 km/h, 32 mph). [11] Also, when a tropical depression is upgraded to tropical storm and named by the JMA, the JTWC appends the international name (parenthesized) to its TC number[2] (i.e., 2018 tropical depression TWENTY-W, abbr. [10] A tropical depression is upgraded to a tropical storm should its sustained wind speeds exceed 34 knots (39 mph; 63 km/h). [27] During La Niña years, the formation of tropical cyclones, and the subtropical ridge position, shift westward across the western Pacific Ocean, which increases the landfall threat to China and greater intensity to Philippines. Normally, an ocean temperature of 26.5 °C (79.7 °F) spanning through a depth of at least 50 metres (160 ft) is considered the minimum to maintain the special mesocyclone that is the tropical cyclone. The definition of a super typhoon is that the sustained wind speed near the center of the tropical cyclone reaches 51 m/s. [19] A tropical depression or tropical low is a disturbance with a defined circulation, where the central position can be estimated, and the maximum 10-minute average wind speed is less than 34 kn (39 mph; 63 km/h) near the centre. Within all basins tropical cyclones are named when the sustained winds reach at least 35 kn (40 mph; 65 km/h). [22] A ten-year average of satellite determined precipitation showed that at least 30 percent of the annual rainfall in the northern Philippines could be traced to tropical cyclones, while the southern islands receive less than 10 percent of their annual rainfall from tropical cyclones. Typhoon (TY) – a tropical cyclone with maximum wind speed of 118 to 220 kph or 64 to 120 knots. The modern spelling "typhoon" dates to 1820, preceded by "tay-fun" in 1771 and "ty-foong", all derived from the Chinese tai fung. A severe typhoon has wind speeds of 85–104 kn (44–54 m/s; 98–120 mph; 157–193 km/h), while a super typhoon has winds of 100 kn (51 m/s; 120 mph; 190 km/h). [39] The deadliest typhoon of the 20th century was Typhoon Nina, which killed nearly 100,000 in China in 1975 due to a flood that caused 12 reservoirs to fail. Highest one-minute sustained winds: 207 mph (335 kph) … The central pressure is 965 hPa and the maximum wind speed near the center is 130 km/h, gusting to 185 km/h. [12], Any tropical cyclone that develops within the North Indian Ocean between 100°E and 45°E is monitored by the India Meteorological Department (IMD, RSMC New Delhi). Regional specialized meteorological centres, Scales of the intensity of tropical cyclones, Learn how and when to remove this template message, Regional Specialized Meteorological Centers, Automated Tropical Cyclone Forecasting System, BMKG and BoM areas of responsibility west of 135°E, Badan Meteorologi, Klimatologi, dan Geofisika, Regional Specialized Meteorological Centres or the Tropical Cyclone Warning Centres, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Regional Association IV Hurricane Operational Plan 2017, "Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale Information", "Florida Hurricanes and Tropical Storms: 1871–1993: An Historical Survey", "Public Information Statement: Minor Modification of Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale Thresholds Effective May 15, 2012", Typhoon Committee Operational Manual 2015, "What are the description labels used with tropical cyclones by JTWC? Tropical storms also receive official names from RSMC Tokyo. [1][3] When a system becomes a Category 3 hurricane with winds of between 96 and 112 kn (111–129 mph, 178–208 km/h), it is considered to be a major hurricane by the warning centers. [18], The United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center also monitors the basin, and issues warnings on significant tropical cyclones on behalf of the United States Government;[9] these systems are unofficially assigned TC numbers with suffix "S" (which spans the whole South Indian Ocean, including both BMKG and BoM areas of responsibility west of 135°E). [13] Within the region a tropical cyclone is defined as being a non frontal synoptic scale cyclone, that originates over tropical or subtropical waters with organized convection and a definite cyclonic surface wind circulation. In the Western Pacific, the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee uses four separate classifications for tropical cyclones that exist within the basin, which are based on the estimated maximum sustained winds over a 10-minute period. For instance, a Category 2 hurricane that strikes a major urban area will likely do more damage than a large Category 5 hurricane that strikes a mostly rural region. It added that the northeasterly wind flow enhanced by the typhoon will also bring strong breeze to near gale conditions with higher gusts over the coastal and mountainous areas of Northern Luzon that are not under any TCWS in the next 24 hours. [6] The lowest classification used by the Typhoon Committee is a tropical depression, which has 10-minute sustained winds of less than 34 kn (17 m/s; 39 mph; 63 km/h). Storms recurving affect eastern Philippines, eastern China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, and the Russian Far East. The area just northeast of the Philippines is the most active place on Earth for tropical cyclones to exist. [20][21] A Category 4 severe tropical cyclone has winds of 86–110 kn (99–130 mph; 157–200 km/h), while the maximum rating is a Category 5 severe tropical cyclone, which has winds of at least 108 kn (124 mph; 200 km/h).[20][21]. [citation needed] These warm waters are needed to maintain the warm core that fuels tropical systems. In the Philippines, the most active season, since 1945, for tropical cyclone strikes was 1993 when nineteen tropical cyclones moved through the country. [4], A minor change to the scale was made ahead of the 2012 hurricane season, with the wind speeds for Categories 3–5 tweaked to eliminate the rounding errors that had occurred during previous seasons, when a hurricane had wind speeds of 115 kn (130 mph; 215 km/h). A typhoon is a mature tropical cyclone that develops between 180° and 100°E in the Northern Hemisphere. A new name will be decided by the region whose name was retired. Typhoon Nancy in 1961 also had recorded wind speeds of 185 knots (95 m/s) or 215 miles per hour (346 km/h), but recent research indicates that wind speeds from the 1940s to the 1960s were gauged too high, and thus it is no longer considered the storm with the highest wind speed on record. USJTC measured the cyclone’s peak wind speed at 270 kilometres per hour (km / hr) making it the strongest cyclone ever to have been recorded in the Bay of Bengal. Areas west of Japan and Korea tend to experience many fewer September–November tropical cyclone impacts during El Niño and neutral years. The eye is a region of mostly calm weather at the center of tropical cyclones.The eye of a storm is a roughly circular area, typically 30–65 kilometers (19–40 miles) in diameter. Any tropical cyclone that develops within the Southern Hemisphere between Africa and 90°E is monitored by Météo-France's La Réunion tropical cyclone centre (MFR, RSMC La Réunion). [18] Specifically it was decided that the classifications: Weak Tropical Depression, Moderate Tropical Depression and Severe Tropical Depression would be changed to Tropical Depression, Moderate Tropical Storm and Severe Tropical Storm. All of the scales rank tropical cyclones using their maximum sustained winds, which are either observed, measured or estimated using various techniques, over a period between one and ten minutes. [10] Should the storm intensify further and reach sustained wind speeds of 48 knots (55 mph; 89 km/h) then it will be classified as a severe tropical storm. For systems below tropical cyclone strength there are various terms used, including Tropical Disturbance, Tropical Low and Tropical Depression. [28] Typhoon paths follow three general directions.[20]. [10], In addition, the Taiwan Central Weather Bureau has its own scale in Chinese but uses the Typhoon Committee scale in English. [10] The United States' Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) unofficially classifies typhoons with wind speeds of at least 130 knots (67 m/s; 150 mph; 241 km/h)—the equivalent of a strong Category 4 storm on the Saffir–Simpson scale—as super typhoons. [25] Most typhoons form in a region in the northwest Pacific known as typhoon alley, where the planet's most powerful tropical cyclones most frequently develop. [20][21] When a system becomes a Category 3 tropical cyclone it is reclassified as a Severe tropical cyclone and has wind speeds of 64–85 kn (74–98 mph; 119–157 km/h). This typhoon will eventually exit the landmass and return to Pacific Ocean later. [1] They may also continue if the remnants of the system have a chance of regeneration and producing tropical storm or hurricane-force winds over land within 48 hours.[1]. [36] Within Guangdong in southern China, during the past thousand years, the most active decades for typhoon strikes were the 1660s and 1670s.[37]. However, if a tropical disturbance is capable of producing tropical storm or hurricane conditions on land within 48 hours, then advisories will be initiated and it will be classified as a potential tropical cyclone (PTC)[1] with a two-digit PTC number (for example, PTC-09 or PTC-15E) that otherwise looks identical to a TC number. Unlike tropical cyclones in other parts of the world, typhoons are not named after people. The highest reliably-estimated maximum sustained winds on record for a typhoon was that of Typhoon Haiyan at 314 km/h (195 mph) shortly before its landfall in the central Philippines on November 8, 2013. [17], Should the named storm intensify further and reach winds speeds of 48 knots (89 km/h, 55 mph), then it will be classified as a severe tropical storm.
