In 1935, there were 24 tropical cyclones across the western part of the Pacific Ocean.
The first storm of the year formed on January 29 north of the Caroline Islands. [1] The storm moved north over the following days, curving west. The storm later dissipated on January 31. [2]
On April 2, a storm formed east of the Philippines. The storm drifted northwest and later curved west. The storm then made landfall over Samar, specifically over, then curved north, drifting between the island of Marinduque and Bondoc Peninsula on April 7. The storm traversed just south of Infanta, Quezon before weakening and entering the South China Sea as a tropical depression. The storm then dissipated on April 8 just east of Ilocos. [3] When the storm made landfall over Borongan, meteorologists recorded deep convection and well development over the area. [4] Because of the storm, four people were dead and hundreds were left homeless. [5] Another count showed that 37 people died in Samar Island, 22 died in Tayabas, and one person died in Sorsogon. A newspaper reported that when the storm hit the Philippines, 100 fishermen departed, with only 17 of the bodies being found. Another newspaper reported that 78 other fishermen departed, with 58 of the bodies being found, while the other 20 were lost. [6]
On July 2, a storm formed east of the Northern Mariana Islands. [7] The storm curved north and dissipated shortly after on July 4. [8] On July 12, a depression formed between Yap and Palau. The storm then went northwest, curving to a northern curve. [9] On July 13, a storm formed east of the Philippines. The storm moved east and made landfall over the Philippines on July 17. The storm then made landfall over Hainan the following day and shortly after dissipated. [10] On July 14, a storm formed east of the Philippines, the storm drifted east and then curved north. The storm then curved east again and made landfall over China on July 23, dissipating the same day. [11]
On July 28, a storm spawned east of Taiwan. The storm moved west over the following days, making landfall in Taiwan, then moved north. making landfall in China for three days. The storm then curved east and made landfall over Jeju Island. The storm later made landfall over Japan and dissipated on August 12. [12] The storm caused flooding in the Yalu River, engulfing 15,000 houses, with reported floods as high as 24 feet. 110,000 people in the Japanese city of Antung were deemed homeless. Nakaeno-Island was also deemed completely submerged. in Asahi, Chiba, 50 people were believed to be dead after a building they were housed in collapsed. Hours were spent trying to find people and rescue residents. All-in-all, the storm cost 10 million yen. [13]
On August 1, a storm formed east of Taiwan. The storm then drifted northwest, where it made landfall over Taiwan. After the storm crossed Formosa, the winds decreased, with the temperature unfazed. Even though the storm was 400 miles (640 kilometres) away from Aparri, the storm still caused heavy rains across Manila and Baguio. Later, the storm curved north, where it made landfall over mainland China. [14] The storm caused damage over China, marooning 200 foreigners in China. The storm also flooded the Min River, Fujian. Fujian was decided as the worst-hit province in China. [15] [16] The storm also caused heavy rain over the northern part of the archipelago. [16] On August 16, a storm spawned just east of Mindanao because of an extensive high-pressure area weakening, converting into a low-pressure area just near Guam. [16] The storm drifted northwest before traversing around in a circle-like shape and making landfall in Taiwan on August 23. The storm then went northeast, with a ripple-like drift in between, The storm then made landfall in Japan on September 1 and dissipated the next day. [17] On August 19, a storm spawned in the Pacific Ocean. The storm then went northwest and later curved northeast, making landfall in Japan on August 28. The storm then continued, and then made landfall in the tip of Russia on September 1, shortly dissipating. [18] After the storm, newspapers from Manila uncovered a death toll of 42 in Japan. [16] On August 31, a storm formed east of the Philippines. The storm went northwest, then curved northeast, making landfall in South Korea on September 8. A few days later, the storm again made landfall over Japan on September 10. The storm then continued and dissipated the next day. [19]
On September 1, a storm formed northeast of Guam. It moved north-northwest before approaching the Ryukyu Islands. The typhoon then changed its direction to northeast, before dissipating on September 12. [4] On September 12, a storm formed east of Samar. The storm drifted northwest, directly impacting the Philippines. The storm then dissipated on September 21. [20] As a result of the storm, three people died, with 100 families in Baler. Tayabas deemed homeless. An air survey was done by the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement to help relief efforts. [21] When the storm hit Manila, power lines were deemed unusable, preventing accurate death-toll information. [22] On September 15, a storm formed in the Pacific Ocean. The storm curved west, then drifted north and made landfall on Japan. The storm later curved northeast, dissipating on September 25. [23] As a result, 48 people were pronounced dead and 100 people were declared missing in multiple provinces in Japan. A steamer was declared missing, too, with 13 crew members and 19 passengers aboard the steamer. Just a day later, the death toll was counted as 80, with 32 deaths in Niigata Prefecture, Yamanashi Prefecture, and Gunma Prefecture. [24] On September 19, a storm formed east of the Northern Mariana Islands. [25] The storm moved north, making landfall over the northern portion of Japan on September 26 and dissipating on the same day. [26] On September 27, a storm formed south of Japan. The storm drifted north then curved northwest, before dissipating on October 1. [27]
On October 1, a storm formed east of Samar. The storm moved northwest before making landfall over the northern part of Luzon on October 5. The storm then continued and made landfall over Hainan and Vietnam on October 9 before dissipating the same day. [28] On October 2, a storm formed south of Sapporo, [29] the storm traversed north before curving northeast, directly missing Sapporo. The storm dissipated on October 7. [30] Between Samar Island and Leyte, a storm formed on October 10. The storm traversed northwest, directly impacting Leyte and Iloilo. The storm then continued northwest, making landfall in Vietnam on October 13 and dissipating the same day. [31] On October 31, a storm formed in the middle of the ocean. [32] The storm curved northeast in a "squiggly shape". The storm then dissipated on November 3. [33]
On November 9, a storm formed east of Mindanao. The storm ventured northwest, directly making landfall over the Philippines before curving east and making a loop-de-loop. The storm then curved north and curved northeast. The storm dissipated on November 27. [34]
On December 2, a storm formed south of the Northern Mariana Islands. The storm ventured north before curving northwest. The storm then dissipated on December 6. [35] On December 8, a storm appeared east of Ilocos. The storm ventured west before curving southwest, making landfall on December 9. The storm then curved back west and made landfall on Vietnam on December 12, dissipating the same day. [36] On December 16, the last storm of the season formed east of Mindanao. The storm drifted north and then curved west. The storm then made landfall on the Philippines on December 23, dissipating the next day. [37]
The 1940 Atlantic hurricane season was a generally average period of tropical cyclogenesis in 1940. Though the season had no official bounds, most tropical cyclone activity occurred during August and September. Throughout the year, fourteen tropical cyclones formed, of which nine reached tropical storm intensity; six were hurricanes. None of the hurricanes reached major hurricane intensity. Tropical cyclones that did not approach populated areas or shipping lanes, especially if they were relatively weak and of short duration, may have remained undetected. Because technologies such as satellite monitoring were not available until the 1960s, historical data on tropical cyclones from this period are often not reliable. As a result of a reanalysis project which analyzed the season in 2012, an additional hurricane was added to HURDAT. The year's first tropical storm formed on May 19 off the northern coast of Hispaniola. At the time, this was a rare occurrence, as only four other tropical disturbances were known to have formed prior during this period; since then, reanalysis of previous seasons has concluded that there were more than four tropical cyclones in May before 1940. The season's final system was a tropical disturbance situated in the Greater Antilles, which dissipated on November 8.
The 1935 Atlantic hurricane season was a near-normal hurricane season. Altogether, ten tropical cyclones developed, eight of which intensified into tropical storms. Five of those tropical storms strengthened into hurricanes, while three of those reached major hurricane intensity. The season ran from June 1 through November 15, 1935.
The 1912 Atlantic hurricane season was an average hurricane season that featured the first recorded November major hurricane. There were eleven tropical cyclones, seven of which became tropical storms; four of those strengthened into hurricanes, and one reached major hurricane intensity. The season's first cyclone developed on April 4, while the final dissipated on November 21. The season's most intense and most devastating tropical cyclone was the final storm, known as the Jamaica hurricane. It produced heavy rainfall on Jamaica, leading to at least 100 fatalities and about $1.5 million (1912 USD) in damage. The storm was also blamed for five deaths in Cuba.
The 1911 Atlantic hurricane season was a relatively inactive hurricane season, with only six known tropical cyclones forming in the Atlantic during the summer and fall. There were three suspected tropical depressions, including one that began the season in February and one that ended the season when it dissipated in December. Three storms intensified into hurricanes, two of which attained Category 2 status on the modern-day Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale. Storm data is largely based on the Atlantic hurricane database, which underwent a thorough revision for the period between 1911 and 1914 in 2005.
The 1976 Pacific hurricane season was a very deadly and costly season. Hurricanes Kathleen, Liza, and Madeline were the most notable storms this year. Hurricane Kathleen caused death and destruction in California and Arizona due to flooding. Hurricane Liza was the deadliest storm of the season when it killed over 600 people in Mexico. Hurricane Madeline is notable for being one of the most intense Pacific hurricanes at landfall.
The 1975 Pacific hurricane season officially started May 15, 1975, in the eastern Pacific, and June 1, 1975, in the central Pacific, and lasted until November 30, 1975. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northeast Pacific Ocean.
The 1998 Pacific typhoon season was the least active Pacific typhoon season on record, until it was surpassed 12 years later. It would produce 16 tropical storms, 8 strengthening into typhoons. 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 1998 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. Tropical depressions that enter or form in the Philippine area of responsibility are assigned a name by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA. This can often result in the same storm having two names.
The 1994 Pacific typhoon season was an extremely active season in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation in the Western North Pacific, being the second most active season in the basin, only behind 1964. With a total of 36 tropical storms, where 20 of them reached typhoon strength and 6 further strengthening into super typhoons, during the course of the season, much like the Pacific hurricane season. The season had no official bounds and it ran year-round in 1994, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between May and November. Tropical storms that formed west of the date line were assigned a name by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. The World Meteorological Organization-designated Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre for tropical cyclones for the region is the Japan Meteorological Agency. Tropical depressions that entered or formed in the Philippine area of responsibility were assigned a name by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA. This can result in some storms having two names.
The 1979 Pacific typhoon season featured the largest and most intense tropical cyclone recorded globally, Typhoon Tip. The season also used both male and female names as tropical cyclone names for the first time. Additionally, the season was slightly below-average in terms of tropical cyclone activity, with only 24 storms, 12 typhoons, and 4 super typhoons developing. The season had no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1979, 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 1962 Pacific typhoon season had no official bounds; there was activity in every month but January, March, and June, but most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between May and November and this conventionally delimits the season.
The 1953 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1953, 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 1940 Pacific typhoon season marked an interruption in meteorological records in both the Philippines and Hong Kong due to the start of World War II. There were 43 reported tropical cyclones, including 27 that attained typhoon status. The first storm was observed in February, and the first typhoon formed two months later, killing three people along Mindanao. Several storms formed in June and July, including reports of a typhoon in the newspapers that killed 52 in South Korea, and another typhoon reported in newspapers that killed one person on Samar after dropping heavy rainfall. The strongest typhoon of the season originated in July and attained a minimum pressure of 927 mbar (27.4 inHg), as reported by a ship northeast of the Philippines.
In 1900, 23 tropical cyclones were observed in the western Pacific Ocean, north of the equator and west of the International Date Line. In that region of the world, cyclones that attain maximum sustained winds of at least 118 km/h (73 mph) are known as typhoons. Of the 23 storms, 13 were tracked by the Hong Kong Observatory. Activity occurred from January to December, although the majority of the storms formed from June to November.
In 1901, 21 tropical cyclones were observed in the western Pacific Ocean, north of the equator. In that region of the world, cyclones that attain maximum sustained winds of at least 118 km/h (73 mph) are known as typhoons. Out of the 21 storms, the Hong Kong Observatory tracked nine of them. The strongest storm, known as the De Witte typhoon, reached a minimum barometric pressure of 920 mbar (27 inHg), before striking eastern China.
The 1943 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1943, 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 1943 Pacific hurricane season.
The 1944 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1944, 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 1944 Pacific hurricane season.
There were 30 tropical cyclones in the western Pacific Ocean in 1931, including 19 typhoons, as well as one that developed in December of the previous year. The most significant typhoon was one that struck eastern China near Shanghai in the midst of the country's worst floods on record; heavy rainfall caused levees to collapse along the Grand Canal, killing an estimated 300,000 people, including about 2,000 people overnight in the city of Gaoyou.
In 1936, there were 33 tropical cyclones across the northwestern Pacific Ocean, north of the equator and west of the International Date Line, including two that persisted from the previous year. There were at least 19 typhoons, which are tropical cyclones with sustained winds of at least 119 kilometres per hour (74 mph). The year's strongest observed typhoon was in August, when the Fathomer rode out the storm in along the northern Philippines island of Luzon, observing a barometric pressure of 913 mbar (26.96 inHg). The typhoon killed 20 people, one of several deadly tropical cyclones in the year. Also in August, a typhoon crossed the Korean peninsula, killing 1,516 people, with another 1,183 people injured. In October, another typhoon moved across Luzon, killing 546 people.
In 1937, there were 25 tropical cyclones across the northwestern Pacific Ocean, north of the equator and west of the International Date Line. There were at least 17 typhoons, which are tropical cyclones with sustained winds of at least 119 kilometres per hour. The year's strongest observed typhoon was in November, when a barometer in the eastern Philippines observed a barometric pressure of 951 mbar (28.1 inHg). The typhoon was the second in a series of three to make landfall in the eastern Philippines between November and December, resulting in a collective 289 fatalities, as well as causing an outbreak of dysentery. However, the deadliest storm of the season was a typhoon that struck Hong Kong in September, killing at least 11,000 people, mainly fishermen.
In 1902, there were 24 tropical cyclones across the northwestern Pacific Ocean, north of the equator and west of the International Date Line. There were at least 11 typhoons, which are tropical cyclones with sustained winds of at least 119 kilometres per hour. The most effective storm of the year was an unnamed storm which spawned on October 1. The storm created 600 fatalities and caused damages to Japan.
