Typhoon Grace was a strong typhoon that severely impacted the mainland Japan, whilst the Ryukyu Islands also receiving minor damages. The fourth storm to be monitored by the Fleet Weather Central during the 1954 Pacific typhoon season, Grace was first monitored by the FWC as a tropical storm in the Philippine Sea on the night of August 11. The christened storm then kept its status while tracking northwestwards and due westwards. Two days later, the agency upgraded it into a typhoon before turning towards the Ryukyu Islands by August 14, where its eye passed just near Okinawa Island. Grace peaked as a Category 3 typhoon into the modern-day Saffir–Simpson scale two times; upon entering the East China Sea and just near landfall over the mainland Japan. Upon doing it so, it rapidly weakened and degenerated into a low-pressure system on August 19. However, the JMA tracked the storm's remnants until August 23.

Airplanes from the 307th Bomb Wing were flown into the Philippines to escape any damages from the approaching Grace and Americans on Okinawa were asked to shelter. Only minor damages occurred there, but one person was killed and 10 other suffered injuries. Disruption were also confined to electricity and water supply being lost and huts being wrecked. Ships around Formosa, and troops over the Korean Peninsula were also warned about the storm. Landslides from heavy rains caused over 20 people to be buried alive in Miyazaki Prefecture while many houses across Kagoshima Prefecture were either destroyed or inundated. Over 510 mm of rain were also received over the country's mountain areas. 191 vessels also received damages from the storm, as well as croplands. In total, over 28 were confirmed to be killed due to Grace across Japan, while 33 were to be unaccounted for. 15 more were killed over the Korean Peninsula's south when rough waves overturned a fishing vessel and three only survived.

Meteorological history

Grace was first tracked by the Fleet Weather Center (now Joint Typhoon Warning Center) at 18:00 UTC as a 40 knots (74 km/h; 46 mph) tropical storm, to the south of Japan on August 11 at 18:00 UTC. Now moving northwestwards, it remained in this intensity until the JMA first monitored the storm six hours later with a pressure of 990 millibars (29 inHg). The storm then slightly inclined westwards before returning to its former movement. Staying in tropical storm intensity, it slowly intensified to modern-day Category 1 typhoon by August 13 at 06:00 UTC. Intensification again halted as Grace continued a westward trajectory before turning towards the north, where it intensified into a Category 2 system by 12:00 UTC of August 14 as it started to impact the Ryukyu Islands. Grace further strengthened into a Category 3 typhoon by the next day before passing into the East China Sea from the Philippine Sea, where it first developed. The JMA also estimated a pressure of 940 millibars (28 inHg) at that time, which continued until two days later. Shortly after passing near the main island of Okinawa, the JTWC reported that the system started to weaken, degrading to 70 knots (130 km/h; 81 mph) by 18:00 UTC.^[1]^[2]

Grace again then halted its intensification trend as it started to aim at the main Japanese islands while turning northeast. By 18:00 UTC of August 16, it restrengthened slightly and into the next day, the storm attained Category 2 strength for the second time. The typhoon further continued strengthening back into its initial peak by 12:00 UTC before it made landfall somewhere over the Kagoshima Prefecture at that intensity before weakening inland. Still attaining the pressure estimates of JMA upon hitting land, the typhoon is considered one of the strongest to hit mainland Japan in terms of minimum pressure.^[3] On August 19 at 06:00 UTC (15:00 JST), the FWC downgraded Grace into a low-pressure area while situated over the central portion of the country.^[4] The agency would stop following the system three hours later. However, Grace was still monitored by the JMA as it exited the mainland back into the Pacific Ocean as a weakened system. The agency ceased tracking the remnants of Grace by 06:00 UTC of August 23, to the south of the Aleutian Islands.^[1]^[2]

Effects

Ships across the waters of Formosa (now Taiwan) were alerted to leave the area where the typhoon would track. Strong winds were also forecasted to batter the country. The weathermen at the Tokyo Weather Central also noted that the typhoon may bring rainfall to the Yangtze Valley, where the place was already flooded.^[5] The outer bands of the typhoon were also foreseen to affect the Korean Peninsula, where American troops there were alerted.^[6]

As a preparation for Grace, the B-29 Superforts airplanes of the 307th Bomb Wing were sheltered to the Clark Air Field in the Philippines. American individuals residing in Okinawa were also warned to seek shelter. Reconnaissance aircraft from the TWC were also analysing the storm, along with Helen, which is developing to Grace’s right.^[7] The eye of the storm passed about 60 miles (97 km) to the islands’ south-southeast, where wind gusts of 124 miles per hour (200 km/h) were registered. Its center also possessed winds of 105 miles per hour (169 km/h) upon grazing the region.^[5] Although, no major damages or reported deaths were first reported there.^[8] Quonset huts were also wrecked by the storm, and power lines were downed, causing electrical outages on areas of Okinawa but not on all parts of the island. Water supply were also disrupted.^[9] Further assessments on the island revealed that a Japanese man was killed and 11 Americans suffered injuries due to Grace. Over 16 residential areas in Fort Buckner also suffered damages, and high tide flooded 500 homes in coastal places. An aircraft also received damages.^[6]^[10]

As the storm roared into the mainland Japanese archipelago, 31 persons were either killed or became missing. The Miyazaki Prefecture alone reported 22 people being buried alive by a landslide. In Kagoshima Prefecture, over 251 homes were completely destroyed while over 4,400 households were inundated by the storm’s floods. The National Rural Police in Kyushu also collected reports about nine vessels sinking during the onslaught of the storm by August 18. Rainfall amounts in mountainous areas were estimated to be over 20 inches (510 mm) were recorded.^[10] The region also listed 43 individuals to be missing and 17 dead due to the storm, from United Press International (UPI).^[11] A vessel named ‘’Ebisu Maru’’ also sent a distress signal over the East China Sea while the typhoon is strengthening there and was presumed to be lost thereafter. USS Rowan, a destroyer were sent into the area to search for the ill-fated ship.^[12] The weakening Grace then hit Yokohama, where flooding were seen over the residential areas around Lake Hamana and the city of Tokyo. Rough waves also impacted shores around the former city.^[13] Many tourists over Mount Fuji were stranded there and intermittent weather also halted the arrival of SS President Cleveland into Yokohama Harbor.^[4] A fishing boat named ‘’No. 2 Sakae Maru’’, a 46-ton vessel also sank during the storm; out of its 45 crew, 32 were successfully rescued and 13 were declared dead as search operations for them were called off by August 23.^[14] According to the now-Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), Grace overall caused 28 casualties in the country, as well as 33 missing. 69 individuals also received injuries. 5,442 homes were wrecked, and 32,265 houses were inundated with floodwaters. 191 marine boats and ships were damaged, as well as 30,476 hectares (75,310 acres) of cropland.^[15] 15 more were killed as a fishing boat over the waters of the Man River in present-day South Korea sank and three only managed to swam into safety.^[16]

The 2005 Pacific typhoon season was the least active typhoon season since 2000, producing 23 named storms, of which 13 became typhoons. It was an event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation, in which tropical cyclones form in the western Pacific Ocean. The season ran throughout 2005, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and October. The season's first named storm, Kulap, developed on January 13, while the season's last named storm, Bolaven, dissipated on November 20. The season's first typhoon, Haitang, reached typhoon status on July 13, and became the first super typhoon of the year three days later.

The 2001 Pacific typhoon season was the fourth and final consecutive year with below-average activity, making it the lowest four-year period of activity since 1976–1979, due to the presence of a strong La Niña that had persisted from 1998–2001. The season produced twenty-five named storms, sixteen typhoons and three super typhoons. It ran year-round in 2001, with most tropical cyclones in the northwestern Pacific Ocean tending between May and November.

Typhoon Shanshan, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Luis, was a strong typhoon that affected parts of East Asia in late September 2006. The 13th named storm of the 2006 Pacific typhoon season, Typhoon Shanshan was also the seventh typhoon of the year operationally recognised by the Japan Meteorological Agency. In post-operational analysis Shanshan became the eighth typhoon of the year when Typhoon Maria was added to the list. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center considered Shanshan the 13th tropical storm and eighth typhoon of the season, a Category 4-equivalent typhoon in terms of 1-minute average wind speed. The name Shanshan was submitted to the naming list by Hong Kong and is a girls' given name.

Typhoon Nabi, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Jolina, was a powerful typhoon that struck southwestern Japan in September 2005. The 14th named storm of the 2005 Pacific typhoon season, Nabi formed on August 29 to the east of the Northern Mariana Islands. It moved westward and passed about 55 km (35 mi) north of Saipan on August 31 as an intensifying typhoon. On the next day, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center upgraded the storm to super typhoon status, with winds equivalent to that of a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale. The Japan Meteorological Agency estimated peak ten-minute winds of 175 km/h (110 mph) on September 2. Nabi weakened while curving to the north, striking the Japanese island of Kyushu on September 6. After brushing South Korea, the storm turned to the northeast, passing over Hokkaido before becoming extratropical on September 8, before dissipating on September 12.

The 2017 Pacific typhoon season was a below-average season in terms of accumulated cyclone energy and the number of typhoons and super typhoons, and the first since the 1977 season to not produce a Category 5-equivalent typhoon on the Saffir–Simpson scale. The season produced a total of 27 named storms, 11 typhoons, and only two super typhoons, making it an average season in terms of storm numbers. It was an event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation, in which tropical cyclones form in the western Pacific Ocean. The season runs throughout 2017, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and October. The season's first named storm, Muifa, developed on April 25, while the season's last named storm, Tembin, dissipated on December 26. This season also featured the latest occurrence of the first typhoon of the year since 1998, with Noru reaching this intensity on July 23.

The 2018 Pacific typhoon season was at the time, the costliest Pacific typhoon season on record, until the record was beaten by the following year. The season was well above-average, producing 29 storms, 13 typhoons, and 7 super typhoons. It was an event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation, in which tropical cyclones form in the western Pacific Ocean. The season ran throughout 2018, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and October. The season's first named storm, Bolaven, developed on January 3, while the season's last named storm, Man-yi, dissipated on November 28. The season's first typhoon, Jelawat, reached typhoon status on March 29, and became the first super typhoon of the year on the next day.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Typhoon Francisco (2013)</span> Pacific typhoon in 2013

Typhoon Francisco, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Urduja, was a powerful typhoon that strengthened to the equivalent of a Category 5 on the Saffir-Simpson scale, according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. The 25th named storm and the 10th typhoon of the 2013 Pacific typhoon season, Francisco formed on October 16 east of Guam from a pre-existing area of convection. With favorable conditions, it quickly intensified into a tropical storm before passing south of Guam. After stalling to the southwest of the island, Francisco turned to the northwest into an environment of warm waters and low wind shear, becoming a typhoon. The JTWC upgraded it to super typhoon status on October 18, while the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) estimated peak 10-minute sustained winds of 195 km/h (120 mph). Gradual weakening ensued, and after the typhoon turned to the northeast, Francisco deteriorated into a tropical storm on October 24. Passing southeast of Okinawa and mainland Japan, the storm accelerated and became extratropical on October 26, dissipating later that day.

Typhoon Lingling, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Nanang, was a deadly typhoon that struck the Philippines and China in 2001 and caused 379 deaths. The name "Lingling" was given by Hong Kong. The 39th tropical depression, 22nd named storm, and 13th typhoon of the 2001 Pacific typhoon season, Lingling developed into a tropical depression on November 6 and given the local name Nanang by the PAGASA. The next day, it was upgraded into a tropical storm and given the name Lingling by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). Lingling's intensity briefly stagnated as it moved over Visayas before resuming intensification and intensifying into a severe tropical storm on November 8. One day later, both the JMA and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) upgraded Lingling to a typhoon as it exited the Philippine archipelago and moved into the South China Sea. After intensifying into a typhoon, Lingling began to quickly intensify, peaking with 10-min sustained winds of 155 km/h (100 mph) and 1-min sustained winds of 215 km/h (130 mph), with a minimum central pressure of 940 mbar (27.76 inHg). Lingling began to weaken as it approached the Vietnamese coast, before making landfall on November 11 at 18:00 UTC. Lingling rapidly weakened afterward, dissipating on November 12.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Typhoon Wendy (1960)</span> Pacific typhoon in 1960

Typhoon Wendy was a weak typhoon that damaged Japan in August of the 1960 Pacific typhoon season. On August 10, a tropical depression formed near Typhoon Virginia and strengthened to a tropical storm later that day, receiving the name Wendy from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC). The storm continued to intensify as it traveled toward the Japanese archipelago, becoming a typhoon a day after formation. The typhoon peaked with winds of 140 kilometres per hour (85 mph) while located south of Japan. Wendy made landfalls in Shikoku and Honshu on August 12, and became extratropical on August 13. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) stopped tracking the cyclone on August 15.

Typhoon Halola, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Goring, was a small but long-lived tropical cyclone in July 2015 that traveled 7,640 km (4,750 mi) across the Pacific Ocean. The fifth named storm of the 2015 Pacific hurricane season, Halola originated from a Western Pacific monsoon trough that had expanded into the Central Pacific by July 5. Over the next several days, the system waxed and waned due to changes in wind shear before organizing into a tropical depression on July 10 while well southwest of Hawaii. The depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Halola on the next day as it traveled westward. Halola crossed the International Date Line on July 13 and entered the Western Pacific, where it was immediately recognized as a severe tropical storm. The storm further strengthened into a typhoon over the next day before encountering strong wind shear on July 16, upon which it quickly weakened into a tropical depression as it passed south of Wake Island. However, the shear relaxed on July 19, allowing Halola to reintensify. On July 21, Halola regained typhoon status and later peaked with 10-minute sustained winds of 150 km/h (90 mph) and a minimum pressure of 955 hPa. From July 23 onward, increasing wind shear and dry air caused Halola to weaken slowly. The system fell below typhoon intensity on July 25 as it began to recurve northwards. Halola made landfall over Kyushu on July 26 as a tropical storm and dissipated in the Tsushima Strait shortly after.

Typhoon Charlotte was a damaging typhoon that struck Okinawa during the 1959 Pacific typhoon season. An area of low pressure developed in early October, and it became a tropical depression on October 9. The depression strengthened to a tropical storm one day later, and it received the name Charlotte from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC). The system strengthened quickly and became a typhoon eighteen hours later. Charlotte continued to rapidly strengthen to its peak of 260 km/h (160 mph) on October 13. The typhoon began to weaken afterwards, and it traveled south of Okinawa on October 16. The typhoon weakened to a tropical storm on October 19 as it began its extratropical transition. The storm became extratropical later that day, and the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) ceased tracking the system on October 20.

The 2021 Pacific typhoon season was the second consecutive to have below-average tropical cyclone activity, with twenty-two named storms, and was the least active since 2011. Nine became typhoons, and five of those intensified into super typhoons. This low activity was caused by a strong La Niña that had persisted from the previous year. The season's first named storm, Dujuan, developed on February 16, while the last named storm, Rai, dissipated on December 21. The season's first typhoon, Surigae, reached typhoon status on April 16. It became the first super typhoon of the year on the next day, also becoming the strongest tropical cyclone in 2021. Surigae was also the most powerful tropical cyclone on record in the Northern Hemisphere for the month of April. Typhoons In-fa and Rai are responsible for more than half of the total damage this season, adding up to a combined total of $2.017 billion.

The 2022 Pacific typhoon season was the third consecutive season to have below-average tropical cyclone activity, with twenty-five named storms, although it was more active than the previous seasons by named storm count. Ten became typhoons, and three of those intensified into super typhoons. This low activity was caused by a unusually strong La Niña that had persisted from 2020. The season's first named storm, Malakas, developed on April 6, while the last named storm, Pakhar, dissipated on December 12. The season's first typhoon, Malakas, reached typhoon status on April 12. The season ran throughout 2022, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and October. Tropical storms Megi and Nalgae were responsible for more than half of the casualties, while typhoons Hinnamnor and Nanmadol both caused $1 billion in damages.

Typhoon Emma was a strong typhoon that struck Okinawa during the 1959 Pacific typhoon season. An area of severe weather formed near Kwajalein Atoll on October 30, and the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) began tracking it as a tropical depression on November 1. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center followed suit on November 5 after finding a closed circulation, and the depression received the name Emma. The depression strengthened into a tropical storm west of Guam on November 6 and gradually gained strength. Emma became a typhoon on November 11 near Luzon, and it reached its peak sustained winds of 205 km/h; 125 mph (110 kn) later that day. The typhoon turned northeastwards and grazed Okinawa the next day. Emma steadily weakened and became extratropical on November 13, and the JMA ceased tracking the storm on November 15.

Typhoon Prapiroon, also known as Tropical Storm Florita in the Philippines, was a typhoon that worsened the floods in Japan and also caused impacts in neighboring South Korea. The storm formed from an area of low pressure near the Philippines, and strengthened to a typhoon before entering the Sea of Japan.

Typhoon Jane was a catastrophic and deadly tropical cyclone that left significant effects to Japan during the 1950 Pacific typhoon season. It caused over 398 reported deaths and 141 to be missing, mainly due to the landslides and flooding. It also destroyed some battle and cargo ships. The sixth reported typhoon of the season, Jane was first mentioned in weather maps as a tropical depression to the east of the Philippines. It quickly strengthened to a tropical storm as it moved to the northwest. It then curved to the northeast, reaching its peak intensity of 185 km/h before weakening and striking Minami in Tokushima Prefecture on September 3 as a Category 2 typhoon. It quickly weakened, passing through the Awaji Island and Kobe before becoming extratropical in the Sea of Japan on the same day. The extratropical remnants of the system persisted until it was no longer tracked on September 7.

Severe Tropical Storm Maliksi, known in the Philippines as Severe Tropical Storm Domeng, was a tropical cyclone in June 2018 that brought rainfall to the Philippines and Japan. It caused 2 deaths and prompted the PAGASA to declare the beginning of the rainy season in the Philippines. The fifth named storm and 4th tropical cyclone in the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), it was first noted as an area of convection on May 31.

Typhoon June was a large, strong and devastating typhoon that severely impacted the west and central areas of mainland Japan, causing scores of deaths and heavy devastation. A large storm, it was the tenth storm to be tracked by the Fleet Weather Center (FWC) during the 1954 Pacific typhoon season. The storm was already a tropical storm when it was first noticed by both the FWC and JMA by September 4. Only six hours later, the storm intensified into a typhoon and underwent rapid intensification into a modern-day Category 4 super typhoon just east of northern Luzon in the Philippines with maximum sustained winds of 130 knots calculated in 1-minute sustained winds along with JMA's estimates of its minimum pressure of 910 millibars (27 inHg) on September 7. However, it started to weaken below super typhoon status, and its intensity began to fluctuate while moving northwestwards and north-northwestwards. As it turned northwards by September 12, June regained its intensity as a Category 4 system before making landfall over Yamaguchi Prefecture's Shimonoseki City. There, it weakened and crossed into the Sea of Japan as a tropical storm. Data from the now-Joint Typhoon Warning Center indicated that as the storm made landfall somewhere Primorsky Krai, it retained its tropical storm status. Upon moving inland, it degenerated into an extratropical low before being last monitored by FWC during September 15. However, the JMA did the same on the next day at 06:00 UTC.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Typhoon Lorna (1954)</span> Pacific typhoon in 1954

Typhoon Lorna was a strong Category 3 typhoon that severely impacted some areas of Honshu Island, especially Yokohama and Tokyo while also causing damages across the Northern Mariana Islands. The second typhoon to hit Japan after Typhoon June in September, it is the eleventh system to be monitored by the FWC during the 1954 Pacific typhoon season. The storm was first tracked by the JMA on September 10, before the FWC followed suit on the next day. After intensifying into a tropical storm by the latter time, it struggled to strengthen further until it intensified into a modern-day Category 1 typhoon on the Saffir–Simpson scale. It then passed just north of the Marianas around September 13, before turning northwestwards on the next day. It then continued to strengthen into a Category 2 typhoon at the morning of September 15 before becoming a Category 3 system on the afternoon of that day. It remained in this strength before it degraded below that status around the next day. On September 17, Lorna was seized by a frontal system, forcing it to move north-northeastwards and make landfall over the Boso Peninsula on the next day. Its eye reportedly passed through Yokohama at that day. It then rapidly degenerated into an extratropical system as it pulled away from Japan, being last monitored by the JMA on September 22.

Typhoon Danas was an intense Category 3 typhoon that struck Japan in September of 2001. As the fifteenth named storm and the seventh typhoon of the 2001 Pacific typhoon season, it originated from an area of convection many miles to the west of Wake Island. It developed gradually causing the Joint Typhoon Warning Center to issue their first warning on September 3, with the system being classified as Tropical Depression 19W. It was late upgraded to a tropical storm that same day, gaining the name Danas. It began to rapidly intensify as it moved west. It strengthened into a typhoon the following day, and Danas still continued to strengthen until it reached its peak with winds of 195 kilometres per hour (120 mph). It maintained its strength for 18 hours. It then began to head towards Japan. It quickly weakened and made landfall in Japan on September 11. After crossing the eastern portion of Honshu, Danas weakened into a tropical storm. On September 12, it transitioned into an extratropical cyclone. The name Danas was submitted by the Philippines and is an Austronesian verb meaning to experience or to feel.
