Typhoon Bolaven at its peak intensity while over the open Pacific on October 12, 2023. Violent typhoon is the highest category used by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) to classify tropical cyclones in the Northwest Pacific basin. The basin is limited to the north of the equator between the 100th meridian east and the 180th meridian.
Typhoon Tip at its record peak intensity on October 12. The most intense storm by lowest pressure and peak 10-minute sustained winds was Typhoon Tip, which was also the most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded in terms of minimum central pressure. Storms with a minimum pressure of 899 hPa (26.55 inHg) or less are listed.
A collage of the ten deadliest tropical cyclones worldwide since 1990. This is a list of the deadliest tropical cyclones, including all known storms that caused at least 1,000 direct deaths.
Between 1979 and 2016, typhoons increased in duration by two to nine hours and penetrated 30 to 190 kilometers farther inland, the researchers found. The study was published in the journal ...
As another typhoon made landfall in Japan, climate researchers said warmer seas were providing extra "fuel" for tropical storms in Asia, making them more dangerous. Typhoon Gaemi swept across East ...
Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) on November 7, 2013, one of the strongest Pacific typhoons ever recorded.. Since 1947, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) has classified all typhoons in the Northwestern Pacific Ocean with wind speeds of at least 130 knots (67 m/s; 150 mph; 240 km/h)—the equivalent of a strong Category 4 on the Saffir–Simpson scale, as super typhoons.

Super Typhoon makes landfall with sustained winds of up to 125mph, destroying houses and powerlines on its path ... "It is more dangerous now for those in landslide-prone areas because the ground ...
Since 2009 the Hong Kong Observatory has divided typhoons into three different classifications: typhoon, severe typhoon and super typhoon. [20] 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 ...
