Depictions of Typhoon Tip and Cyclone Tracy (one of the smallest tropical cyclones ever recorded) superimposed on a map of the United States. Typhoon Tip was the largest tropical cyclone on record, with a diameter of 1,380 mi (2,220 km)—almost double the previous record of 700 mi (1,130 km) in diameter set by Typhoon Marge in August 1951.
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.
Some satellites in recent days estimated the peak strength of the typhoon to be at Category 5 levels on the SSHWS, with sustained winds of up to 180 mph (290 km/h) and gusts of 220 mph (355 km/h ...
On Dec. 27, 2001, 23 years ago today, a tropical storm first became Typhoon Vamei before it slammed into extreme southern Malaysia just north of Singapore. Vamei's flooding and landslides claimed ...
One can choose to track one storm per map, use the map until the table is filled, or use one map per season. Some tracking charts have important contact information in case of an emergency or to locate nearby hurricane shelters. [9] Tracking charts allow tropical cyclones to be better understood by the end user. [43]
Typhoon Tip holds the global record for the lowest pressure of a tropical system, dipping down to 25.69 inches of mercury (870 millibars) when it tracked across the western Pacific Ocean in ...
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 ...
The strongest typhoon to hit the territory of roughly 150,000 people since 2002, Mawar briefly made landfall around 9 p.m. Wednesday as a Category 4 storm at Andersen Air Force Base on the ...
