For the intensity scale, PAGASA lowered the threshold wind speed for classifying super typhoons from 220 km/h to 185 km/h and defined a super typhoon as an extreme tropical cyclone with 10-minute maximum sustained winds reaching 185 km/h or greater (the range of wind speed for typhoon category is consequently adjusted to 118–184 km/h).
PAGASA's Tropical Cyclone Intensity Scale [1] [2] Category Sustained winds Super typhoon (STY) ≥185 km/h ≥100 knots: Typhoon (TY) 118–184 km/h
The scale used for a particular tropical cyclone depends on what basin the system is located in; with for example the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale and the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scales both used in the Western Hemisphere. All of the scales rank tropical cyclones using their maximum sustained winds, which are either ...
Until recently, the warning scale it used was a four-point scale, with Signal #4 being the highest possible warning issued to a locality. However, a fifth warning signal was introduced in the 2010s for powerful typhoons since Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) in 2013. In 2022, PAGASA revised its own definition for a "super typhoon" and its warning signals.
Typhoon Yinxing, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Marce, was a powerful tropical cyclone that impacted the Philippines before later affecting Vietnam in early November 2024. It was the third tropical cyclone in a series to impact the Philippines, following Tropical Storm Trami and Typhoon Kong-rey a few days earlier, and Typhoons Toraji ...
Typhoon Man-yi, known in the Philippines as Super Typhoon Pepito, was a powerful and long-tracked tropical cyclone that impacted the Philippines in mid–November 2024. . Closely following Tropical Storm Trami and Typhoons Kong-rey, Yinxing, Toraji and Usagi, Man-yi became the sixth and final consecutive tropical system to affect the country in less than a

Typhoon Toraji, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Nika, was a fairly strong tropical cyclone that impacted the Philippines in early November 2024. It was the fourth tropical cyclone in a series to impact the Philippines, following Tropical Storm Trami and Typhoons Kong-rey , Yinxing , Usagi , and Man-yi which had occurred just a few days earlier.
