The lowest classification used by the Typhoon Committee is a tropical depression, which has 10-minute sustained winds of less than 34 kn (17 m/s; 39 mph; 63 km/h). [8] Should the tropical depression intensify further it is named and classified as a tropical storm, which has winds speeds between 34–47 kn (17–24 m/s; 39–54 mph; 63–87 km/h ...
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).
TCWS #1 winds of 39–61 km/h (21–33 kn; 24–38 mph) are prevailing or expected to occur within 36 hours: TCWS #2 winds of 62–88 km/h (33–48 kn; 39–55 mph) are prevailing or expected to occur within 24 hours
