Other notable named storms

  • Wanda, 1962, Hong Kong - Often cited by Hong Kong residents as an example of a deadly storm. Although it ranked only as Category 2 on the Saffir-Simpson scale, the deficient warning system at the time led to many deaths in the villages of the New Territories unaware of the storm surge.
  • Typhoon Ruby, 1964 - the strongest and worst named typhoon to hit Hong Kong in recorded history. killed over 700 and caused widespread damage.
  • Rose, 1971, Hong Kong
  • Nina, 1975 - Dropped rain over eastern China, contributing to the collapse of the Banqiao Dam which killed at least 170,000
  • Pamela, 1976, Guam
  • Tip, 1979, Japan - Most intense and largest tropical cyclone on record
  • Typhoon Gay, 1989 - Rare typhoon that crossed Thailand as a 120 mph (190 km/h) cat 3 typhoon; crossed into North Indian Ocean Basin and hit India as a cat. 5, killing 39.
  • Herb, 1996, Taiwan and China - The strongest and the largest storm of this year, dropped heavy rain over Taiwan and China, killing hundreds.
  • Paka, 1997, Guam
  • Ivan and Joan, 1997 - two of the most intense cyclones ever recorded at 872 mb; reached extreme intensities at close distance to each other.
  • Typhoon Zeb, 1998 cat. 5 with 872 milibars of pressure; caused severe damage in the Philippines, killing nearly 100.
  • Maggie, Sam, York and Cam 1999, Hong Kong - Four storms to directly strike the vicinity of Hong Kong within one typhoon season
  • Fitow, 2007 - hit Tokyo
  • Man-yi, 2007, the strongest typhoon to affect Japan in the month of July in recorded history.[49]
  • Typhoon Fengshen (2008) - is a typhoon that struck the Philippines with an unusual path hence was poorly forecasted throughout its lifetime. 800 of the 856 people on board the MV Princess of the Stars were killed when the ship capsized at the height of the typhoon. Testimonies from survivors of the maritime tragedy suggest that the ferry have actually passed the typhoon's eye directly. [50] There is a total of 1371 direct fatalities and 87 people missing during the storm's lifetime.
  • Tropical Storm Nangka (2009) - although a weak storm, it managed to spawn a tornado and a hail with the latter rarely experienced in the Philippines. [51]
  • Typhoon Parma (2009) - is another unusual typhoon to strike Philippines. It made an unprecedented three consecutive landfalls in the same area in Northern Luzon, Philippines alone and had moved very slowly and at times, almost stationary in its second and third landfalls which resulted in heavy flooding and constant wind damage[52][53]. Ilocos provinces and Abra (province) reportedly experienced strong winds and heavy rains for 15 hours straight.[54]

Notable unnamed storms

  • The Kamikaze, 1281, destroyed a Mongol invasion fleet attacking Japan.
  • A system of unknown intensity that hit Haiphong in 1881, killing 300,000 people.
  • The 1922 Swatow Typhoon, a system of unknown intensity that struck Swatow, China late on August 2, 1922, killing more than 50,000 people.[55]
  • 1934 Muroto Typhoon - killing at least 3,036, another 15,361 are injured, with 92,323 houses are lost.
  • The Great Hong Kong Typhoon of 1937 - killed 11,000
  • Typhoon Cobra (Typhoon of 1944), 17-18 December, three US destroyers lost
  • 1945 Makurazaki Typhoon - killing at least 3,756, another 2,452 are injured, with 116,491 houses are lost.
  • Typhoon of July 1949 - killed 1,600 in Shanghai, making it the deadliest typhoon in the city's history.

Most intense storms on record

This list includes Western Pacific storms with pressures of less than 885 mb and Atlantic, Eastern Pacific and South Pacific storms with pressure of less than 915 mb. Additional Western Pacific storms with pressures between 885 and 915 mb have been recorded, but these storms are neither exceptional for that basin nor all reliably measured. As for Indian Ocean storms, pressure readings are too scarce or too inaccurate to make a list reliable.[62] [63]

As a result of the omissions of many Western Pacific storms, many storms near the bottom of the list are not numerically ranked.

Notes:

  • *Minimum central pressure of these storms was estimated based on satellite data rather than directly measured.
  • **Official estimate. JTWC estimated 879 mbar.
  • ***Official estimate. JTWC estimated 879 mbar and unofficial estimates were 869 mbar (which would make it the most intense recorded tropical cyclone).
  • ****Official estimate. JTWC estimated 898 mbar.

Size extremes

The relative sizes of Typhoon Tip, Tropical Cyclone Tracy, and the United States.
  • Typhoon Tip is the largest tropical cyclone on record at 1350 miles (2170 km) wide, October (1979)
  • Tropical Storm Marco is the smallest significant tropical cyclone on record at 10 miles (20 km) wide, October (2008)

These sizes indicate the distance from the center at which gale-force winds could be found.[64]

Highest storm surge

The three powerful hurricanes listed below caused very high storm surge. Hurricane Katrina had the highest recorded storm surge of any Atlantic hurricane and Hurricane Camille had the second-highest. Worldwide storm surge data is sparse. Cyclone Mahina is generally regarded as having had the highest storm surge ever recorded, although measurements from before modern times must be viewed with some skepticism.

Storm surge is enhanced by high winds and greater storm size. The shape of the coastline and the contour of the bottom near the coast are also significant factors. Hurricane Katrina was the largest Category 5 hurricane recorded in the Atlantic, and Hurricane Camille tied for the highest recorded windspeed; both struck an area vulnerable to high storm surge because of the shallow coastal waters.

Unusual landfalls

For unusual landfalls in the Atlantic basin, see List of notable Atlantic hurricanes.

Brazil

California

Greenland

New Zealand

  • April, 1968 - Cyclone Giselle struck New Zealand causing the Wahine disaster.
  • 5-10 March, 1988 - Cyclone Bola killed 3 people in New Zealand receiving up to 1m of rain causing vast numbers of slips on the eastern side of the country.

Somalia

  • 1984 - A tropical storm struck Somalia,
  • 1984 - A late season cyclone slammed Somalia.
  • 1994 - Somalia was hit by a tropical storm that brought 65 mph (105 km/h) winds and heavy rains.
  • 1997 - A weak November storm made landfall in Eastern Somalia.

Spain

  • 2005 - Hurricane Vince Made landfall in southwestern Spain as a tropical depression. Vince is the only recorded tropical system to make landfall on Spain.

Southern Western Australia

  • 1956 - A cyclone made a close track along the whole Western Australian coast, and made a near landfall near Perth.
  • 1978 - Cyclone Alby made a close encounter to the south-west of Western Australia as a strong extratropical system in the vicinity of Perth and Albany, causing extensive damage and five deaths. Albany recorded one of its highest wind gusts on record from Cyclone Alby.
  • 1989 - Cyclone Ned passed almost directly over Perth.

Extreme latitudes

This list contains tropical cyclones that formed or moved to an extraordinary latitude. It can be extreme north (or south) latitude, or very equatorial cyclones.

  • 1966 - Hurricane Faith reached an unprecedented northerly latitude of 62.5 degrees, just north of the Faroe Islands in the Norwegian Sea. Faith degenerated over Scandinavia, and the remnant low pressure area eventually reached Franz Josef Land, only 300 miles (480 km) from the North Pole.
  • 1975 - A central Pacific unnamed hurricane formed at a record north latitude for the Central and East Pacific (tropical storm at 32N and hurricane at 40N)
  • 2000 - Hurricane Alberto persisted north while tropical until a latitude of about 53°N.
  • 2001 - Typhoon Vamei formed 85 miles (137 km) from the equator, the closest recorded formation location of a storm of hurricane strength.
  • 2004 - Cyclone Agni reached a location of only 40 miles (64 km) from the equator, the closest to the equator any tropical cyclone has been recorded to have reached. However, Vamei retained the record for the most equatorial formation as Agni formed farther from the equator than Vamei and moved towards it.

Year-crossing Northern Hemisphere storms

This is a list of Northern Hemisphere storms that have crossed two calendar years. Because the Southern Hemisphere cyclone season runs across the New Year, Southern Hemisphere storms that cross calendar years are not unusual, so they are not included here.

Storm Duration Basin
Tropical Storm Zeta December 30, 2005-January 6, 2006 Atlantic
Typhoon Vamei December 26, 2001-January 1, 2002 North Indian\West Pacific
Typhoon Soulik December 29, 2000-January 4, 2001 West Pacific[66][67]
Typhoon Mary December 20, 1977-January 3, 1978 West Pacific[68]
Typhoon Harriet December 24, 1959-January 2, 1960 West Pacific[69]
Hurricane Alice December 30, 1954-January 6, 1955 Atlantic
Typhoon Hester December 27, 1952-January 4, 1953 West Pacific

Different storms with same name in same year

  • 1954 - There were two Hurricane Alices in 1954. One formed in June and struck Mexico. The other one formed on December 30 and lasted though January,1955. They were thought to have been in two separate years, but post-storm analysis showed the second was to have formed in December 1954, so they were both named Alice.
  • 1970 - There were two tropical storms named Ione, one of which hit the Mexican coastline with 60 mph (97 km/h) winds.
  • 1986 - There were two storms named Vera. One was a typhoon while another was a weak tropical storm. Operationally, Vera was treated as one storm until post storm analysis found that it was actually two separate storms.
  • 1997 - In north Pacific, two storms were named Linda, one typhoon and one hurricane.
  • 2003 - In the Southern Hemisphere, two storms were named Beni, one in the South Pacific in February, one in the South Indian in November.
