PAGASA also retires names for typhoons and tropical storms that affect the Philippines.

Significant typhoons with special names

Eight especially significant typhoons were named by Japan Meteorological Agency according to the area where they caused most damage.

Other notable named storms

  • Man-yi, 2007, the strongest typhoon to affect Japan in the month of July in recorded history.[47]
  • Maggie, Sam, York and Cam 1999, Hong Kong - Four storms to directly strike the vicinity of Hong Kong within one typhoon season
  • Paka, 1997, Guam
  • Herb, 1996, Taiwan and China - The strongest and the largest storm of this year, dropped heavy rain over Taiwan and China, killing hundreds.

Most intense storms on record

Main article: List of most intense tropical cyclones

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.[51] [52]

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)
  • Cyclone Tracy is the smallest significant tropical cyclone on record at 60 miles (96 km) wide, December (1974)

These sizes indicate the distance from the center at which gale-force winds could be found.[53]

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.

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.

  • 1975 - A central Pacific unnamed hurricane formed at a record north latitude for the Central and East Pacific.
  • 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 further from the equator than Vamei and moved towards it.
  • 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.

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[55][56]
Typhoon Mary December 20, 1977-January 3, 1978 West Pacific[57]
Typhoon Harriet December 24, 1959-January 2, 1960 West Pacific[58]
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 of 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.

Tropical cyclones and airplane crashes

  • Typhoon Wilma - Ten crewmen died when a USAF B-29 crashed during the storm.
  • Hurricane Janet - Two airplanes (one of them a hurricane hunter plane) crashed during the storm.
  • Typhoon Emma - A Hurricane Hunter plane crashed in the Sea of Japan during the storm.
  • Hurricane Betsy - A DC-4 crashed on while delivering supplies after the storm.
  • Unnamed Tropical Storm - A private plane crashed near Hilo Airport, killing one and injuring two.
  • Hurricane Esther - A Navy plane crashed several miles off the coast of Bermuda. Seven of the ten crewmen drowned.
  • Typhoon Bess - A US Air force hurricane hunter plane crashed during the storm. There were no survivors.
  • Hurricane Bess - A Venezuelan Air force plane crashed during the storm while attempting to land. Sixty-eight people died.
  • Tropical Storm Gamma - Three people were killed in a plane crash during Gamma's outer bands.
  • Tropical Storm Sam - A China Airlines (Taiwanese) McDonnell Douglas MD-11 jet (Flight CI642) crash landed at Hong Kong's Chek Lap Kok airport during Tropical Storm Sam. Two died and 206 were injured.
  • Typhoon Xangsane - A Singapore Airlines Boeing 747-400 jet (Flight SQ 006) crashed in typhoon winds and burst into flames on takeoff during Typhoon Xangsane at Taipei international airport, killing 79 and leaving 84 hospitalized.
  • Tropical Storm Alma - In Tegucigalpa, an airplane skidded off a runway sodden by torrential rain, killing seven passengers and injuring over eighty.[59]
