1860s Pacific typhoon seasons

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from 1862 Pacific typhoon season)

This article encompasses the 1860s Pacific typhoon seasons. The list is very incomplete; information on early typhoon seasons is patchy and relies heavily on individual observations of travellers and ships. There were no comprehensive records kept by a central organisation at this early time.

1862 season

[edit]

A typhoon struck near Hong Kong on July 27, killing around 80,000 people.[1][2]

1863 season

[edit]

Four typhoons struck the Philippines in 1863. One of which, a typhoon in December, killed 49 people.[3]

Several Royal Navy vessels reported a typhoon in the East China Sea that moved northeastward through the Ryukyu Islands and to the west of Kyushu on 15-16 August.[4] The HMS Euryalus reported a pressure of 990.6 mbar (29.25 inHg) in Kagoshima Bay at 4:00 AM on 16 August,[4] while serving as the flagship of Admiral Sir Augustus Kuper during the bombardment of Kagoshima.[5]
