Intensity[edit]

Strongest typhoons[edit]

Typhoon Megi on October 17, the first typhoon to reach a pressure below 900mbar in the 21st century

Some typhoons that reach its maximum intensity below 900mbar occur in major or minor El Niño seasons, for example Typhoon Vanessa in 1984. Typically, typhoons reach their peak strength between August to October. Storms below are listed by the strength, depending on the pressure and winds. Typhoon Tip reached its peak strength in mid-October 1979, with a pressure down to 870millibars, making it the strongest and largest tropical cyclone ever recorded.

Philippines[edit]

Earliest named storms by PAGASA (2001- Current)[edit]

The Philippines has an agency called PAGASA (known as Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomy Services Administraion) name storms which enters or forms within their area of responsibility starting in 1963. However they changed their naming system to both male and female names in 2001, instead of just female names.

Wettest tropical cyclones[edit]

China[edit]

See also: China tropical cyclone rainfall climatology

China is a mountainous country, which leads to rapid dissipation of cyclones that move inland as well as significant amounts of rain from those dissipating cyclones. Typhoon Nina (1975) caused the collapse of two huge reservoirs and ten smaller dams when 1,062 millimetres (41.8 in) fell in Henan Province during a 24‑hour period, which is the record for Mainland China. Typhoon Sam of the 1999 Pacific typhoon season became the wettest known tropical cyclone to impact Hong Kong since records began in 1884, breaking a 73 year old record.[8] Precipitation associated with tropical cyclones and their remains can bring snow to Tibet. An early October 2004 tropical depression brought daily precipitation of 6 centimetres (2.4 in) of liquid equivalent precipitation to Che-Ku county in the form of heavy snow, which was a new October daily precipitation record for both rain and snow. This led to a loss of 340,000 kg of food, 230,000 kg of forage grass, and 263 livestock in the snowstorm.[9]

Japan[edit]

The mountainous island archipelago is constantly struck by typhoons recurving out of the tropics, which are normally in extratropical transition as they pass through Japan. Typhoon Wipha in 2013 produced a 24‑hour total of 824 millimetres (32.4 in) on October 15/16 on Izu Oshima.[19][20] Typhoon Meari/Quinta of the 2004 Pacific typhoon season led to heavy rain at Owase with a total of 741 millimetres (29.2 in) ending at 1500 UTC on the 29th.[21] Typhoon Saomai in 2000 produced record rainfall at Nagoya, 584.2 millimetres (23.00 in) in 24 hours.[22] Fran of the 1976 Pacific typhoon season holds the national 24-hour precipitation record of 1,174 millimetres (46.2 in).[23]
