Its peak intensity was severe tropical storm, with maximum winds of 25m/s and a minimum central pressure of -hPa. It did not make landfall in China and was numbered off on 1945-08-13, with 17 track points recorded throughout its lifetime.
Numbering note: International typhoon numbers in the Northwest Pacific have been assigned by the JMA, the designated regional specialized meteorological center for East Asia, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1945. The number 194511 is a historical identifier used by the CMA. The JMA, Joint Typhoon Warning Center, and China’s meteorological agencies may have assigned different numbers to the same typhoon that year, so they cannot be directly compared.
Track data source: USA Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) best-track data. China Meteorological Administration best-track dataset begins in 1949 and does not include this typhoon. JTWC wind speeds are 1-min sustained wind speeds, generally about 10% higher than the 2-min sustained wind speeds used in China.
