[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon No. 5 (No.194605, a historical identifier used before 1981) was a 1946 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Its peak intensity was typhoon, with maximum winds of 41m/s and minimum central pressure of -hPa. It did not make landfall in China. It was decommissioned on 1946-07-02, with 10 track points recorded throughout its lifetime.
Code note: The international unified code for the Northwest Pacific has been assigned by JMA (Japan), the E-region specialized meteorological center, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1946. 194605 is a historical identifier continued by the CMA. JMA (Japan), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, USA, and China’s meteorological authorities may have assigned different identifiers to the same typhoon that year, so they cannot be compared directly.
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.
