[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon IRENE (historical No. 194726, before 1981) was a 1947 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Its peak intensity was tropical storm, with maximum winds of 23 m/s and minimum central pressure of -hPa. It did not make landfall in China and was designated as dissipated on 1947-12-03. Fourteen track points were recorded throughout its lifetime.
Numbering note: International cyclone numbers in the Northwest Pacific have been assigned by the JMA (Japan), the Tokyo Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1947. The number 194726 is a historical identifier used by the CMA. The numbers assigned that year by the JMA (Japan), the JTWC (USA), and China's meteorological authorities for the same typhoon may differ and 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.

FAQ
Which numbered typhoon of 1947 was Typhoon IRENE?
Typhoon IRENE's number 194726 is a historical identifier used by the CMA (1947 No. 26), while its international name was IRENE. International cyclone numbering in the Northwest Pacific did not begin until 1981. Before then, agencies used their own numbering systems, so the numbers assigned by the JMA (Japan), the JTWC (USA), and China's meteorological authorities for the same typhoon may differ and cannot be directly compared.
Where does the track data for Typhoon IRENE come from?
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.
What was the peak intensity of Typhoon IRENE?
Typhoon IRENE peak intensity is Tropical Storm, max wind 23m/s, minimum central pressure - hPa.
Did Typhoon IRENE make landfall?
According to historical records, Typhoon IRENE did not make landfall along China's coast.
