[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon FLO (No.194811, the historical numbering before 1981) was a 1948 Northwest Pacific typhoon; peak intensity: severe tropical storm, maximum wind: 25 m/s, minimum central pressure: -hPa, no landfall in China, numbered off on 1948-08-23, with 13 track points recorded throughout its lifetime.
Numbering note: uniform international numbering for the Northwest Pacific has been assigned by the JMA (Japan), the regional specialized meteorological center for East Asia, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1948. The identifier 194811 is the historical number continued by the CMA. The JMA (Japan), the USA Joint Typhoon Warning Center, and China's meteorological authorities may have assigned different numbers to the same typhoon that year, so the numbers 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.
