[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon NORMA (No.194819, a historical sequence number used before 1981) was a 1948 Northwest Pacific typhoon; peak intensity: severe tropical storm, maximum wind: 25m/s, minimum central pressure: -hPa, no landfall in China, numbering ended on 1948-10-12, with 7 track points recorded throughout its lifetime.
Numbering system: the unified international numbering system for the Northwest Pacific has been implemented by the JMA (Japan), the regional specialized meteorological center for East Asia, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1948. 194819 is the historical sequence number used by the CMA; the JMA (Japan), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (USA), and China’s meteorological agencies may have assigned different sequence 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.

FAQ
Which numbered typhoon of 1948 was Typhoon NORMA?
The 194819 designation for Typhoon NORMA is the historical sequence number used by the CMA (the 19th typhoon of 1948). Its international name was NORMA. The unified international numbering system for the Northwest Pacific did not begin until 1981; before then, the JMA (Japan), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (USA), and China’s meteorological agencies each used their own numbering systems. The sequence numbers assigned to the same typhoon may therefore differ and cannot be directly compared.
Where does the track data for Typhoon NORMA 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 NORMA?
Typhoon NORMA peak intensity is Severe Tropical Storm, max wind 25m/s, minimum central pressure - hPa.
Did Typhoon NORMA make landfall?
According to historical records, Typhoon NORMA did not make landfall along China's coast.
