[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon No. 8 (No.195208, the historical numbering used before 1981) was a 1952 Northwest Pacific typhoon. It peaked as a typhoon, with maximum winds of 40 m/s and a minimum central pressure of 980 hPa. It did not make landfall in China, was numbered off on 1952-07-31, and has 30 track points throughout its lifetime.
Code notes: The international standardized typhoon numbering system for the Northwest Pacific was introduced by JMA (Japan), the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center for East Asia, in 1981. No such system existed in 1952. 195208 is the historical number retained by CMA. JMA (Japan), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (USA), and China’s meteorological authorities may have assigned different numbers to the same typhoon that year, so the numbers cannot be directly compared.
