The post-storm best-track value for Typhoon No. 18 differs from the value released live. The live value reflects the storm’s operational position during its active period; after the typhoon ended, the CMA used more complete observational data to produce the final best-track dataset. Academic studies and historical rankings generally use the best-track value. Data sources: CMA Tropical Cyclone Best Track Dataset, compiled from IBTrACS v04r01; wind speeds converted from knots to m/s and rounded.

FAQ
Typhoon 18 was the 1952 Typhoon.
The number 195218 for Typhoon No. 18 is the historical number used by the CMA, meaning the 18th typhoon of 1952. International standardized codes for the Northwest Pacific began in 1981; before then, each agency assigned its own numbers. The numbers assigned by JMA (Japan), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (USA), and China’s meteorological authorities may differ and cannot be directly compared.
Where does the track data for Typhoon No. 18 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 is Typhoon 18?
Typhoon 18 peak intensity is Tropical Storm, max wind 20m/s, minimum central pressure 990 hPa.
Is the Typhoon 18 landfall?
According to records, Typhoon 18 was not in our coastal landfall.
Where can I view Typhoon 18's live track map?
TyphoonSays (taifengshuo.com) provides track history for typhoon 18, forecast comparison, wind range with IntensityTrend, page address: https://taifengshuo.com/typhoon/195218.
What is the maximum sustained wind speed of Typhoon No. 18?
The live Max Wind is 20m/s and the minimum pressure is 990hPa. The CMA post-analysis best-track value is 30m/s and 990hPa, and historical statistics generally use the post-analysis value.
