[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon DOT (No.195509, the historical numbering used before 1981) was a 1955 Northwest Pacific typhoon. It peaked as a typhoon, with maximum winds of 35 m/s and a minimum central pressure of 995 hPa. It did not make landfall in China. Its numbering ended on 1955-07-17, with 17 track points recorded throughout.
Numbering note: International numbering for Northwest Pacific typhoons has been assigned by the JMA, the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center for East Asia, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1955, and 195509 is the historical number retained by the CMA. The JMA, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the United States, and China's meteorological authorities may have assigned different numbers to the same typhoon that year, so the numbers cannot be directly compared.
