Code notes: The international uniform numbering system for the Northwest Pacific has been assigned by the JMA (Japan), the Tokyo Regional Specialized Meteorological Center, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1956; 195606 is the historical number used by the CMA. The JMA (Japan), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center of the USA, and China’s meteorological authorities may have assigned different numbers to the same typhoon in that year, so the numbers cannot be compared directly.
Track data sources: China Meteorological Administration Tropical Cyclone Best Track Dataset (CMA-STI); wind speeds are 2-minute sustained wind speeds.
