[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon JEAN (No.195631, the historical number used before 1981) was a 1956 Northwest Pacific typhoon. It reached super typhoon intensity, with maximum winds of 60 m/s and a minimum central pressure of 940 hPa. It did not make landfall in China. Its numbering ended on October 25, 1956, and 46 track points were recorded throughout its lifetime.
Numbering note: International uniform numbering in the Northwest Pacific has been assigned by the JMA in Japan, the regional specialized meteorological center for East Asia, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1956. The number 195631 is the historical number retained by the CMA. The JMA in Japan, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the United States, and China’s meteorological agencies may have assigned different numbers to the same typhoon that year, so the numbers cannot be directly compared.
