Its final advisory was issued on 1957-07-17, with 27 track points recorded throughout its lifetime.
Code explanation: The internationally unified numbering system for the Northwest Pacific has been operated by JMA (Japan), the specialized regional meteorological center for East Asia, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1957. The identifier 195708 is the historical number used by the CMA. JMA (Japan), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the USA, and Chinese meteorological agencies may have assigned different numbers to the same typhoon that year, so these 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.
