Its number was retired on 1957-09-10, with 60 track points recorded throughout its lifetime.
Numbering note: Uniform international numbering for the Northwest Pacific has been assigned by the JMA in Japan, the Tokyo Regional Professional Meteorological Centre, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1957. The identifier 195715 is the historical number used by the CMA. The JMA in Japan, 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 their numbers cannot be compared directly.
