[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon VIOLA (No.195809, a historical number used before 1981) was a 1958 Northwest Pacific typhoon. It peaked as a super typhoon, with maximum winds of 60m/s and a minimum central pressure of 964hPa, did not make landfall in China, was removed from the numbering system on 1958-07-17, and has 39 recorded track points throughout its lifetime.
Numbering note: The unified international 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 1958. The number 195809 is a historical identifier retained by the CMA. In 1958, the JMA (Japan), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (USA), and China’s meteorological authorities may have assigned different numbers to the same typhoon, so the numbers cannot be compared directly.
