[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon Billie (No. 195901, a historical number used before 1981) was a 1959 Northwest Pacific typhoon. It peaked as a severe typhoon, with maximum winds of 45 m/s and a minimum central pressure of 968 hPa. It did not make landfall in China, and its record was discontinued on 1959-07-20, with 46 track points documented throughout its lifetime.
Numbering system: International numbering in the Northwest Pacific is assigned by the JMA, the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center for East Asia, beginning in 1981. This system did not exist in 1959, so 195901 is a historical number retained by the CMA. The JMA, 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 they 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.
