It was designated offline on 1960-08-25, with 46 track points recorded throughout its lifetime.
Numbering note: The unified international numbering system for the Northwest Pacific was introduced in 1981 by JMA in Japan, the designated regional specialized meteorological center for East Asia. It did not exist in 1960. The number 196014 is the historical number retained by the CMA. JMA in Japan, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the United States, and Chinese meteorological agencies may have assigned different numbers to the same typhoon that year, so these cannot be compared directly.
