FAQ
Typhoon Kit is the 1960s Typhoon.
Kit’s 196024 is the historical number used by the CMA for the 24th typhoon of 1960, while its international name was KIT. The internationally unified numbering system for the Northwest Pacific did not begin until 1981. Before then, individual agencies used their own numbering systems, so the numbers assigned by JMA, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, and China’s meteorological agencies may differ for the same typhoon and cannot be compared directly.
Where does Typhoon Kit's track data come from?
Track data sources: China Meteorological Administration Tropical Cyclone Best Track Dataset (CMA-STI); wind speeds are 2-minute sustained wind speeds.
What level is the Typhoon Kit strongest?
Typhoon Kit peak intensity is Severe Typhoon, max wind 50m/s, minimum central pressure 960 hPa.
Is there a Typhoon KitLandfall?
According to records, the Typhoon Kit is not in our coastal landfall.
Where can I view typhoon Kit's live track map?
