[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon Iris (No.196202, a historical number used before 1981) was a 1962 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Its peak intensity was typhoon, with maximum winds of 35 m/s and a minimum central pressure of 990 hPa. It did not make landfall in China. It was last numbered on 1962-05-31, with 24 track points recorded throughout its lifetime.
Numbering note: The international numbering system for the Northwest Pacific has been operated by JMA (Japan), the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center for East Asia, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1962, so 196202 is a historical identifier used by the CMA. The numbers assigned that year by JMA (Japan), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (USA), and China’s meteorological authorities to the same typhoon may differ and cannot be compared directly.
