[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon Wanda (No. 197102, the historical number used before 1981) was a 1971 Northwest Pacific typhoon. It peaked as a typhoon, with maximum winds of 35 m/s and a minimum central pressure of 976 hPa. It did not make landfall in China and was decommissioned on 1971-05-04, with 49 track points recorded throughout its lifetime.
Numbering note: The unified international numbering system for the Northwest Pacific has been used by the JMA in Japan, the designated regional specialized meteorological center for East Asia, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1971. The number 197102 is the historical identifier used by the CMA, while the JMA in Japan, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the United States, and China’s meteorological agencies may have assigned different numbers to the same typhoon that year, so they cannot be compared directly.
