It peaked as a severe tropical storm, with maximum winds of 30 m/s and a minimum central pressure of 992 hPa. It did not make landfall in China. Its numbering was discontinued on 1974-01-13, with 19 track points recorded throughout its lifetime.
Numbering note: The international numbering system for the Northwest Pacific has been assigned by the JMA (Japan), the regional specialized meteorological center for East Asia, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1974. The identifier 197401 is the historical number retained by the CMA, and the numbers assigned that year by the JMA (Japan), the USA Joint Typhoon Warning Center, and China's meteorological authorities may differ and cannot be compared directly.
