It did not make landfall in China, was numbered off on 1974-06-08, and had 11 track points throughout its lifetime.
Code notes: The international typhoon numbering system for the Northwest Pacific was introduced by JMA (Japan), the designated regional specialized meteorological center for East Asia, in 1981. This system did not exist in 1974. 197405 is a historical identifier continued by the CMA, while JMA (Japan), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (USA), and Chinese meteorological agencies may have assigned different numbers to the same typhoon that year, so the identifiers cannot be directly compared.
Track data sources: China Meteorological Administration Tropical Cyclone Best Track Dataset (CMA-STI); wind speeds are 2-minute sustained wind speeds.
