[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon No. 6 (No.197506, historical numbering used before 1981) is a 1975 Northwest Pacific typhoon; peak intensity Tropical Storm, max wind 20m/s, minimum central pressure 985hPa, did not make landfall in China, was stopped being numbered on 1975-08-17, with 31 track points recorded throughout.
Code note: the international numbering system for the Northwest Pacific is assigned by JMA (Japan) (the E-region specialized meteorological center) starting from 1981. This system did not exist in 1975; 197506 is the historical number still used by the CMA. JMA (Japan), the joint typhoon warning center of the USA, and China's meteorological agencies may have used different numbers for the same typhoon in that year, so they cannot be compared directly.
Track data sources: China Meteorological Administration Tropical Cyclone Best Track Dataset (CMA-STI); wind speeds are 2-minute sustained wind speeds.
