[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon Forrest (No.198003, the historical numbering used before 1981) was a 1980 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Its peak intensity was severe tropical storm, with maximum winds of 30m/s and a minimum central pressure of 991hPa. It did not make landfall in China, was numbered off on 1980-05-27, and has 33 recorded track points throughout its lifetime.
Numbering note: The internationally unified numbering system for the Northwest Pacific has been assigned by the JMA (Japan), the RSMC for the East Asia region, since 1981. No such system existed in 1980. The number 198003 is the historical number retained by the CMA. In that year, the JMA (Japan), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the USA, and China’s meteorological agencies may have assigned different numbers to the same typhoon, so the numbers cannot be compared directly.
