[Quick Archive Overview]Typhoon Orchid (No. 198013, the historical number used before 1981) was a 1980 Northwest Pacific typhoon. It reached typhoon intensity, with maximum winds of 35 m/s and a minimum central pressure of 960 hPa. It did not make landfall in China and was discontinued on 1980-09-12. Its full track contains 25 points.
Numbering note: International cyclone numbering in the Northwest Pacific has been assigned by the JMA in Japan, the designated regional specialized meteorological center for East Asia, since 1981. This system did not exist in 1980, so 198013 is the historical number retained by the CMA. The numbers assigned that year by the JMA in Japan, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the USA, and China’s meteorological agencies may differ and cannot be matched directly.
