In the Northwest Pacific, a typhoon that reaches 150 mph (241 km/hr) is called a Super Typhoon. Many buildings destroyed, or structurally damaged beyond repair. Hurricane force winds extend well inland.Ĭategory 5 – 137+ knots (157+ mph 252+ km/h). Severe coastal erosion, with permanent changes to the coastal landscape not unheard of. Complete roof failures on many buildings. Storm surge begins to cause significant damage in beaches and harbors, with small buildings destroyed.Ĭategory 4 – 113-136 knots (130-156 mph 209-251 km/h). Some trees blown down, more extensive limb damage.Ĭategory 3 – 96-112 knots (111-129 mph 178-208 km/h). The main threat to life and property may be flooding from heavy rains.Ĭategory 2 – 83-95 knots (96-110 mph 154-177 km/h). There is no significant damage to buildings. Damage is limited to foliage, signage, unanchored boats and mobile homes. The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane ScaleĬategory 1 – 64-82 knots (74-95 mph 119-153 km/h). In the Atlantic Ocean, East Pacific, Central Pacific (east of the International Dateline) and Southeast Pacific (east of 160☎) a Hurricane in the Northwest Pacific (west of the International Dateline) a Typhoon in the Southwest Pacific (west of 160☎) and Southeast Indian Ocean (east of 90☎) a Severe Tropical Cyclone in the North Indian Ocean a Severe Cyclonic Storm and in the Southwest Indian Ocean (west of 90☎) a Tropical Cyclone. When the winds are sustained (based on a one-minute average) at 74 mph (64 knots 119 km/hr), the storm becomes:
Tropical storms are named in the Atlantic, East, Central and Northwest Pacific, in the South Indian Ocean, and in the Arabian Sea. As the system strengthens, it becomes a tropical storm with winds from 39 to 73 mph (35-63 knots 63-118 km/hr). RADIUS OF 034 KT WINDS - 075 NM NORTHEAST QUADRANTĪ hurricane (or typhoon, or severe tropical cyclone), the strongest storm on Earth, is a cyclonic (rotary) storm that derives its energy from cloud formation and rainfall, unlike frontal cyclones that derive their power from a temperature gradient.Ī hurricane begins as a tropical depression with a sustained wind speed of less than 39 mph (35 knots 63 km/hr). RADIUS OF 050 KT WINDS - 030 NM NORTHEAST QUADRANT RADIUS OF 064 KT WINDS - 020 NM NORTHEAST QUADRANT MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 075 KT, GUSTS 090 KT MOVEMENT PAST SIX HOURS - 275 DEGREES AT 19 KTS MAX SUSTAINED WINDS BASED ON ONE-MINUTE AVERAGE TYPHOON 12W (HINNAMNOR) WARNING NR 005Ġ1 ACTIVE TROPICAL CYCLONE IN NORTHWESTPAC
