Which year has the biggest typhoon?

As of August, 20021,the strongest typhoon in history was Taipei, which landed in Japan on 1979 (at the peak, the wind force in the center of Taipei was estimated to be 306 kilometers per hour).

Typhoon Taipei (English: TyphoonTip) is the most comprehensive tropical cyclone in the world on record. It originated from the disturbed weather caused by the monsoon trough near Pengbei Island on June 4th, 65438, and was the typhoon season of 19 and 12 in June 1979 in the Pacific Ocean.

At first, the development and movement of Taipei was adversely affected by the northwest tropical storm, but after the storm moved northward, Taipei was strengthened. After passing through Guam, the cyclone intensified explosively, reaching the highest intensity of wind speed of 305 kilometers per hour on June 12, and the sea level pressure was as low as 870 millibars (hectopascals, 25.69 inches of mercury), setting a new world record.

The US Air Force Meteorological Bureau sent 60 reconnaissance planes into Taipei to perform observation tasks, so this typhoon became one of the tropical cyclones with the closest observation time.

The US Marine Corps training camp in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, was indirectly triggered by Taipei, resulting in 13 deaths and 68 disasters. In other parts of the country, typhoons also caused extensive floods, resulting in 42 deaths, many ships sinking at sea and at least 44 deaths or missing.
