Pacific typhoon seasons
1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967

The 1965 Pacific typhoon season was an extremely active Pacific typhoon season that had no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1965, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between June and December. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean.

The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, north of the equator and west of the International Date Line. Storms that form east of the date line and north of the equator are called hurricanes; see 1965 Pacific hurricane season. Tropical Storms formed in the entire west pacific basin were assigned a name by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Tropical depressions in this basin have the "W" suffix added to their number. Tropical depressions that enter or form in the Philippine area of responsibility are assigned a name by the Philippine Weather Bureau. This can often result in the same storm having two names.

The season was among the most active Pacific typhoon seasons on record. Between January and December 1965, there was a total of 44 tropical depressions, 35 tropical storms and named systems, 21 typhoons and 11 super typhoons, of which 8 became Category 5 strength on the Saffir-Simpson scale.[1] As a result, the season featured the most super typhoons ever observed in a single year, later tied by the 1997 season.

The 1965 Pacific typhoon season was among the most active Pacific typhoon seasons on record. Between January and December 1965, there was a total of 44 tropical depressions, 35 tropical storms and named systems, 21 typhoons and 11 super typhoons, of which 8 became Category 5 strength on the Saffir-Simpson scale.[1][a] As a result, the season featured the most super typhoons ever observed in a single year, later tied by the 1997 season. The China Meteorological Administration (CMA), Hong Kong Observatory (HKO), Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), and Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) each maintain tropical cyclone databases that include their respective intensity and path analyses for 1965, resulting in disparate storm counts and intensities.[citation needed]

Tropical Depression Atring

Tropical depression (PAGASA)
 
DurationJanuary 16 – January 17
Peak intensity55 km/h (35 mph) (10-min);
1003 hPa (mbar)

A low pressure system was spotted steadily approaching the Philippines on January 15. The next day, on January 16, the disturbance organized into a tropical depression receiving the name Atring via PAGASA. Shortly later, the depression peaked with winds of 55 km/h (34 mph) and pressure levels of 1003 hPa (mbar). The tropical depression collapsed back into an extratropical cyclone after a brief 12 hours and was last tracked by the agency on January 17.[2]

On January 17, a short wave trough fractured off from powerful high lying westerly winds, being accompanied by a subsequent surge in the northeast wind flow.[1]:90 This led to a tropical disturbance being spotted by various agencies nearby Samar. The disturbance meandered in its position, before eventually tracking northward on January 19.[3] Later that day, the disturbance eventually became a tropical storm assigned the name Patsy by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center.[1]:75 Continuing on its mostly northward trajectory, the tropical storm reached it's peak intensity as a Category 1 typhoon on January 20, with winds of 120 km/h (75 mph) and pressure levels as low as 990 hPa (mbar).[3] Upon reaching its peak intensity, Patsy took a sharp turn to the southwest weakening back into a tropical storm. The typhoon made landfall in Luzon as a tropical depression and collapsed into an extratropical cyclone upon crossing the island. The cyclone continued on a mostly southwest trajectory before it dissipated on January 26.[3] The effects of the typhoon are unknown.

A tropical disturbance was spotted by various agencies nearby Micronesia on January 20. Later that day, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center upgraded the disturbance to a tropical depression as it begun moving northwest.[4] On its northwest trajectory, the depression was upgraded to a tropical storm and was assigned the name Ruth, when situated south of Guam.[1]:83 After doing so, the storm started curving towards the west, reaching a primary peak intensity with winds of 85 km/h (53 mph).[4] On January 23, Ruth took a sharp turn to the northeast and slightly weakened in the process. The storm started reintensifying later that same day on its northeast movement, reaching a secondary peak intensity with winds of 110 km/h (68 mph) and pressure levels of 994 hPa.[4] The next day, the tropical storm started to change directory closer to the east as it started weakening. Ruth later started speeding up as it moved further into the central Pacific ocean, where it collapsed into an extratropical cyclone on January 26 and dissipated shortly thereafter.[4]

On April 11, an area of mass divergence at 200 hPa was located, being fed inflow from the Southern Hemisphere at low and mid altitudes.[1]:96 As a result, a low pressure system was promptly identified when situated around Micronesia.[9] A brief 18 hours later, that same day, the system was officially classified as a tropical depression by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, officially noted to drift towards the northwest when doing so. On April 12, after moving mostly west and slightly southward, the depression was upgraded to a tropical storm, promptly receiving the name Wanda.[9][1]:96 The storm gradually moved to the west on its approach towards the Philippines and it started producing slight northward momentum, as it slowly intensified. On April 14, the typhoon reached its peak intensity with winds of 120 km/h (75 mph) and pressure levels of 996 hPa.[9] Quickly after doing so, the typhoon rapidly weakened, collapsing into a tropical storm, and eventually an extratropical cyclone in just 18 hours. The storm moved NNW, then turned to the SW on April 16 and dissipated later that day as it moved over a mid level anticyclonic flow.[9][1]:96

On May 20, a low pressure system was spotted hovering north of Palau.[10] Because of low-to-mid inflow originating from the Southern Hemisphere, this allowed the formation of a tropical depression, promptly classified by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center on May 21.[1]:101 On May 22, the depression was upgraded to a tropical storm, receiving the name Amy. The gradually intensifying system moved somewhat erratically to the northwest when just east of the Philippines, turning to the north on May 23 and then back mostly west later that day.[10] On May 24, near the island of Luzon, Amy took a sharp turn towards the north, later adjusting to move towards the northeast.[10] Early on May 25, the storm was promptly upgraded to a Category 1 typhoon as it started accelerating and deepening.[1]:24 Ultimately, the typhoon began a phase of rapid intensification, where it reached its peak intensity on May 26, with winds of 185 km/h (115 mph) and pressure levels of 976 hPa.[10] Additionally, it was noted that the typhoon, despite being intense, was compact, shallow and very fast moving at this stage.[1]:24 Briefly afterwards, the typhoon began to weaken, where it made a notable landfall near Tokyo as a Category 1 typhoon on May 27.[10] Later that day, the typhoon collapsed into an extratropical cyclone, meandered in an eastward manner in the northern Pacific Ocean and dissipated on May 29.[10]

A surge in the southern hemisphere indraft developed into Tropical Depression 11W on June 12 to the east of the Philippines. It tracked west-northwestward, quickly strengthening to a tropical storm that day and a typhoon on the 13th. Dinah continued to quickly intensify as it turned to the northwest, and attained a peak of 185 mph on the 17th to the northeast of Luzon. Its southerly inflow was cut off, and Dinah weakened as it turned to the north. It hit southern Taiwan on the 18th as a 140 mph typhoon, and weakened greatly over the island to a tropical storm. At this time, Dinah exhibited a rare false radar eye. Dinah turned to the northeast, where it became extratropical near Japan on June 20.

DurationSeptember 25 – October 5
Peak intensity280 km/h (175 mph) (1-min);
900 hPa (mbar)

Bess formed on the 25 September northeast of Pohnpei, Micronesia where it would track east for 18 hours. The next day, the storm would officially be recognized as a tropical depression on the Saffir-Simpson scale whilst moving northwest. Twelve hours later at 6pm, the depression would be upgraded to a tropical storm with barometric pressure of 998 hPa and would be assigned the name Bess by the JTWC.

Once becoming a tropical storm, Bess would start drifting to the east. The storm would reach hurricane-force winds on the 27 September with winds of 120 km/h (75 mph) and would be recognized as a typhoon by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). Bess reached Category 2 winds the next morning at 6am whilst gradually turning to the north. Bess would intensify and hit Category 4 winds exactly a day later on the 29th. Typhoon Bess would hit its peak intensity on the 30th September with 1-minute sustained winds of 280 km/h and barometric pressure of 900 hPa, sustaining it for 36 hours.

On the 1st October, the storm would weaken back into a Category 4 super typhoon and would begin weakening. Bess would become a Category 3 typhoon the next day on the 2nd; starting to move northeast. Another 18 hours later on the next day, the storm would begin rapidly weakening; becoming a Category 1 typhoon just 12 hours later. Unexpectedly on the 4th October, Bess would experience an extreme case of rapid intensification, jumping from winds of 150 to 205 km/h in just 6 hours. This intensity would be short lived as Bess weakened back to a Category 1 typhoon just 12 hours later.

Exactly 18 hours after Bess reached Category 4 intensity, the storm had dropped to winds of 110 km/h; a tropical storm on the Saffir-Simpson scale. Whilst moving to the northeast, the storm continued to weaken, briefly becoming a tropical depression on the 6th October and becoming an extratropical cyclone that same day. The now extratropical cyclone drifted east, passing Russia and then dissipated on the 8th October nearby Alaska.[22][23]

Typhoon Carmen formed from a vortex developing on September 30, 1965, becoming a tropical depression on October 1 near Eniwetok Atoll. It intensified into a tropical storm on October 3 and a typhoon by October 5. Carmen rapidly strengthened, peaking as a Category 5 equivalent super typhoon with winds of 280 km/h (170 mph) and a central pressure of 914 hPa on October 6. Its eye passed over Pagan in the Mariana Islands that day, causing catastrophic damage on Agrihan where all structures and crops were destroyed, forcing permanent evacuation. Carmen maintained peak intensity until October 9, when cold air intrusion began weakening it east of Tokyo. It accelerated northeastward, transitioning to an extratropical cyclone. Carmen weakened further, passing over the Aleutian Islands on October 11 and entering the Gulf of Alaska before dissipating near southeastern Alaska on October 15.[24] The typhoon caused severe impacts, particularly in the Northern Marianas. Before landfall, B-52s evacuated Guam. Agrihan was devastated. A major maritime disaster occurred when Carmen's center passed near Agrihan: seven fishing boats capsized attempting to flee, resulting in 1,290 tons lost, 208 people missing, and only 1 confirmed survivor (with 39 others rescued ashore). Relief efforts, including rebuilding Pagan's airstrip, were initiated.[citation needed]

The Philippine Weather Bureau uses its own naming scheme for tropical cyclones in their area of responsibility. It assigns names to tropical depressions that form within their area of responsibility and any tropical cyclone that might move into their area of responsibility. Should the list of names for a given year prove to be insufficient, names are taken from an auxiliary list, the first 6 of which are published each year before the season starts. Names not retired from this list will be used again in the 1969 season. PWB (and its eventual successor, PAGASA) uses its own naming scheme that starts in the Filipino alphabet, with names of Filipino female names ending with "ng" (A, B, K, D, etc.). Names that were not assigned/going to use are marked in gray.

Notes

[edit]
  1. These metrics are referencing the Saffir-Simpson scale, adding all observed storms by the four standard agencies.
  2. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) estimates the maximum sustained wind of a tropical cyclone has the highest windspeed averaged over one minute, the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) averages such winds over two minutes, and the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) and Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) averages such winds over ten minutes in their historical records.
