Tropical Storm Babe
The name Babe has been used for one tropical cyclone in the Atlantic Ocean and six tropical cyclones in the northwest Pacific Ocean.
Babe was used for one tropical cyclone in the Atlantic Ocean. Due to the relatively minimal damage caused by the storm, the name Babe was not retired; however, after male names were added to the list of Atlantic hurricane names, Babe was removed and has not been used to name a storm since.
Babe was also used for six tropical cyclones in the Western Pacific:
- Tropical Storm Babe (1962) (T6218, 67W), landfall on the central Vietnam coast
- Typhoon Babe (1965) (T6507, 09W)
- Tropical Storm Babe (1967) (T6732, 33W)
- Tropical Storm Babe (1971) (T7106, 06W)
- Tropical Storm Babe (1974) (T7403, 03W)
- Typhoon Babe (1977) (T7709, 10W, Miling), Category 4 Super typhoon; the minimum sea-level pressure in Japanese land of 907.3hPa was recorded by Babe at Okinoerabu Island
Hurricane Babe and Typhoon Babe existed at the same time in September, 1977.
