The 1971 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1971, 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 1971 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 Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA. This can often result in the same storm having two names.

Storms

38 tropical depressions formed this year in the Western Pacific, of which 35 became tropical storms. 24 storms reached typhoon intensity, of which 6 reached super typhoon strength. The season had an extremely active start, with 11 storms forming before July 1 and 19 storms before August 1. According to the JMA, three named storms formed in April and eight in July. Those totals are records for any season. Also, four named storms formed in May, a record tied with the 1980 season.[1]

Peak intensity 140 km/h (85 mph) (1-min)  980 hPa (mbar)

On April 23 Tropical Storm Wanda began its life to the east of the Philippines. It tracked over the archipelago, and emerged into the South China Sea on the 25th. It turned to the northwest, and became a typhoon on May 1 just off the coast of Vietnam. The westerlies brought Wanda to the north and northeast, where it weakened until dissipating on the 4th near Hainan Island.

The storm caused 56 deaths (with 14 missing) and $700,000 in damage (1971 USD) from the heavy flooding across the Philippines.[2] While Wanda brushed the coast of Vietnam, the United States Army grounded most aircraft in northern areas and skirmishes related to the Vietnam War temporarily decreased until the storm passed by.[3] In Quảng Ngãi Province, 23 people were killed.[4]

Super Typhoon Amy

Category 5 super typhoon (SSHWS)
Duration April 29 – May 7
Peak intensity 280 km/h (175 mph) (1-min)  890 hPa (mbar)

According to the JTWC best track, Amy was first noted as a tropical depression early on April 29. Amy reached tropical storm status shortly afterwards, and became a typhoon by early on May 1. The cyclone then rapidly intensified into a Category 5 super typhoon with 1-minute sustained winds of 280 km/h (175 mph) on May 2, with the JMA estimating a minimum central pressure of 890 mb (hPa; 26.28 inHg),[5] although the JTWC estimated a slightly higher pressure of 895 mbar (hPa; 26.43 inHg), while noting a compact eye 10 nautical miles across.[6] Although Amy weakened to a Category 4 super typhoon on May 3, it regained Category 5 intensity later that day, with 1-minute sustained winds of 260 km/h (160 mph) and a central pressure of 900 mb (hPa; 26.58 inHg). The storm began to weaken by May 4 and was last noted as producing tropical-storm force winds on May 7,[7] after which Amy was absorbed by a frontal system.[6] Amy was one of the strongest typhoons recorded in May.[8]

On Truk Atoll, now known as Chuuk Atoll, one person was killed after a coconut tree fell on him.[9] On May 18, the Federated States of Micronesia was declared a disaster area by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.[10] The weather station and over 2,250 homes were destroyed on Namonuito Atoll.[6]

Peak intensity 230 km/h (145 mph) (1-min)  925 hPa (mbar)

Across the Philippines, Harriet was responsible for one fatality.[11]

Striking near the demilitarized zone between North and South Vietnam as a powerful typhoon, Harriet caused significant disruptions to the Vietnam War. Military operations on both sides were temporarily halted, with all United States helicopters grounded. Ground movement was severely limited as well. Despite the intensity of the storm, damage was relatively light, with Camp Eagle reporting some roofs blown off from 120 km/h (75 mph) winds.[12] In Đà Nẵng, between 8 to 10 in (200 to 250 mm) of rain fell and strong winds knocked out power to the area.[13] A 24hour maximum rainfall of 10.16 in (258 mm) was measured in Camp Evans. Throughout Vietnam, four people were killed and fourteen others were reported missing. Thừa Thiên Province sustained the most significant damage, with 2,500 homes damaged or destroyed.[11]

Duration July 16 – July 22
Peak intensity 240 km/h (150 mph) (1-min)  910 hPa (mbar)

The strongest typhoon to strike the Philippines that year, this cyclone moved towards the region from the Marianas as a slow pace. Gusty southwest winds impacted western portions of Visayas and Luzon, including Manila, as the cyclone passed by on the 21st. The highest winds recorded were 190 kilometres per hour (100 kn) at Basco in Batanes. Heavy rains caused by the strong onshore flow led to heavy rains, which peaked at 379.5 millimetres (14.94 in) at Baguio City within 24 hours. The heavy rains led to severe flooding and landslides in north-central sections of the Philippines.[14]

Typhoon Mary

Category 1 typhoon (SSHWS)
Duration July 17 – July 20
Peak intensity 150 km/h (90 mph) (1-min)  975 hPa (mbar)

Super Typhoon Nadine (Sisang)

Category 5 super typhoon (SSHWS)
Duration July 20 – July 26
Peak intensity 280 km/h (175 mph) (1-min)  900 hPa (mbar)

Typhoon Nadine, which formed on July 20, quickly strengthened to a peak of 175 mph (282 km/h) on the 24th. It weakened slightly as it continued its northwest movement, and struck eastern Taiwan on the 25th with winds of over 100 mph (200 km/h). Nadine dissipated the next day over China, after causing 28 deaths (with 25 missing) and heavy damage on Taiwan from the flooding. Nadine also caused the crash of a Pan American cargo aircraft, killing all four people in the crew.

Typhoon Olive

Category 2 typhoon (SSHWS)
Duration July 29 – August 5
Peak intensity 155 km/h (100 mph) (1-min)  935 hPa (mbar)

85 mph (137 km/h) Typhoon Olive, which developed on July 29 from the near equatorial trough, hit southwestern Japan on August 4. It continued northward, and became extratropical in the Sea of Japan. Olive's heavy rains resulted in numerous mudslides, killing 69 people. It disrupted the Boy Scout XIII World Jamboree, being held in Japan.

Tropical Storm Polly (Trining)

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
Duration August 4 – August 10
Peak intensity 75 km/h (45 mph) (1-min)  980 hPa (mbar)

Category 4 typhoon (SSHWS)
Duration August 10 – August 17
Peak intensity 220 km/h (140 mph) (1-min)  960 hPa (mbar)
Main article: Typhoon Rose (1971)

A small circulation near Chuuk organized into Tropical Storm Rose on August 10. An extremely small cyclone with a wind field of 150 nautical miles (280 km) across, Rose quickly strengthened, and became a typhoon later that day. It briefly weakened to a tropical storm on the 11th, but restrengthened to a typhoon as it continued westward. On August 13, Typhoon Rose made landfall on northeastern Luzon with winds of 130 mph (210 km/h). It weakened to a minimal typhoon over the mountainous terrain, but in the South China Sea, Rose rapidly intensified, and peaked at 140 mph (230 km/h) winds on the 16th. As it approached the coast of Hong Kong, the inflow became disrupted, but Rose still hit as a 100 mph (200 km/h) typhoon on the 16th. The typhoon dissipated the next day, after causing 130 deaths in Hong Kong and leaving 5,600 people homeless. A Macao ferry was capsized, resulting in the loss of its 88-person crew.

Typhoon Shirley

Category 2 typhoon (SSHWS)
Duration August 12 – August 17
Peak intensity 165 km/h (105 mph) (1-min)  955 hPa (mbar)

Typhoon Trix

Category 3 typhoon (SSHWS)
Duration August 20 – August 30
Peak intensity 185 km/h (115 mph) (1-min)  915 hPa (mbar)

An upper level low contributed to the birth of Tropical Storm Trix on August 20. After drifting northward, the storm turned to the west in response to the building of the subtropical ridge. Trix slowly strengthened after becoming a typhoon on the 21st, and reached a peak of 115 mph (185 km/h) winds on the 28th. Trix recurved, and struck southwestern Japan on the 29th as a 95 mph (153 km/h) typhoon. It accelerated to the northeast, and became extratropical on the 30th. Just weeks after Typhoon Olive, Trix dropped more heavy rain to the country, in one case as much as 43 inches (1,100 mm) of rain. Trix caused 44 deaths, with heavy crop damage amounting to $50.6 million.

Tropical Depression 25W

Severe tropical storm (CMA)
Tropical depression (SSHWS)

Category 3 typhoon (SSHWS)
Duration September 2 – September 7
Peak intensity 185 km/h (115 mph) (1-min)  955 hPa (mbar)

Within one month of Typhoons Trix and Olive, Typhoon Virginia came up the Japanese coast with winds of 80 mph (130 km/h). It became extratropical on September 7 just east of Japan, after dropping more heavy rain causing 56 casualties from numerous landslides.

Super Typhoon Wendy

Category 5 super typhoon (SSHWS)

Typhoon Agnes (Warling)

Category 1 typhoon (SSHWS)
Duration September 15 – September 19
Peak intensity 140 km/h (85 mph) (1-min)  975 hPa (mbar)

Super Typhoon Bess (Yayang)

Category 5 super typhoon (SSHWS)
Duration September 17 – September 23
Peak intensity 260 km/h (160 mph) (1-min)  905 hPa (mbar)

Super Typhoon Bess, having peaked at 160 mph (260 km/h) on July 5, tracked west-northwestward. The typhoon weakened as it continued its movement, and struck eastern Taiwan on the 22nd as a 130 mph (210 km/h) typhoon. It rapidly weakened over the country, and dissipated on the 10th over China. The typhoon caused heavy flooding, resulting in 32 deaths and moderate crop damage.

Tropical Storm Carmen

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
Duration September 24 – September 26
Peak intensity 95 km/h (60 mph) (1-min)  990 hPa (mbar)

Typhoon Della (Ading)

Category 1 typhoon (SSHWS)
Duration September 27 – September 30
Peak intensity 130 km/h (80 mph) (1-min)  980 hPa (mbar)

Typhoon Elaine (Barang)

Category 3 typhoon (SSHWS)
Duration October 1 – October 9
Peak intensity 185 km/h (115 mph) (1-min)  963 hPa (mbar)

Typhoon Faye-Gloria (Krising-Dadang)

Category 1 typhoon (SSHWS)
Duration October 4 – October 13
Peak intensity 120 km/h (75 mph) (1-min)  985 hPa (mbar)

A tropical disturbance east of the Marianas Islands developed into Tropical Storm Faye on October 4. After peaking at 75 mph (121 km/h) on the 5th, Faye became very disorganized, and weakened to a tropical depression on the 7th. At this time, there were several circulations, so it is possible that Faye was absorbed by another disturbance to its south. Regardless, the storm re-organized as it approached the Philippines. Faye crossed the islands on the 10th as a minimal tropical storm, and again became a typhoon in the South China Sea on the 11th. Steering currents became weak, and a northwest flow forced Faye southeastward back into the Philippines. Faye crossed the islands on the 12th, and dissipated on the 13th, after causing torrential rainfall killing 13 people with 80 missing.[2]

Typhoon Hester (Goying)

Category 2 typhoon (SSHWS)
Duration October 18 – October 24
Peak intensity 165 km/h (105 mph) (1-min)  967 hPa (mbar)
Main article: Typhoon Hester (1971)

Developing as a tropical depression on October 18 near Palau Island, Hester gradually intensified as it moved westward towards the Philippines.[15][16] Across the Philippines, Hester was responsible for six deaths and 5 million in damage.[2] After passing over Mindanao and the Visayas as a tropical storm between October 20 and 21, the storm intensified into a typhoon before striking Palawan. Once over the South China Sea, Hester further strengthened and ultimately attained peak winds of 165 km/h (105 mph). On October 23, the storm made landfall near Huế, South Vietnam. Once onshore, Hester rapidly weakened and dissipated on October 24 over Laos.[15][16]

The most significant impact from Typhoon Hester was felt in South Vietnam were winds in excess of 155 km/h (100 mph) caused extensive damage to several United States Army bases. The hardest hit base was in Chu Lai where three Americans were killed. At least 75 percent of the structures in the base sustained damage and 123 aircraft were damaged or destroyed.[15] Newspaper reports indicated that 100 Vietnamese lost their lives due to the storm, including 33 following a plane crash near Quy Nhơn.[17][18] In the wake of the storm, the South Vietnamese government provided the hardest hit areas with relief funds and supplies.[18]

Tropical Depression Hobing

Tropical depression (PAGASA)
