Typhoon: 1945–2026 maps every Western Pacific tropical storm and
typhoon in the Joint Typhoon Warning Center best track, 1945 through the current season,
as published in NOAA's IBTrACS archive. Winds are one-minute sustained values, so the
Saffir-Simpson categories match the sister
Atlantic hurricane platform.

Read The Data Carefully
- The 2025 and 2026 seasons are provisional operational tracks, not final best track.
- Winds from the 1940s through the 1960s are widely considered overestimated.
- "Passed over" lists every country or territory the storm center crossed or came within 40 km of, including inland decay. No death or damage figures are included.
- Storms with no JTWC wind record (mostly before 1945) are not shown.
