1964 North Indian Ocean cyclone season
The 1964 Pacific typhoon season was the most active tropical cyclone season recorded globally, with a total of 39 tropical storms forming. It had no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1964, 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.
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.
Notable storms include Typhoon Joan, which killed 16,000 people in Vietnam, mostly from catastrophic flooding; Typhoon Louise, which killed 570 people in the Philippines, Typhoons Sally and Opal, which both peaked at 1-minute sustained speeds of 195 mph, Typhoons Flossie and Betty, which both struck the city of Shanghai, China, and Typhoon Ruby, which hit Hong Kong as a powerful Category 4 storm, killing over 700 and becoming the second worst typhoon to affect Hong Kong.
Season summary
From the summer of 1964 until the end of spring 1965, the La Niña phase remained weak. In the year following the end of La Niña, the unofficial number of recorded super typhoons reached a record high of 11. This indicates that 1964 and 1965 were the years with the most intense low-pressure systems and storm activity ever-record documented in the Northwest Pacific region, as well as across the entire basin.El Niño and La Niña Years and Intensities ggweather https://ggweather.com/enso/oni.htm Jan Null, CCM November 30, 2025 2025

A recommendation was made at the 20th session of the United Nations Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East (now known as the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific [ESCAP]) in March 1964 for the United Nations Secretariat and World Meteorological Organization to investigate the feasibility of a multinational program for monitoring typhoons.Yu Jixin Liu Jinping Review of ESACP/WMO Typhoon Committee Development in Past 50 Years Tropical Cyclone Research and Review February 2018 7 1 1 10.6057/2018TCRR01.01 free The Shanghai Typhoon Institute of China Meteorological Administration 2018TCRR....7....1Y This led to the formation of the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee, which held its inaugural session in 1968.The Committee Chronology – 1964-1968 http://www.typhooncommittee.org/1964-1968/ ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee 2020-11-19 2018-11-29 https://web.archive.org/web/20181129121736/http://www.typhooncommittee.org/1964-1968/ dead Prior to the inception of the Typhoon Committee, the United States Indo-Pacific Command had designated the U.S. Fleet Weather Central in Guam as the JTWC in May 1959. The JTWC was tasked with warning U.S. government agencies on tropical cyclones in the northwestern Pacific, in addition to researching and orchestrating aircraft reconnaissance into such storms.i Boeing B-47 Stratojets were deployed from the 54th Weather Reconnaissance Squadron to carry out airborne reconnaissance.11 The JTWC issued 730 warnings on 26 typhoons, 14 tropical storms, and 5 tropical depressions. The number of typhoons was a new record, topping the 24 set in 1962.47 Ten of these occurred in the South China Sea, compared to the annual average of 3.2 in the five years preceding 1964.

In May 1964, the western Pacific was characterized by anomalously high geopotential heights towards the northern part of the basin and low geopotential heights in the tropical regions. This configuration was favorable for tropical cyclogenesis and led to the development of typhoons Tess and Viola, the first storms of the 1964 typhoon season.Green Raymond A.

Subtropical ridging in the Pacific was extended zonally throughout the month, resulting in strong easterly winds in the subtropical latitudes and providing conducive conditions for storm development. The extensive ridging also prevented most of September's storms from taking curved paths into the westerlies; while approximately half of September typhoons curve into the westerlies on average, only one typhoon, Wilda, took such a trajectory in 1964.Green Raymond A.

The first tropical cyclone of 1964 developed from a segment of the polar trough. A wind circulation was first identified near Woleai by the JTWC on May 9. This initial disturbance traveled west-northwest, passing near Ulithi and Yap.72 On May 14, it organized further into a tropical depression and took an erratic track over the next four days, including a looping course.1964 Typhoon TESS (1964133N10134) IBTrACS – International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship http://www.atms.unca.edu/ibtracs/ibtracs_v04r00/index.php?name=v04r00-1964133N10134 University of North Carolina–Asheville June 12, 2020 Asheville, North Carolina 2018 November 28, 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20201128101258/http://www.atms.unca.edu/ibtracs/ibtracs_v04r00/index.php?name=v04r00-1964133N10134 dead 50,74 During this process, it strengthened into a tropical storm, weakened to a tropical depression, and reattained tropical storm intensity before heading on an east-northwestward to northeastward trajectory.74 On May 19, a reconnaissance flight investigating Tess observed two eyes: the first and innermost eye measured 9.7 km mi on across while the second was asymmetrical, with axes roughly 23 and 14 km mi on across.75 Shortly after finding this feature, Tess was estimated to have attained typhoon status.
Tess tracked towards the northeast after reaching typhoon intensity. Its center passed between Alamagan and Guguan on May 20 while maximum sustained winds in the typhoon were 140 km/h mph on. Farther southeast, in Guam, the passing storm produced 52 mm in on of rain.Weir Robert C.

Three days later, the system organized into a tropical depression after the JTWC identified a surface wind circulation.81 Viola reached tropical storm strength on May 25 and then curved northwest, strengthening further into a typhoon on May 27 and peaking in strength with winds of 130 km/h mph on. These winds diminished to 110 km/h mph on—just under typhoon intensity—as Viola made landfall approximately 160 km mi on west of Hong Kong at 03:00 UTC on May 28.74 The storm weakened over mainland China and dissipated on May 30.

Typhoon Cora developed from the interaction of a polar trough with an easterly tropical wave.103 A wind circulation materialized from this interaction on July 4 west of Chuuk State.104 On July 6, it organized into a tropical depression southwest of Guam,75 prompting the JTWC to initiate warnings.104 Intensification was rapid upon developing, with Cora becoming a typhoon by the end of July 6. Two days later, Cora attained sustained winds of 260 km/h mph on as it approached the central Philippines on a westward heading, according to the JTWC;75 this classified Cora as a super typhoon. The eye spanned 6 mi km on across at this juncture.105 Two consecutive airborne reconnaissance missions into the storm estimated that winds near the surface were around 325 km/h mph on. However, this value was discordant with the 130 km/h mph on winds occurring at flight level and a surface air pressure of 970 hPa (mbar; 28.64 inHg) estimated by the flights and by the JTWC. An analysis of the historical tropical cyclone record for the West Pacific published in the Monthly Weather Review concluded that there was "sufficient evidence" that the winds in storms like Cora were "likely overestimated."Knapp Kenneth R.

The origins of Typhoon Ida were associated with the interaction between a polar trough and a tropical wave, which resulted in the development of a tropical disturbance south of Chuuk State on August 1.134 The disturbance became a tropical depression roughly (300 mi) southeast of Guam on August 2 and strengthened into a tropical storm later that day. Tracking towards the west-northwest, Ida reached typhoon intensity on August 4. According to the JTWC, Ida reached its peak intensity with maximum winds of 250 km/h mph on and a central pressure of 925 hPa (mbar; 27.31 inHg).1964 Super Typhoon IDA (1964215N07150) IBTrACS – International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship http://ibtracs.unca.edu/index.php?name=v04r00-1964215N07150 University of North Carolina–Asheville June 24, 2020 Asheville, North Carolina 2018 November 27, 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20201127230912/http://ibtracs.unca.edu/index.php?name=v04r00-1964215N07150 dead Between August 6–7, Ida moved across northern Luzon with these winds. The storm weakened over the island but restrengthened over the South China Sea on approach to Hong Kong. The center of the storm passed 65 km mi on southwest of Hong Kong and made its final landfall on Guangdong Province China on August 8 as a typhoon with winds of 150 km/h mph on as estimated by Royal Observatory Hong Kong.

Tropical Storm June began south of Guam as a disturbance on August 9. Traveling west-northwest, it became a tropical depression by the time aircraft reconnaissance first reached the system on August 10. Later that day, June attained a tropical storm and reached its peak intensity with winds of 75 km/h mph on. The storm held this intensity for a day before weakening as it neared Luzon contrary to forecasts projecting June to become a typhoon.1964 Tropical Storm JUNE (1964222N10144) IBTrACS – International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship http://ibtracs.unca.edu/index.php?name=v04r00-1964222N10144 University of North Carolina–Asheville June 25, 2020 Asheville, North Carolina 2018 November 27, 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20201127180328/http://ibtracs.unca.edu/index.php?name=v04r00-1964222N10144 dead Typhoon Developing https://www.newspapers.com/clip/54127495/ Newspapers.com June 25, 2020 Des Moines Register Associated Press August 12, 1964 Des Moines, Iowa 9 The JTWC issued their last warning on the system on August 11 and considered the system to have dissipated two days later when it was north of Luzon and east of Batan Island.63 However, data from the CMA and JMA indicates that June persisted as a tropical depression into the South China Sea and took a looping course near Hainan and the Leizhou Peninsula. It then turned northeast and dissipated near the Taiwan Strait on August 18.

According to the JTWC, Kathy was both the largest and longest-lived typhoon in 1964, with the agency issuing warnings for 13.5 days and the storm's circulation reaching a diameter of 1575 km mi on.59 The interaction of a polar trough and easterly wave led to the genesis of a vortex southeast of Japan by August 11.141 This system developed into a tropical storm the next day east of Iwo Jima based on ship observations.1964 Super Typhoon KATHY (1964224N25161) IBTrACS – International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship http://ibtracs.unca.edu/index.php?name=v04r00-1964224N25161 University of North Carolina–Asheville June 25, 2020 Asheville, North Carolina 2018 January 26, 2022 https://web.archive.org/web/20220126151352/http://ibtracs.unca.edu/index.php?name=v04r00-1964224N25161 dead 76 Maintaining a west-northwestward heading, Kathy reached typhoon strength on August 13, passing well south of Tokyo on approach towards the Ryukyu Islands.Typhoon By-Passes Tokyo https://www.newspapers.com/clip/54128142/ Newspapers.com June 25, 2020 The Indianapolis News United Press International August 15, 1964 Indianapolis, Indiana 1Japan Area Has Strong Winds https://www.newspapers.com/clip/54128423/ Newspapers.com June 25, 2020 Hawaii Tribune-Herald Associated Press 226 42 August 16, 1964 Hilo, Hawaii 1 The typhoon's winds peaked at 165 km/h mph on on August 14 before tapering as the storm curved towards the west-southwest.76 For the next four days, Kathy and nearby Typhoon Marie began a Fujiwhara interaction, causing both storms to rotate around one another, ending when Marie was absorbed into Kathy's circulation.50 Between August 15–16, Kathy briefly fell to tropical storm intensity before regaining typhoon status southeast of Amami Ōshima. During this period, an airplane investigating the storm identified multiple wind circulations at the center of Kathy and the storm's clouds were asymmetric.Fett Robert W.

The storm's west-southwest path brought the center across the Ryukyu Islands and near Okinawa on August 16 as Kathy began to execute a counterclockwise loop in its track. Two days later, Kathy's winds were estimated by the JTWC to be around 215 km/h mph on near Minamidaitōjima. The typhoon's track made a smaller counterclockwise loop on August 20 before resuming north across the northern Ryukyu Islands. On August 23, Kathy made landfall on Kagoshima Prefecture with winds of 130 km/h mph on and weakened to a tropical storm as it crossed the Seto Inland Sea and southern Honshu. It then curved to the northeast, briefly entering the Sea of Japan and crossing the Noto Peninsula before traversing northern Honshu and emerging into the northern Pacific.76 On August 25, Kathy transitioned into an extratropical cyclone and continued northeast towards the Aleutian Islands before it was last in the Bering Strait on September 1.76
According to the publication Climatological Data, Kathy caused at least 13 deaths and "numerous" injuries, with landslides and flooding being the principal cause of the casualties; as much as 700 mm in on of rain was documented in the mountainous regions of Kyushu, though cities averaged 100 m in on in rainfall accumulations.Typhoon Hits Japan https://www.newspapers.com/clip/54195735/ Newspapers.com June 26, 2020 The Brandon Sun Associated Press 183 August 24, 1964 Brandon, Manitoba 176 United Press International reported as many as 24 fatalities and 8 missing persons associated with the typhoon,Typhoon Hits Jap Island https://www.newspapers.com/clip/54195316/ Newspapers.com June 26, 2020 The Desert Sun United Press International 17 38 August 24, 1964 Palm Springs, California 2Killer Typhoon Rakes Three Japan Islands https://www.newspapers.com/clip/54196214/ Newspapers.com June 26, 2020 Honolulu Advertiser United Press International 54497 August 25, 1964 Honolulu, Hawaii 7 with the Associated Press documenting 28 injuries.Typhoon Now Tropical Storm https://www.newspapers.com/clip/54197077/ Newspapers.com June 26, 2020 The Tampa Times Associated Press 172 August 25, 1964 Tampa, Florida 6 Over 4,000 people were rendered homeless.

The precursor disturbance to Tilda was identified northwest of Guam using the Automatic Picture Transmission system during the 10-day operational lifespan of the Nimbus 1 satellite.14 The initial vortex that became Tilda formed by September 12 and organized into a tropical depression by September 13.17776 Tilda's winds reached typhoon intensity on September 14. Its center passed over the Bataan Islands the same day before moving west into the South China Sea.76 According to the JTWC, Tilda's one-minute maximum sustained winds crested at 165 km/h mph on before their speeds began to decrease. On September 16, the center of Tilda passed 95 km/h (60 mi) south of Hong Kong.76 Tilda's close pass of Hong Kong prompted the hoisting of storm signals to warn ships and small craft,Hong Kong Braces for Typhoon Tilda https://www.newspapers.com/clip/55410069/ July 15, 2020 Wilkes-Barre Record Associated Press September 15, 1964 Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania Newspapers.com with the Royal Observatory escalating its warnings to typhoon signal no. 3.

Tropical Storm Billie began southwest of Guam on September 24. The JTWC detected the system based on surface observations the next day while the system was centered 480 km mi on southwest of Guam. Billie reached tropical storm intensity on September 27 as it moved west. While the system may have degenerated into an open trough of low-pressure on September 28 amid strong easterly winds, it quickly reorganized and strengthened further before tracking across southern Luzon from Catanduanes to just south of Manila with winds of 85 km/h mph on. Bille emerged into the South China Sea thereafter, where its winds topped out at 110 km/h mph on. The center of the tropical storm passed south of Hainan on September 30 and made landfall on Vietnam on October 1. Billie had already begun to weaken on approach to land but diminished further once over Southeast Asia; the storm and its remnants continued tracking west into Myanmar before dissipating on October 3.53
Sixteen people were killed by floods triggered by Billie's rains in Camarines Sur. The torrents destroyed homes and left 10,000 families homeless. Flooding swept away a bridge along a railroad of the Philippine National Railways, causing a passenger car to derail; one person was injured.

Continuing to intensify, Clara curved west over the central Philippine Sea on October 3 and strengthened into a typhoon the next day according to data from the JTWC. Clara's winds topped out at 150 km/h mph on as it made landfall on the coast of Aurora at Dilasac Bay on October 5.77 Warnings were raised for Clara across parts of eight Filipino provinces ahead of the storm's approach.Typhoon Strikes North Luzon https://www.newspapers.com/clip/62988523/ Newspapers.com November 10, 2020 Akron Beacon Journal Associated Press 174 October 5, 1964 Akron, Ohio
Clara weakened over Luzon but remained a typhoon upon emerging into the South China Sea, where it eventually reattained one-minute sustained winds of 150 km/h mph on. Tracing a path similar to Tropical Storm Billie a week prior, the center of Clara passed south of Hainan on October 7. The storm weakened within the Gulf of Tonkin and struck Vietnam north of Đồng Hới on October 8 with one-minute sustained winds estimated at 85 km/h mph on by the JTWC.

Dot originated from the interaction of a trough of low-pressure and a tropical wave west of Pohnpei in early October.205 Aircraft reconnaissance first encountered the system on October 6, finding a developing tropical storm 160 km mi on southwest of Yap.77 Dot traveled on a west-northwestward heading and curved gradually towards the northwest, becoming a typhoon on October 9. Dot then curved towards the west and made landfall on northern Luzon the following day with one-minute sustained winds of 130 km/h mph on.77 The storm continued to strengthen once it emerged into the South China Sea, and reached its peak intensity with one-minute sustained winds of approximately 165 km/h mph on on October 11. Dot then curved slowly northward and moved ashore China just east of Hong Kong on October 13 at largely the same intensity.Typhoon Dot https://www.hko.gov.hk/en/informtc/no10/dot.htm Hong Kong Observatory November 11, 2020 Hong Kong, China November 27, 201977 The storm then quickly weakened inland, transitioning into an extratropical cyclone on October 15 and curving northeast back into the Pacific before it was last noted off Japan on October 19.
Dot was the fifth typhoon in 1964 to hit Hong Kong.77 Its proximity to the Crown colony led to the issuance of tropical cyclone signal no. 10 from the Royal Observatory and forced the suspension of public transportation and incoming flights.34 Dead, 70 Hurt As Typhoon Dot Batters Hong Kong https://www.newspapers.com/clip/63133383/ Newspapers.com November 12, 2020 The Sydney Morning Herald Australian Associated Press 39570 October 14, 1964 Sydney, Australia 3Typhoon Dot Toll Hits 22 https://www.newspapers.com/clip/63132778/ Newspapers.com November 12, 2020 The Daily Oklahoman Reuters 283 73 October 14, 1964 Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 5 The Royal Observatory recorded 331.2 mm of rain and gales for eight consecutive hours.Woon-Pui Kwong Tropical Cyclone Rainfall in Hong Kong https://www.hko.gov.hk/en/publica/tn/files/tn038.pdf Hong Kong Observatory November 11, 2020 Hong Kong, China 58 April 1974 At Tate's Cairn, a maximum wind gust of 220 km/h mph on was measured.

Tropical Storm Georgia was first observed as a tropical depression 360 km mi on south-southwest of Guam on October 17. The nascent cyclone did not organize further, with aircraft reconnaissance unable to locate the storm's central vortex. However, the system became more pronounced on October 20 as it tracked towards the west-northwest, and became a tropical storm on October 21 near the Philippines. At around 06:00 UTC on October 21, Georgia made landfall on Luzon at Lamon Bay and passed north of Manila; one-minute sustained winds associated with the storm at the time were around 65 km/h mph on. It then crossed into the South China Sea where intensification continued as the Georgia's one-minute sustained winds reached 85 km/h mph on. The tropical storm passed south of Hainan and made landfall on Vietnam near Vinh on October 23, after which it dissipated.

Typhoon Hope originated around October 21 near the island of Pohnpei, tracking west at tropical depression intensity for three days. On October 24, when it was west of Guam, the JTWC upgraded the system to tropical storm status based on aerial observations of the system.77 Hope continued to track west before curving north on October 25 towards an eventually northeastward track. On October 27, Hope became a typhoon northwest of the Bonin Islands as it accelerated northeast.77 This intensification was attributed to the instrusion of colder air into the typhoon's circulation, causing a surge of winds in the lower levels of the atmosphere during a relatively short timeframe.Brand Samson Guard Charles P.

The typhoon gradually weakened thereafter, but continued to produce strong winds and waves 8.2 m ft on high. On October 29, the storm weakened to tropical storm strength and later transitioned into an extratropical cyclone. The extratropical cyclone intensified on approach to the central Aleutian Islands and later became part of a broader cyclonic system within the Bering Sea.78

On November 1, the JTWC began monitoring a tropical disturbance over the South China Sea, near the western Philippines. The following day, the system quickly organized as it moved in a general eastward direction. During the afternoon, the JTWC issued their first advisory on the system, immediately declaring it Tropical Storm Iris. After briefly taking a northeasterly track, Iris turned towards the southeast and reconnaissance planes recorded a developing eyewall. The following day, the a pressure of 1000 mbar (hPa) was recorded in the center of the storm; however, this reading was not taken at the storm's highest intensity. On November 4, Iris intensified into a minimal typhoon, attaining winds of 120 km/h mph onJoint Typhoon Warning Center United States Navy 1965 March 11, 2010 Typhoon 43W (Iris) Best Track http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/best_tracks/1964/1964s-bwp/bwp331964.txt October 10, 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20121010110401/http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/best_tracks/1964/1964s-bwp/bwp331964.txt dead and featured a circular 18 mi km on wide eye.

Similar to the formation of Tropical Storm Iris, Tropical Storm Joan originated from a tropical disturbance over the western South China Sea on November 5. Tracking eastward, the system quickly organized and was immediately declared a tropical storm on November 6. Early the next day, a reconnaissance plane recorded a pressure of 1000 mbar (hPa), the lowest in relation to Joan; however, this was measured while the system was a minimal tropical storm. Continued development took place over the following day as a well-defined wall cloud developed within the system. Joan attained typhoon intensity during the afternoon of November 8 and reached its peak intensity with winds of 130 km/h mph on shortly thereafter.Joint Typhoon Warning Center United States Navy 1965 March 11, 2010 Typhoon 44W (Joan) Best Track http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/best_tracks/1964/1964s-bwp/bwp341964.txt October 10, 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20121010110408/http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/best_tracks/1964/1964s-bwp/bwp341964.txt dead Tropical Storm Joan made landfall in nearly the same location as Typhoon Iris in central Vietnam before rapidly weakening over land.

Nora began within the Sulu Sea near the Cagayan Islands sometime around November 26–27, and became a tropical storm shortly after it was first detected.Rough Log, North Pacific Weather: September–November 1964 Mariners Weather Log January 1965 9 1 28–36 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Silver Spring, Maryland https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=msu.31293201280264 HathiTrust The storm tracked towards the northeast and reached its peak strength on November 27 with one-minute sustained winds estimated by the JTWC at 100 km/h mph on. Nora then curved northwest before moving ashore Mindoro in the Philippines on November 28. The storm then weakened to a tropical depression and strengthened no further, though data from tracking agencies disagree on Nora's demise, with the HKO and JTWC analyzing the storm to have dissipated in the direction of the South China Sea while the CMA and JMA indicating that the system continued northeast across the Philippines before dissipating over the Philippine Sea. Rough waters kicked up by the storm led to the sinking of a cargo ship near Zamboanga City, causing the presumed drownings of 18 people; another 37 crewmembers were rescued.Peace Corps Trio Heroes in Shipwreck https://www.newspapers.com/clip/63610993/ Newspapers.com November 19, 2020 Tucson Daily Citizen United Press International 287 92 November 30, 1964 Tucson, Arizona 17

Opal formed from a tropical wave moving through the Caroline Islands in early December, with an initial wind circulation developing by December 8.239 The newly formed system organized quickly; by the time a reconnaissance aircraft encountered the system 160 km mi on southwest of Chuuk Lagoon on December 9, Opal was already a typhoon with an eye spanning 40 km mi on across.7847 Between December 10–12, Opal moved between Yap and Palau, passing 65 km mi on north of Kayangel with one-minute sustained winds of 260 km/h mph on.78 On December 12, Opal reached its peak intensity with one-minute sustained winds of 315 km/h mph on and a central pressure of 895 hPa (26.43 inHg). Data from the JTWC indicated that Opal's winds, along with Sally earlier in the year, were the highest of any typhoon in 1964. Opal also had the largest wind circulation of any typhoon in 1964, with a total span of 2,100 km mi on.47 On December 14, the typhoon passed north of Catanduanes and Polillo Island and its winds began to lessen. Later that day, Opal made landfall on central Luzon with one-minute sustained winds of 140 km/h mph on. The typhoon weakened further as it moved over Luzon. Its center then executed a small counterclockwise loop over western Luzon before curving north and briefly emerging into Lingayen Gulf as a tropical storm. Opal crossed northwestern Luzon and the Babuyan Islands on December 16 and later became extratropical near Okinawa on December 17; this phase of Opal's development dissipated the next day.78
Opal inflicted minor damage to a few homes in Palau, where winds reached an estimated 140 km/h mph on.

Olga remained within the Gulf of Tonkin for the entirety of its existence, taking a southward trajectory. The CMA determined that the cyclone formed on August 21, and became a tropical storm by August 24. The JTWC assessed that Olga lasted more briefly, beginning as a tropical depression on August 23 and peaking as a tropical storm the next day with one-minute sustained winds of 85 km/h mph on. It maintained this intensity and remained quasi-stationary over the gulf. Olga weakened to a tropical depression on August 25 and degenerated into a non-circulating cluster of thunderstorms later that day.1964 Severe Tropical Storm OLGA (1964234N20107) IBTrACS - International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship http://ibtracs.unca.edu/index.php?name=v04r00-1964234N20107 June 28, 2020 Asheville, North Carolina 2018 November 27, 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20201127173834/http://ibtracs.unca.edu/index.php?name=v04r00-1964234N20107 dead

Tropical Storm Pamela was first detected on imagery from the TIROS weather satellites on August 25. At the time, it was located southeast of Wake Island. It began as a tropical depression and became a tropical storm at 06:00 UTC on August 25, with its maximum winds increasing until reaching 95 km/h mph on. Pamela moved towards the west-northwest and subsequently weakened; on August 26, the system weakened to a tropical depression and dissipated after a center of circulation could not be identified by aircraft reconnaissance.1964 Severe Tropical Storm PAMELA (1964238N16172) IBTrACS - International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship http://ibtracs.unca.edu/index.php?name=v04r00-1964238N16172 June 28, 2020 Asheville, North Carolina 2018 April 8, 2022 https://web.archive.org/web/20220408112139/http://ibtracs.unca.edu/index.php?name=v04r00-1964238N16172 dead

The CMA determined that Violet formed in the South China Sea on September 12, while the JTWC assessed tropical cyclogenesis on the following day.77 The system quickly strengthened and reached tropical storm and later typhoon intensity on September 14. Violet's one-minute sustained winds topped out at 140 km/h mph on just prior to moving ashore Vietnam.77 Violet made landfall on Vietnam on the morning of September 15.76 It weakened quickly over land with the JTWC issuing its last advisory on the system on September 15 and the CMA considering the system to have dissipated on September 16.77
The storm generated rainfall totals in excess of 190 mm in between September 14–17,76 punctuated by a maximum measured value of 245 mm in.145 Ninety percent of homes were destroyed in Quảng Tín Province according to early reports.77 U.S. Marine Corps helicopters were deployed to evacuate those affected by the storm in Tam Kỳ, Vietnam. Light damage was wrought to facilities associated with U.S. Marine Corps support operations in Vietnam.159
Tropical depressions
On the January 26th, the system developed into a tropical depression in the Caroline region.

Between July 1st and 2nd, a tropical depression developed and was designated as 06W.
Between July 19th and 23rd, a tropical depression named Maring developed in the Philippines and was upgraded to 11W.
Around August 3rd, a low-pressure system formed in the Philippines within the South China Sea developed into tropical depression Reming.
Between August 24th and 26th, a tropical depression was classified as 23W.
In Caroline Island from September 7th to 9th, a tropical depression was detected, classified as 28W.
On September 15th, the tropical depression was classified as 31W.
Between October 20th and 24th, a low pressure system was recorded at 40W.

After the season, the JTWC announced that the name Tilda would be removed from the list, possibly due to it sounding similar to Wilda and causes massive floods to river Mekong Delta. It was replaced with Therese, which was first used in the 1967 season.November 2020

The Philippine Weather Bureau (later reorganized in December 1972 as PAGASA or the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration) uses its own naming scheme for tropical cyclones in their area of responsibility. The agency assigns names to tropical depressions that form within their area of responsibility and any tropical cyclone that might move into their area of responsibility. PWB/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.). 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 (in this case, all of them are used up and more auxiliary names are given). All of the storm names here are used for the first time (and only, in case of Dading). The names not retired from this list will be used again in the 1968 season.
After the season, the weather bureau announced that the name Dading would be struck from their naming lists due to its impacts and was replaced by Didang which was first used during the 1968 season; this name was later retired by the agency after the 1976 Pacific typhoon season and replaced with Ditang, which was first used during the 1980 season.
Season effects
This table will list all the storms that developed in the northwestern Pacific Ocean west of the International Date Line and north of the equator during 1964. It will include their intensity, duration, name, areas affected, deaths, missing persons (in parentheses), and damage totals. Classification and intensity values will be based on estimations conducted by the JMA. All damage figures will be in 1964 USD. Damages and deaths from a storm will include when the storm was a precursor wave or an extratropical low.
