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 dateline and north of the equator are called hurricanes; see 1960 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 had the "W" suffix added to their number. Seasonal summary Systems Tropical Depression Ivy WPac Temporary cyclone north new.svg Ivy 1960 track.png January 30 February 3 nwpdepression depression 30 1000Ivy formed on January 30. Over the next few days, it moved towards the Philippines. It then turned east and dissipated on February 3. Tropical Depression Jean WPac Temporary cyclone north new.svg Jean 1960 track.png March 7 March 9 nwpdepression depression 25 1004Jean was a short-lived tropical depression. It formed on March 7. The storm slowly moved west and dissipated on March 9. Typhoon Karen WPac Temporary cyclone north new.svg Karen 1960 track.png April 21 April 27 nwpstorm cat1 75 990 An area of disturbed weather in the Philippine Sea moved westward and organized into a tropical depression on April 22. It moved northwestward through the Philippines, strengthening quickly to a typhoon on the 24th due to its small size. Karen turned to the northeast, and despite favorable conditions, rapidly weakened until dissipation on the 26th. Karen left 56 dead in the Philippines, left 7,000 homeless, and caused $2 million (1960 USD) in crop and property damage. Tropical Storm Lucille WPac Tropical Storm Lucille analysis 30 May 1960.png Lucille 1960 track.png May 27 June 2 typhoon storm 45 996 Tropical Storm Lucille Lucille was identified as a weak tropical depression on May 25 to the east of the Philippines. Tracking northwestward, the system failed to develop and warnings on it were discontinued on May 27. At the same time, a second system began organizing along the west coast of Luzon. The two systems ultimately merged into one over the Philippines between May 28 and 29. Now tracking northeastward, the system re-intensified and became a tropical storm on May 30. Lucille attained its peak intensity later that day with winds of 85 km/h mph on 5. As it accelerated over open waters, the system brushed the islands of Iwo Jima and Chichi-jima before transitioning into an extratropical cyclone on June 1.Joint Typhoon Warning Center United States Navy 1961 May 6, 2013 Annual Tropical Cyclone Report: Tropical Storm Lucille http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1960atcr.pdf 37–40 September 25, 2018 https://web.archive.org/web/20180925080226/https://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1960atcr.pdf dead The remnants of Lucille were last noted on June 4 near the International Date Line.International Best Track Archive 2013 May 6, 2013 1960 Lucille (1960146N08131) 1960146N08131 Between May 27 and 29, heavy rains fell across much of Luzon as Lucille developed.

During that time, hundreds of homes were swept away and an estimated 300–500 people, including at least 80 children, were killed. Monetary losses from the floods exceeded $2 million.Associated Press Daytona Beach Sunday News-Journal May 30, 1960 April 30, 2013 150 Dead In Flood https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=4cMtAAAAIBAJ&dq=philippines&pg=3153%2C6033165 Manila, Philippines 1 Typhoon Mary WPac Typhoon Mary analysis 8 Jun 1960.png Mary 1960 track.png June 2 June 11 typhoon Cat1 80 980 Typhoon Mary (1960) A trough of low pressure spawned a tropical depression in the South China Sea on June 3 and moved slowly westward. Favorable conditions allowed it to quickly strengthen into Tropical Storm Mary, and after turning northward it attained typhoon status on the 7th. Mary continued to intensify to a 90 mi/h km/h on typhoon just before making landfall 20 mi km west of Hong Kong on the 8th. After weakening while moving northeastward over China, the storm restrengthened over the Western Pacific to a typhoon on the 10th. It passed near Okinawa, weakened, and accelerated to the east until it became extratropical on the 13th. Also known as Bloody Mary, the typhoon was the worst to hit Hong Kong in 23 years (since the worst typhoon on the record of Hong Kong hit on 2 September 1937). Its 14.12 in mm of rain, mudslides, and strong winds caused extreme damage across Hong Kong and southern China, leaving over 100 dead and over 18,000 homeless. The only positive aspect of the storm was its rainfall, which helped end a severe drought in the colony. An additional 1,600 people were killed following more landslides triggered by the remnants of the storm.Longshore, p. 71 In addition to its impact in Hong Kong, Mary brought heavy rains and flooding in Taiwan, especially in the capital city of Taipei. Moderate crop damage was seen to the rice crop. Four fishermen drowned off the island's southern coast, but there were no fatalities on the island. Despite its effects, the name Mary was not retired. Tropical Storm Nadine WPac Tropical Storm Nadine analysis 7 Jun 1960.png Nadine 1960 track.png June 3 June 10 typhoon storm 76 985 On June 3, Nadine formed as Tropical Depression Five, which later became a tropical storm. On June 5, Nadine appeared to have been intensifying, likely at a pressure of 990 hPa inHg on, with a ship reporting winds of around 83 km/h mph on 1 the same day. A P2V reconnaissance aircraft on June 6 reported winds of 116 km/h mph on 1 and 140 km/h mph on, respectively. By June 9, the storm began to weaken, and by June 10, the final warning was issued, as it dissipated.1960 Annual Typhoon Report https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/tr/pdf/ADA399412.pdf 2025-04-27 Typhoon Olive WPac Temporary cyclone north new.svg Olive 1960 track.png June 21 July 1 typhoon cat4 125 950 On June 23, a tropical depression developed to the east of the Philippines. It entered nearly ideal conditions as it moved to the west-northwest, and, just 42 hours after forming, reached peak intensity of 145 mi/h km/h on. Due to lack of inflow from the archipelago to its west, Olive weakened to a 125 mi/h km/h on typhoon at the time of its eastern Philippine landfall. It rapidly weakened while crossing to a tropical storm, but restrengthened into a typhoon in the South China Sea. It turned to the west, and struck southern China on June 29 as an 80 mi/h km/h on typhoon. Olive rapidly weakened over land and the northern Gulf of Tonkin and dissipated on July 1. A storm surge of 6–8 feet flooded much of Manila, causing extensive property and transportation damage. Rains, amounting up to 203.2 mm in on triggered flooding and numerous landslides. About 80 percent of the crops in southeast Luzon were destroyed by the flooding, and 404 people were killed. At least 32,000 buildings were destroyed by the storm, resulting in $30 million in damages. In addition, nearly 60,000 people were left homeless in the period after the storm's passage. During rescue attempts, many coastal defense force ships were either sunk or ran aground due to 7.3 m ft on swell produced by Olive.Longshore, p. 253 China and Hong Kong received heavy rainfall from Olive, causing moderate crop damage, though there were no reported casualties there. Typhoon Polly WPac Temporary cyclone north new.svg Polly 1960 track.png July 17 July 28 typhoon cat4 115 950Typhoon Polly formed east of the Philippines on July 17. It slowly moved north-northeast and intensified to a Category 4 super typhoon with windspeed of 215 km/h (130 mph). It then moved north and sped up. It hit China before turning into an extratropical cyclone and dissipated on July 28. Tropical Storm Rose WPac Temporary cyclone north new.svg Rose 1960 track.png July 24 July 29 nwpstorm storm 40 1000 Rose was a short-lived storm that appeared on July 24. It quickly strengthened to a tropical storm. The storm was close to Japan, but didn't make landfall. The storm moved northeast and dissipated on July 21. Typhoon Shirley WPac Typhoon Shirley surface analysis 31 July 1960.png Shirley 1960 track.png July 27 August 6 typhoon cat4 135 910 On July 29, a tropical depression formed to the east of northern Luzon. Moving to the northwest, it encountered favorable conditions for development, and rapidly intensified to a 155 mi/h km/h on super typhoon just 48 hours after forming, with an eyewall only 7 mi km wide. Shirley continued to the northwest, and struck northeastern Taiwan as a slightly weaker 140 mi/h km/h on typhoon on the July 31. The mountainous terrain ripped apart the typhoon's circulation, and after crossing the Taiwan Strait, it made landfall on southeastern China as a tropical storm. Shirley turned northward while moving inland, and dissipated on August 2. An unusual feature of the storm was the development of a secondary center while approaching Taiwan. Shirley's 140 mi/h km/h on winds and torrential rains devastated Taiwan, overflowing many rivers and trapping thousands. Nearly a foot of rain was reported on the island, causing extensive road and property damage. Little crop damage occurred due to Typhoon Mary destroying much of it months before. In all, Typhoon Shirley caused 104 fatalities, destroyed or damaged 9,890 houses, and left 50,194 people homeless. Typhoon Trix WPac Temporary cyclone north new.svg Trix 1960 track.png August 2 August 13 typhoon cat4 125 930 Just one week after Shirley hit Taiwan, Typhoon Trix, which weakened from a peak of 145 mi/h km/h on, hit the northeastern part of the island with winds of 100 mi/h km/h on. Trix left four more dead and brought more severe flooding to the typhoon-ravaged country. JMA Tropical Storm Ten WPac Temporary cyclone north new.svg JMA TS 10 1960 track.png August 6 August 9 nwpstorm 45 1000A tropical depression formed on August 6 and was noted by JMA. Over the next few days, it moved north-northwest and strengthened into a tropical storm. It soon weakened and dissipated on August 9. Typhoon Virginia WPac Temporary cyclone north new.svg Virginia 1960 track.png August 7 August 12 typhoon cat2 85 980 Typhoon Virginia northwest of Guam on August 7. It moved northeast, and then turned northwest, strengthening to peak intensity of 155km/h (100mph). The storm struck Shikoku and Honshū island in Japan with winds of 90 mi/h km/h on. 4 inches of rain fell over most of southern Japan. 2 people were killed and one was injured. Typhoon Wendy WPac Typhoon Wendy analysis 12 Jun 1960.png Wendy 1960 track.png August 10 August 13 typhoon cat1 75 990 Typhoon Wendy (1960) On August 10, a trough extending from Typhoon Virginia developed abnormal wind directions, prompting the JTWC and JMA to designate it a tropical depression. It quickly strengthened into Tropical Storm Wendy west of Iwo Jima. Wendy intensified, becoming a typhoon south of Shikoku and peaking offshore. It made landfall on Shikoku, then southern Honshu, weakening over land. After briefly reemerging over the Sea of Japan, it made a final landfall on northern Honshu before the JTWC discontinued advisories and the JMA declared it extratropical. Its development within Virginia's circulation was considered unusual. Wendy caused significant damage in Japan's Kinki and Chūbu regions from August 12-13, dropping heavy rain causing floods, landslides, bridge destruction, and inundating thousands of homes.Digital Typhoon: Typhoon 196012 (WENDY) - Disaster Information https://agora.ex.nii.ac.jp/cgi-bin/dt/dsummary.pl?id=196012&basin=wnp&lang=en 2025-07-17 agora.ex.nii.ac.jp1960-08-13 Article clipped from Corpus Christi Caller-Times https://www.newspapers.com/article/corpus-christi-caller-times/2520116/ 2025-07-17 Corpus Christi Caller-Times 8 The storm resulted in 28 deaths, 19 missing, and 154 injuries. Tropical Storm Agnes WPac Temporary cyclone north new.svg Agnes 1960 track.png August 10 August 18 nwpstorm storm 50 994Agnes formed northeast of Luzon on August 10. It turned northwest and developed into a tropical storm. The storm made landfall in Taiwan. It entered the South China Sea and weakened into a tropical depression. The storm dissipated on August 18. Typhoon Bess WPac Temporary cyclone north new.svg Bess 1960 track.png August 15 August 26 typhoon cat1 65 980Bess was a category 1 typhoon with a weird track. It affected the coast of Tokyo. Bess later became an extrotropical storm and dissipated in the Bering strait on August 26. Typhoon Carmen WPac Typhoon Carmen 1960.jpg Carmen 1960 track.png August 15 August 23 typhoon cat1 75 975 A sharp trough of low pressure organized into a tropical depression on August 16. It moved northward, quickly strengthening to an 85 mi/h km/h on typhoon. Carmen lost intensity as it continued to the north, and made landfall on South Korea as a 50 mi/h km/h on tropical storm on the 23rd. The storm brought 50 ft m on waves to the Korean peninsula, flooding coastal cities and sinking ships offshore. In all, Carmen caused 24 casualties and $2 million in damage (1960 USD). Carmen is known for having the largest eye of any tropical cyclone in recorded history, tied with Typhoon Winnie in 1997. Radar data from Okinawa, Japan indicated that it was more than 200 mi km across.Evans Bill It's Raining Fish and Spiders 22 May 2012 Google Ebooks Hurricane Extremes 9781429984829 https://books.google.com/books?id=Buth_mZz8W8C&q=typhoon+carmen+largest+eye&pg=PT6 25 April 2018Jeff Masters Category 3 Chan-hom: One of Shanghai's Strongest Typhoons on Record? https://maps.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=3038&page=5 Weather Underground July 10, 2015 April 25, 2018 https://web.archive.org/web/20180617192749/https://maps.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=3038&page=5 June 17, 2018 dead Typhoon Della WPac Temporary cyclone north new.svg Della 1960 track.png August 17 August 30 typhoon cat2 95 970 The monsoon trough spawned a tropical storm in the open Western Pacific on August 20. Della moved to the northwest, strengthening to a typhoon on the 22nd before looping to the north-northwest. After peaking at 110 mi/h km/h on, Della weakened and hit southern Japan as a minimal typhoon. It accelerated to the northeast and became extratropical on the 31st. A landslide on Nishinomiya killed 38 road workers, while another 17 people were killed throughout the country from heavy flooding. Damages from the storm were estimated at $19 million.Longshore, p. 93 Typhoon Elaine WPac Temporary cyclone north new.svg Elaine 1960 track.png August 18 August 25 typhoon cat1 75 975 Elaine made an erratic track toward Taiwan, with a second landfall in Mainland China.

Typhoon Kit WPac Temporary cyclone north new.svg Kit 1960 track.png October 3 October 13 typhoon cat2 90 960 A large circulation over the Western Pacific organized into a tropical depression on October 2. It moved westward, steadily strengthening to a peak of 100 mi/h km/h on. Kit made landfall on the eastern Philippines at that intensity on the 6th and quickly crossed the archipelago. It turned to the northwest over the South China Sea and struck eastern Hainan Island on the 11th. Kit turned to the southwest, and after weakening hit northeastern Vietnam as a minimal tropical storm on the 13th. Kit dissipated shortly thereafter. Many small and large boats sank from Kit's 1000+ mile wide circulation, with 149 fishermen missing. In the Philippines, Kit's extensive rainfall caused severe damage to property and transportation damage. Especially damaged was the rice crop, which was affected during the rice harvesting season. In all, Kit caused 149 casualties (with 149 missing) and $3 million in damage. Extensive crop damage occurred as well in China. Typhoon Lola WPac Temporary cyclone north new.svg Lola 1960 track.png October 8 October 17 typhoon cat1 80 970 Typhoon Lola hit the Philippines just days after Kit made landfall, resulting in an additional $15 million in damage, much of it to the rice crop. 58 people were killed from the flooding, and heavy damage occurred to highways and communication systems.

Typhoon Ophelia WPac November 25 December 6 Typhoon Ophelia 1960 surface map.png Ophelia 1960 track.png typhoon cat4 135 925 Typhoon Ophelia The most unusual tropical cyclone of the year began its life on November 21 in the open Western Pacific. The depression drifted, first to the west, then to the southeast, then back to the west, varying between a tropical depression and an open trough of low pressure. After a northward turn, it strengthened into a tropical storm on the 27th and turned back to the southwest. Ophelia turned to a west drift, and under favorable conditions, intensified into a typhoon on the 29th. It continued to strengthen as it crossed over the Caroline Islands, and became a super typhoon on the 30th. A day later it reached a peak of 155 mi/h km/h on, but a northward turn weakened it to 150 mi/h km/h on. Ophelia remained a Category 4 typhoons until December 4, when it began accelerating to the northeast over unfavorable conditions. After weakening to a tropical storm on the 6th, Ophelia became extratropical over the Northern Pacific Ocean. As an extratropical storm, it persisted until dissipating south of Alaska on the 8th. Ophelia brought heavy rains to the Caroline Islands, killing 2 and injuring 4. Many of the islands were covered in up to 2 ft m of water, and they experienced severe damage from Ophelia's strong winds. The name Ophelia was retired after this storm. Over the course of Ophelia's life, it traveled 5,000 miles.http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1960atcr/pdf/wnp/53.pdf Archived copy 2009-01-02 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20110606232846/http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1960atcr/pdf/wnp/53.pdf 2011-06-06 Typhoon Phyllis WPac Temporary cyclone north new.svg Phyllis 1960 track.png December 11 December 20 typhoon cat3 105 965 Phyllis formed on December 11 east of the Philippines.
