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 1957 Pacific hurricane season. Tropical storms formed in the entire west Pacific basin were assigned a name by the Fleet Weather Center on Guam. Seasonal summary The accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) index for the 1957 Pacific typhoon season as calculated by Colorado State University using data from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center was 440.2 units, which is the seventh highest ACE for a single season ever recorded.Northwest Pacific Ocean Statistics compared with climatology https://tropical.atmos.colostate.edu/Realtime/index.php?arch&loc=northwestpacific 2025-07-23 tropical.atmos.colostate.edu Twenty-two tropical storms developed in 1957 in the Northwestern Pacific. Tropical depressions were likely, but no records are known to exist that would mention any. Eighteen storms reached typhoon intensity, of which 8 reached super typhoon strength. An additional storm, Della, came across the Dateline from the Central Pacific, therefore it is not taken account in the total number of storms.

Later that day, the storm attained its peak intensity with winds of 45 mph km/h on and a barometric pressure of 995 mbar inHg. Tropical Storm 01W maintained this intensity through January 5 before abruptly weakening to a tropical depression near the eastern Philippines. The system made landfall in eastern Leyte early on January 6 with winds of 35 mph km/h on before dissipating the following day over Romblon. Super Typhoon Rose WPac Rose 1957 track.png January 21 January 30 typhoon 135 920 About two weeks after Tropical Storm 01W dissipated over the Philippines, a new tropical depression formed to the southeast of Guam on January 21. Gradual intensification took place as the depression tracked westward. The JTWC began monitoring the system as Tropical Storm Rose the following day, with the first advisory on the storm placing maximum winds at 50 mph km/h on. Rose maintained this intensity for roughly 24 hours before undergoing a brief period of rapid intensification, attaining winds of 110 mph km/h on early on January 23. For most of the day, the now Category 2 typhoon, strengthened at a more modest rate before undergoing a second brief period of rapid intensification. At the end of the second strengthening phase, Rose had attained its peak intensity just at Category 5 status, on the modern-day Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale, with winds of 160 mph km/h on,Joint Typhoon Warning Center United States Navy 1958 March 6, 2010 Super Typhoon 02W Best Track http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/best_tracks/1957/1957s-bwp/bwp021957.txt September 16, 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20120916175132/http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/best_tracks/1957/1957s-bwp/bwp021957.txt dead and a minimum pressure of 920 mbar inHg.

Late on January 25, Rose rapidly weakened to a low-end typhoon and by January 26, the system had further weakened to a tropical storm. The JTWC continued to monitor the weakening tropical storm until January 27, by which time Rose had maximum winds of 40 mph km/h on. However, the JMA continued monitoring the remnants of Rose as it turned sharply eastward over open waters. During the afternoon of January 28, the depression nearly stalled as it turned northward before accelerating and losing its identity south of Japan on January 30. Typhoon Shirley WPac Shirley 1957 track.png April 11 April 18 typhoon 100 975 Shirley formed on April 11 east of the Philippines. It moved north and intensified to its brief peak of 115 mph km/h on winds and a pressure of 975 mbar on April 15. Shirley then turned to the northwest and weakened to a tropical storm on April 16. Shirley turned to the west and dissipated on April 18 near the northern end of Luzon. Typhoon Trix WPac Trix 1957 track.png May 2 May 16 typhoon 120 950 Trix formed on May 2 near the Marshall Islands. It moved north briefly on May 3 and May 4, intensified to its peak of 140 mph km/h on on May 5, and then turned to the west-northwest. Trix turned to the north on May 9 and to the east-northeast on May 10, weakening to a Category 2 typhoon on May 11. Trix continued to move northeast and weakened to a Category 1 typhoon on May 13. It dissipated on May 17 just over the Date Line without affecting any land. Super Typhoon Virginia WPac Typhoon Virginia analysis 22 Jun 1957.png Virginia 1957 path.png June 18 June 26 typhoon 150 900 Typhoon Virginia (1957) Virginia formed on June 18 in the open western Pacific east of the southern Philippines. It moved west and strengthened to a typhoon on June 20 and reached its peak of 175 mph km/h on and a minimum central pressure of 900 mbar on June 22. Virginia then began to move northwest and weakened to a Category 4 typhoon as it passed east of Luzon on June 23 and June 24. It turned northward on June 24, strengthened to a secondary peak of 160 mph km/h on, and weakened before it made landfall in Taiwan on June 25 as a Category 2 typhoon. Virginia then continued to move north and then northeast until its dissipation on June 28. Virginia was an early season typhoon. It destroyed 1,000 buildings and killed 86 people as it sliced through Taiwan and southern Japan. The storm left $20 million (1957 USD) in damage.http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/best_tracks/TCIDWNP.htm Tcidwnp 2009-12-24 2012-09-16 https://web.archive.org/web/20120916034114/http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/best_tracks/TCIDWNP.htm dead Typhoon Wendy WPac Wendy 1957 track.png July 10 July 18 typhoon 90 985 According to the International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship, Wendy originated from a tropical depression well east of the Philippines on July 10. Developing into a tropical storm several hours later, further development would occur as Wendy tracked northwestwards. As a result, around three days later, the system became a typhoon. Further intensification occurred, and around 15:00 UTC on July 14, Wendy peaked with sustained winds of 90 knots (100 mph) and a minimum pressure of 985 hPa. However, around that time, Wendy made its first landfall in Luzon, causing it to weaken into a Category 1-equivalent typhoon the next day. Although it temporarily reintensified, attaining a secondary peak with sustained winds of 80 knots (90 mph) around that time, it began rapidly weakening, making its final landfall in Guangdong, China as a high-end tropical storm. Once inland, Wendy rapidly weakened, dissipating on July 16.https://ncics.org/ibtracs/index.php?name=v04r01-1957192N07141 1957 Typhoon WENDY (1957192N07141) International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship 2025-01-02 Prior to striking the nation, the Hong Kong Observatory hoisted a No. 5 storm signal as Wendy was expected to strike the nation. This was later upgraded to a No. 6 storm signal when Wendy made its closest approach to Hong Kong. Two cruisers from the Royal Navy left the colony. Due to the typhoon's winds, American billionaire Nelson Rockefeller had to divert his plane to the colony.https://books.google.com/books?id=cGEQAAAAIBAJ Hong Kong Ready as Typhoon Nears The Age 2025-01-02https://www.scmp.com/article/321554/day-history This day in history South China Morning Post 2025-01-02 Despite these preparations, Wendy's impacts in Hong Kong were severe. Striking the island with gusts of 95 knots (110 mph) and torrential rainfall, the typhoon killed sixteen and injured a further two hundred. These included two boys who were killed when their huts collapsed on them and another boy who was also killed when he drowned in the sea surrounding West Point. The roof and rear of four homes collapsed, blocking all of Stavely Street. The SS Tweed Breeze broke from its buoy and ran aground in Stonecutter's Island, while parts of Taipo Road became inaccessible due to collapsing.https://gwulo.com/media/31706 Three Killed In Typhoon The China Mail 2025-01-02https://gwulo.com/media/31767 No. 6 Signal Down The China Mail 2025-01-02https://books.google.com/books?id=mH0_AAAAIBAJ Typhoon Wendy Begins To Ease Youngstown Vindicator 2025-01-02https://books.google.com/books?id=q04mAAAAIBAJ News Briefs Gettysburg Times 2025-01-02 Elsewhere, in the Philippines, Wendy brought flooding which killed at least seventy-six, most of them children, and made a further three hundred go missing.https://www.newspapers.com/article/hinton-daily-news-1500-feared-dead-in-f/160399951/ 1,500 Feared Dead In Flood Hinton Daily News 2025-01-02https://books.google.com/books?id=8kXwskQHBLoC Encyclopedia of Hurricanes, Typhoons, and Cyclones David Longshore 96 2025-01-02 This flooding also displaced around thirty thousand people and destroyed several towns. Damage there amounted to $2 million (1957 USD). Elsewhere, in China's Guangdong Province, over three hundred-thousand people were mobilized to gather crops and take safety precautions due to the storm. Offshore Guangdong Province, eight people died when their fishing boat sank due to Wendy. Additionally, estimates indicated that around a fifth of the unharvested rice in the province was destroyed. Although Wendy did bring some gale-force winds to Taiwan, no damage was reported there.https://newspaperarchive.com/canberra-times-jul-19-1957-p-1/ Typhoon Wendy Hits Coast of Southern China Canberra Times 2025-01-02https://www.proquest.com/docview/114117867 Typhoon Wendy Toll Now 16 The New York Times 2025-01-02 Super Typhoon Agnes WPac Agnes 1957 track.png August 11 August 22 typhoon 135 905 On August 12, the seventh storm of the season formed. Agnes moved in an erratic northern direction until August 16, when it briefly turned to the northwest toward China. Agnes then began to curve towards the north, passing over one of the Ryukyu Islands with 155 mph winds and a minimum central pressure of 905 mbar. After it passed over the islands, Agnes weakened to tropical storm strength. On August 21, South Korea was struck by a 50 mph Agnes; their 1stMay 2009 tropical cyclone of the season. It passed over the peninsula and briefly was over water before it hit Russia with 45 mph winds. Agnes became extratropical the next day over southern Russia. Its extratropical form continued for two more days until it dissipated in the center of the Sea of Okhotsk. Tropical Storm 08W WPac 08W 1957 track.png August 13 August 20 nwpstorm 55 984 08W formed on August 15, becoming the 8th of the season. It moved in a generally westward direction for a couple days until it struck Hainan on August 18 with 65 mph winds and a minimum pressure of 984 mbar. It moved south over land, retaining its strength. It soon moved north again, but suddenly turned southwest for a brief time before it returned to its original path. It weakened to a tropical depression on August 20 and struck mainland China later that day. It almost became extratropical almost at the same time. Ex-08W lingered northeast until the 24th, when the last of it was gone after ten days in existence. JMA Tropical Storm Nine WPac JMA TS 9 1957 track.png August 22 August 24 40 998 A disturbance close to Japan's coast developed into a tropical depression on August 22, and became a tropical storm 6 hours later. It managed to achieve a minimum central pressure of 999 mbar before it struck the southeastern portion of Japan. It weakened to a tropical depression shortly before landfall though, and became extratropical the next day. But its extratropical remnants continued to move north-northeast, then northeast, and then east-northeast until it dissipated on August 27. Typhoon Bess WPac Bess 1957 track.png August 26 September 7 typhoon 100 950 Bess formed on August 26 close to the Marshall Islands. After moving westward, Bess attained Category 3 status with 115 mph winds a pressure of 950 mbar. It hit southern Japan on September 6 and later became extratropical over water on September 9. But the extratropical form of Bess continued east for one more day before it became disorganized enough to be declared dissipated. On August 30, the typhoon battered the United States military base on Iwo Jima with winds of 110 mph km/h on, resulting in communication loss for roughly 23 hours. After communication was restored, officials on the island stated that there was likely no loss of life as a result of the storm.August 31, 1957 March 6, 2010 Contact Regained Associated Press The Dispatch 1 https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=19AbAAAAIBAJ&sjid=4VAEAAAAIBAJ&dq=typhoon%20bess%201957&pg=5428%2C3238776 Little damage also took place throughout Iwo Jima.September 2, 1957 March 6, 2010 Typhoon Heads Towards Japan Associated Press The Spokesman-Review https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=tJwpAAAAIBAJ&sjid=FecDAAAAIBAJ&dq=typhoon%20bess%201957&pg=2252%2C574889 1 Widespread damage took place throughout Kyushu as wind gusts up to 115 mph km/h on and torrential rains impacted the region.Staff Writer Times Daily September 8, 1957 March 6, 2010 Typhoon 'Bess' Pounds Japan https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=OiMsAAAAIBAJ&sjid=ocgEAAAAIBAJ&dq=typhoon%20bess%201957&pg=711%2C4300967 4 Along coastal regions, waves exceeding 13 ft m on caused significant coastal damage.Associated Press The Hartford Courant September 4, 1957 Waves Pound Japan Isle 15 In Kyushu, at least six people were killed, 14 others listed as missing and 28 more injured as a result of Bess.Staff Writer Chicago Tribune September 9, 1957 Typhoon Kills Six, 14 Missing in Japan 1 According to police reports, 912 homes were destroyed and 1,522 others were severely damaged by flooding and landslides triggered by Typhoon Bess.

It slowly moved north and the west over the course of three days, until it strengthened to a tropical storm. Carmen headed south briefly before heading east-northeast, when it began to strengthen even more. Carmen reached winds of 125 mph and a pressure of 960 mbar. But shortly thereafter, the strengthening stopped, and it slowly weakened. On September 15, Carmen made landfall in southern China and dissipated the following day. Typhoon Della WPac Della 1957 track.png September 9 (Entered basin) September 17 typhoon 120 960 A disturbance in the Intertropical Convergence Zone developed into Tropical Storm Della on September 1. Della moved west-northwestward, strengthening to a hurricane while west of Hawaii. There, it brought heavy surf to the western islands. The hurricane continued generally westward, moving to the southwest while crossing the International Date Line. It turned westward and the northwestward. During its long northwestward trek, Della reached its peak intensity of 140 mph and a minimum central pressure of ≤960 mbar. On September 14, Della began to travel a completely opposite direction-northeast. It continued that direction for a number of days, until it reached the Dateline as a 70 mph tropical storm. As the storm was crossing the date line, it turned sharply to the north-northeast. A few days later, Della turned east-northeast and dissipated on September 18. Typhoon Elaine WPac Elaine 1957 track.png September 14 September 19 typhoon 120 945 On September 14, in the open Pacific, Elaine was formed. It moved in a generally northwestward direction while gaining strength. Its peak intensity was 140 mph and a pressure of 945 mbar. But it turned sharply to the northeast and lost strength. On its penultimate day as a tropical cyclone, it turned eastward and became extratropical the next day. Elaine's extratropical form continued one more day, and dissipated, one week since its formation, just over the Dateline. Super Typhoon Faye WPac Faye 1957 track.png September 17 September 27 typhoon 140 930 Faye formed on September 18. It strengthened at a moderate pace until it reached its peak of 160 mph km/h on and 930 mbar. After weakening, it struck Okinawa as a Category 2 typhoon; Faye battered the island, which was still recovering from Typhoon Emma that struck the same area a year ago. 53 people died in its wake, while 79 were listed as missing. Faye also left damages, straining the expensive budget caused by past and future typhoons that struck the island. Faye passed over the Date Line and shortly after became extratropical on the last day of the month, but continued one more day as an extratropical system before it met its demise.July 2016 Typhoon Gloria WPac File:Typhoon Gloria in 1957.png Gloria 1957 track.png September 17 September 24 typhoon 90 980Gloria formed on September 17. After crossing the Philippines as a category two, it brought hurricane winds to Hong Kong and strong winds to Macau.Typhoon Gloria After landfall, it moved east and met its demise on September 24. It had a minimum central pressure of 980 mbar and maximum winds of 105 mph. Super Typhoon Hester WPac Hester 1957 track.png October 3 October 10 typhoon 130 900Hester formed on October 3, several hundred miles east of the Philippines. At first, it slowly intensified, then rapid intensification occurred, reaching its peak strength of 150 mph while southeast of Japan. It then gradually weakened, weakening to a tropical storm southeast of the Kamchatka Peninsula. It then further weakened, dissipating just north of the Aleutian Islands. Typhoon Irma WPac Irma 1957 track.png October 9 October 13 nwpstorm 75 990 Irma formed on October 9, west of the Philippines. The tropical cyclone strengthened to a category one typhoon with maximum sustained winds of 85 mph and a minimum central pressure 990 mbar. It moved west, and hit Vietnam with 80 mph winds and a minimum central pressure of 995 mbar. It dissipated on October 13, over the Thailand–Laos border. Typhoon Irma brought torrential rains and high winds to Vietnam, resulting in nine fatalities and an estimated $2 million in damage.New York Times October 26, 1957 Typhoon Kills 9 in Vietnam 8 Tropical Storm 17W WPac 17W 1957 track.png October 11 October 15 nwpstorm 45 1000 Tropical Storm 17W formed on October 11. Later, it hit the Philippines as a tropical depression once, then again as a tropical depression, but actually strengthened to tropical storm strength while over land. It continued west-northwest until it struck China. It dissipated around the same moment it made landfall on October 15. 16W had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph and a minimum central pressure of 1000 mbar. Super Typhoon Judy WPac Judy 1957 track.png October 19 October 26 typhoon 130 960 Judy formed on October 19, in the open Pacific. It moved westward and strengthened into a super typhoon with maximum sustained winds of 150 mph and a minimum central pressure of 960 mbar. It then began to curve north, therefore weakening. Judy passed by Japan, but far away enough to avoid damage. Soon after that, it began to move east and then east-northeast as a tropical storm. Judy dissipated on October 30, just over the Date Line. Super Typhoon Kit WPac Kit 1957 track.png November 4 November 16 typhoon 140 910 On November 6, Kit formed in the same general area as Super Typhoon Judy did. It moved westward and slowly strengthened. But after reaching tropical storm-strength, Kit's intensification rapidly quickened. It briefly became a category five super typhoon with maximum sustained winds of 160 mph and a minimum central pressure of 910 mbar. After weakening slightly, Kit struck the northern Philippines as a Category 4 on November 11. After exiting land, Kit restrengthened into a Category 1 . It became extratropical on November 17 and dissipated shortly thereafter. Torrential rains and high winds impacted much of northern Luzon, Philippines during a country-wide election.
