Typhoon Flossie, international code 196111, international name FLOSSIE, 1961 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 1961-07-16 00:00:00, ended: 1961-07-19 18:00:00. Peak intensity: Tropical Storm, minimum central pressure: 992 hPa, max wind: 23m/s.

Overview of Typhoon Flossie

Typhoon Flossie at 1961-07-16 00:00:00 at 17.9°N, 129°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.

It peaked at Tropical Storm intensity with max winds of 23 m/s (~83 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 992hPa, recorded at 1961-07-18 12:00:00.

1961-07-19 18:00:00 After, Typhoon Flossie gradually weakened and was numbered off on 1961-07-19 18:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 16 track points.

Typhoon Flossie Trail Characteristics

Track Characteristics and Moving Trends

Typhoon Flossie (196111)'s life history is short, from formed to dispersed for about 3 and a half days. Its path overall shows significant 'WN' Moving characteristics, with no landfall record throughout. Initial phase (July 16, 00 to 12) , system position at Philippines at E surface (about 129°E-126.4°E) , main toward SW direction slow Moving, latitude from 17.9°N mic to 17.3°N. Then, the path has a noticeable turn, from July 16, 18 toward NW direction, crossing the sea near the Strait.

During the period of July 17 to 18, the Typhoon center continued toward NW propulsion, the length from 125.1°E quickly shifted from W to 118.5°E, the latitude then gradually increased from 16.8°N to 19.5°N. It is worth noting that during the period of July 17 to 18.00, the system showed a short-lived N decline acceleration sign, the latitude jumped rapidly from 16.6°N to 18.2°N, showing the guiding flow may be adjusted. Go to S SeaNE after July 18 after 12.00, the pathined a stable NW walk toward, and finally at July 19 at 23.4°N, weakened near 112.9°E.

Intensity Evolution and Historical Comparison

The Typhoon Intensity overall weak, peak intensity only for Tropical Storm intensity with max winds of 23m/s. The Intensity evolution process presents the fluctuation characteristics of 'enhanced-weakened-then enhanced-dispersed'. on July 16, at 18, the system by Nameless intensified into Tropical Storm (20m/s) , andined that intensity until July 17, at 12 am. Then on July 17, at 18, briefly weakened into Nameless (17m/s) , but on July 18, at 12, again intensified into Tropical Storm, and reached peak intensity 23m/s within the life cycle.

In 1961, Flossie's intensity was significantly weaker than the previous Typhoon.The historical records show that in 1964, 1972 and 1975 Flossie reached the level of Typhoon, and in 1969 Flossie reached the level of Severe Tropical Storm.
