Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) on November 7, 2013, one of the strongest Pacific typhoons ever recorded.. Since 1947, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) has classified all typhoons in the Northwestern Pacific Ocean with wind speeds of at least 130 knots (67 m/s; 150 mph; 240 km/h)—the equivalent of a strong Category 4 on the Saffir–Simpson scale, as super typhoons.

The JMA divides the typhoon category into three categories, with a 10-minute maximum wind speed below 84 kn (43 m/s; 97 mph; 156 km/h) assigned for the (strong) typhoon category. A very strong typhoon has wind speeds between 85–104 kn (44–54 m/s; 98–120 mph; 157–193 km/h), while a violent typhoon has wind speeds of 105 kn (54 m/s; 121 ...
Typhoon Haiyan, known in the Philippines as Typhoon "Yolanda", caused catastrophic destruction after ploughing through central Philippines in November 2013 with 10-minute maximum sustained winds peaking at 235 km/h as estimated by PAGASA. [20] Discussions on revising the PSWS started, as PSWS #4 was deemed inadequate for extreme tropical cyclones.
In terms of one-minute sustained winds from the JTWC, Haiyan was the most powerful storm to strike land on record, later tied with Typhoon Meranti in 2016 and broken by Typhoon Goni in 2020. [ 20 ] [ 25 ] [ 27 ] As Haiyan approached Guiuan, mountainous terrain disrupted the cyclone's low-level inflow, slightly degrading the storm's structure ...
