List of super typhoons

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.

[3] Tropical cyclones of these violent intensities occur much more often in the Western Pacific, owing to the fact it has the warmest sea surface temperatures, which tropical cyclones need to thrive.

[4][5] Sufficient sea surface temperatures and the frequent passing of the Madden–Julian oscillation allow these cyclones to quickly intensify and blossom into violent storms.

[5] Since the first super typhoon was designated, approximately 314 other super typhoons have formed to date.
