Questions about December 1
What is the strongest storm on record on December 1?
Of the storms active on December 1, Typhoon Paka (1997) had the highest peak wind recorded by a U.S. agency: 160 kt (184 mph), 1-minute sustained (NHC). That is the storm's peak over its whole life, which may fall on another day. Agencies that average wind over 10 minutes report lower numbers for the same storm.
Has a storm ever made landfall on December 1?
Yes. 9 storms on record came ashore on December 1. The most recent was Cyclone Nada (2016): coast crossing (estimated) near 10.8°N, 80.1°E. Some coast crossings are estimated from the track, and each one is labelled.
How many storms were active on December 1?
189 storms on record were active on December 1, in 98 different years from 1857 to 2025. The count uses calendar dates in UTC and covers every ocean basin in NOAA's IBTrACS archive and the National Hurricane Center's HURDAT2.

Get it on Google PlaySources. Storm tracks and events from NOAA's best-track archives, exactly as the Hurricane Calendar app shows them. Dates are calendar dates in UTC. Each wind speed keeps the agency that recorded it and its averaging period; nothing is converted between agencies. A missing value is shown as not recorded, never as zero. Storms that may still have been active when the archive was updated are left out.
