Questions about December 7

What is the strongest storm on record on December 7?

Of the storms active on December 7, 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 7?

Sources. 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.
