Questions about October 3

What is the strongest storm on record on October 3?

Of the storms active on October 3, Typhoon Violet (1961) had the highest peak wind recorded by a U.S. agency: 180 kt (207 mph), 1-minute sustained (JTWC). 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 October 3?

Yes. 55 storms on record came ashore on October 3. The most recent was Typhoon Matmo (2025): coast crossing (estimated) near 16.5°N, 122.5°E. Some coast crossings are estimated from the track, and each one is labelled.

How many storms were active on October 3?

449 storms on record were active on October 3, in 152 different years from 1852 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.

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.
