1974 Pacific typhoon season
The 1974 Pacific typhoon season was the first season on record to not feature a Category 5-equivalent super typhoon; a feature later repeated by the 1977 and 2017 seasons. Even so, the season was overly active, with 32 tropical storms and 16 typhoons being developed within the year.
