Typhoon Wanda was a large, powerful and deadly tropical cyclone that became one of the deadliest typhoons to impact China, and was the strongest typhoon to impact Zhejiang since Typhoon Nina in 1953. The eleventh depression, fourth named storm and second super typhoon of the 1956 Pacific typhoon season, Wanda originated as a tropical disturbance meandering around the Northern Mariana Islands. One day after initially being located, the disturbance was officially recognized as a tropical depression and shortly thereafter, a tropical storm. On July 27, the typhoon underwent rapid intensification where it quickly intensified into a strong typhoon. The typhoon reached its peak intensity on July 30, where the Japan Meteorological Agency estimated barometric pressure of 905 hPa (mbar) and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center estimated 1-minute sustained winds of 295 km/h (183 mph). The typhoon made landfall in Ningbo on August 1, where it quickly weakened and eventually dissipated.
