The monsoon trough that developed
Yvette and
Zack spawned another tropical depression on October 25 in conjunction with a tropical disturbance that originated in the Marshall Islands. It moved to the west, organizing very slowly, becoming a tropical storm on October 26. Two days later, Angela further intensified into a typhoon, and between October 31 and November 1, Angela rapidly intensified into a Category 5-equivalent super typhoon with 1-minute sustained winds of , while the
Japan Meteorological Agency reported peak 10-minute sustained winds of . It maintained that intensity before gradually weakening as it tracked westward, making landfall in the Philippines on November 2 with 1-minute sustained winds of –still at Category 5-equivalent intensity, becoming the strongest typhoon to hit the Philippines since
Typhoon Joan in 1970. Angela continued to the west-northwest, where upper-level winds caused it to dissipate on November 7 over the
Gulf of Tonkin. Although the
Japan Meteorological Agency, the official
Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre of the western Pacific, estimated a minimum central pressure of , the JTWC unofficially estimated a central pressure of , which would rank it high on the
list of most intense tropical cyclones, but still behind
Typhoon Tip, the most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded. However, Angela is an unofficial contender for world's most intense tropical cyclone. In a study utilizing the
Dvorak technique for analysis of post-1987 typhoons, the authors concluded that Angela and
Typhoon Gay in 1992 were higher on the scale than Tip. The authors also thought that Angela might have been slightly more intense than Gay, and hence Tip. == Effects ==
