There were only 3 cat 5 typhoons that occurred in April on record, from JTWC best track those years were 1956, 1989 and 1997. So I guess it's safe to say this is a first in this basin since ADT records only go back to 2003
You missed Maysak in 2015 which was Cat 5 at 00Z on 1 April.
My bad, but ADT of Maysak only reached a peak of 7.0
