The most intense storm by lowest pressure and peak 10-minute sustained winds was Typhoon Tip, which was also the most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded in terms of minimum central pressure. Storms with a minimum pressure of 899 hPa (26.55 inHg) or less are listed. Storm information was less reliably documented and recorded before 1950. [6]
This is the lowest central pressure on record for any Atlantic hurricane, [2] breaking the previous record of 888 mbar (26.2 inHg) set by Hurricane Gilbert in 1988. [4] Wilma's intensification rate broke all records in the basin, with a 24–hour pressure drop of 97 mbar (2.9 inHg); this also broke the record set by Gilbert.
However, with a barometric pressure of 895 mbar (hPa; 26.43 inHg), Rita is the strongest tropical cyclone ever recorded in the Gulf of Mexico. [64] In between Rita and Katrina is Hurricane Allen. Allen's pressure was measured at 899 mbar. Hurricane Camille is the sixth strongest hurricane on record.
The most intense hurricane on record is Wilma in 2005, with a minimum central pressure of 882 millibars, followed by Gilbert in 1988, the Labor Day hurricane of 1935, and Rita in 2005.
Near the time of landfall, the hurricane was documented as having a central pressure of 952 mbar (952 hPa; 28.1 inHg) at Tulane University. [1] At the time, this was the lowest pressure ever recorded in the United States. [4]
The hurricane center's forecast for Helene's rapid transition from unnamed storm to Cat 3 hurricane may be the fastest ever. ... pressure that could put it among the lowest ever recorded in the ...
According to the record books, Oscar is the first hurricane to have hurricane-force winds less than 11.5 miles across, he said. Tiny Hurricane Oscar on Oct. 19, 2024.
Its minimum pressure of 899 millibars was the second-lowest pressure on record for the basin at the time. The major hurricane was also very large at this time, with hurricane-force winds extending 144 mi (232 km) from its center and tropical-storm-force winds extending 345 miles. [ 3 ]
