The lowest confirmed barometric pressure reading, 955.0 mb (28.20 inHg), for a non-tropical system in the continental United States (CONUS) was recorded during this storm at Canton, New York. [2] [3] This broke the record low of this type set by the January 1886 Blizzard. The lowest pressure reading of this type was later equalled on March 7 ...
The following table lists the most intense Atlantic hurricanes in terms of their lowest barometric pressure. In terms of wind speed, Allen from 1980 was the strongest Atlantic tropical cyclone on record, with maximum sustained winds of 190 mph (310 km/h).
As the dropsonde did not reach the calm winds in the center, the pressure was estimated at 882 millibars (26.0 inHg), the lowest pressure in an Atlantic hurricane on record. The pressure continued to fall as the hurricane hunters left the hurricane, and it is possible the pressure was slightly lower. [ 1 ]
Christopher C. Burt, a weather historian writing for Weather Underground, believes that the 1913 Death Valley reading is "a myth", and is at least 2.2 or 2.8 °C (4 or 5 °F) too high. [13] Burt proposes that the highest reliably recorded temperature on Earth could still be at Death Valley, but is instead 54.0 °C (129.2 °F) recorded on 30 ...
A low pressure area detached from a stationary front and developed into a tropical depression on August 14 while located about 185 mi (298 km) west-southwest of Bermuda. [3] [4] The depression moved rapidly northeastward and intensified into a tropical storm on August 15. Thereafter, it peaked with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (72 km/h). [4]
