The most intense tropical cyclone in the North Indian Ocean by both sustained winds and central pressure was the 1999 Odisha cyclone, with 3-minute sustained winds of 260 km/h (160 mph) and a minimum pressure of 912 hPa (26.93 inHg). Storms with an intensity of 950 hPa (28.05 inHg) or less are listed.
The 10 costliest Atlantic hurricanes as of January 2023.. As of November 2024, there have been 1,745 tropical cyclones of at least tropical storm intensity, 971 at hurricane intensity, and 338 at major hurricane intensity within the Atlantic Ocean since 1851, the first Atlantic hurricane season to be included in the official Atlantic tropical cyclone record.

The hurricane seasons of those two hurricanes, the 2005 and 2017 Atlantic hurricane seasons, are also the third costliest, and most costly hurricane seasons recorded. Most of the costliest Atlantic hurricanes in recorded history have peaked as major hurricanes. However, weaker tropical cyclones can still cause widespread damage. Tropical storms ...
The most active month for hurricanes or tropical storms is September, while the least active month is May globally, according to NOAA. So far, there have been 1,727 tropical cyclones of at least ...
Hurricane Ian is the ninth category 4 or 5 hurricane to hit the mainland U.S. in the last 50 years—six of which have occurred since 2017.

The 1935 Labor Day hurricane was the most intense hurricane to make landfall on the country, having struck the Florida Keys with a pressure of 892 mbar.It was one of only seven hurricanes to move ashore as a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale; the others were "Okeechobee" in 1928, Karen in 1962, Camille in 1969, Andrew in 1992, Michael in 2018, and Yutu in 2018, which ...
^α Although Luis produced the highest confirmed wave height for a tropical cyclone, it is possible that Hurricane Ivan produced a wave measuring 131 feet (40 m). [41]^β It is believed that reconnaissance aircraft overestimated wind speeds in tropical cyclones from the 1940s to the 1960s, and data from this time period is generally considered unreliable.
