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]
Hurricane Opal, the most intense Category 4 hurricane recorded, intensified to reach a minimum pressure of 916 mbar (hPa; 27.05 inHg), [54] a pressure typical of Category 5 hurricanes. [55] Nonetheless, the pressure remains too high to list Opal as one of the ten strongest Atlantic tropical cyclones. [11]
Milton reached its peak intensity at 00:00 UTC on October 8 with maximum sustained winds of 180 mph (285 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 897 mbar (26.49 inHg), the most intense since Wilma in 2005, making Milton the fifth-most intense Atlantic hurricane on record.
The storm had a minimum central pressure of 28.17 inches. ... Category 1: A Minimal Hurricane. Winds: 74-95 mph. Minimum surface pressure: higher than 980 mbar. Storm surge: 3-5 feet.
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.
The hurricane accelerated westward into an area of highly favorable conditions, and began to rapidly intensify late on August 22; in a 24‑hour period the atmospheric pressure dropped by 47 mbar (1.388 inHg) to a minimum of 922 mbar (27.23 inHg). [6]
The minimum central pressure based on data collected from the Air Force and NOAA Hurricane Hunters is 988 millibars. Anything greater than 979 mb is one indicator a storm could cause minimal damage.
06:00 UTC (2:00 a.m. AST) at – Hurricane Lee intensifies to Category 5 strength, and simultaneously reaches peak intensity with maximum sustained winds of 165 mph (270 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 926 mbar (27.34 inHg), several hundred miles east of the Leeward Islands
