A below-sea-level surface pressure record of 1,081.8 hPa (31.95 inHg) was set on 21 February 1961. [13] The lowest non-tornadic atmospheric pressure ever measured was 870 hPa (0.858 atm; 25.69 inHg), set on 12 October 1979, during Typhoon Tip in the western Pacific Ocean. The measurement was based on an instrumental observation made from a ...
On 26 January 1884, during the Ochtertyre storm the Ben Nevis summit weather station recorded a low pressure of 784.7 hPa (at high altitude (above 750 m) and not reduced to sea level) this is proposed as being almost certainly the lowest surface pressure ever recorded in the UK, [66] though due to altitude and not being a value reduced to sea ...
In January 1994, the air temperature was recorded at 18 below zero in Erie County. This was later matched on Feb. 16, 2015. Cold blast from the past: Lowest air temperature recorded in Erie was 30 ...
Most intense ever recorded on land: 892 hPa (26.35 inHg); Craig Key, Florida, United States, eye of the Labor Day Hurricane, 2 September 1935. While other landfalling tropical cyclones potentially had lower pressures, data is vague from areas other than the Atlantic basin , especially before the invention of weather satellites .
Pressure "landmarks": typical pressures reached by large-volume presses are up to 30–40 GPa, pressures that can be generated inside diamond anvil cells are ~1000 GPa, [2] pressure in the center of the Earth is 364 GPa, and highest pressures ever achieved in shock waves are over 100,000 GPa. [3]
Alaska holds the all-time U.S. record. The mercury plummeted to 80 degrees below zero on Jan. 23, 1971, in Prospect Creek, north of Fairbanks.
And in the case of eighth-graders, it was the lowest score ever recorded. (Scores were down last year and in 2023 as well.) Math scores for the test, from the National Assessment of Educational ...
