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]
Also became the most intense landfalling tropical cyclone on record, impacting with same pressure; Typhoon Goni (2020) – A Category 5-equivalent super typhoon that became the strongest landfalling storm on record, with 1-minute sustained winds of 195 mph (314 km/h) Typhoon Haiyan (2013) - The deadliest Philippine typhoon in modern history
Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) on November 7, 2013, one of the strongest Pacific typhoons ever recorded.. Since 1947, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) has classified all typhoons in the Northwestern Pacific Ocean with wind speeds of at least 130 knots (67 m/s; 150 mph; 240 km/h)—the equivalent of a strong Category 4 on the Saffir–Simpson scale, as super typhoons.

There were at least 76 tropical cyclones in the 20th century with a death toll of 1,000 or more, including the deadliest tropical cyclone in recorded history. In November 1970, the Bhola cyclone struck what is now Bangladesh and killed at least 300,000 people.
Most severe alert. China’s Central Meteorological Agency renewed its red typhoon warning, the most severe alert, on Friday morning for Hainan and Guangdong.
Most intense (10-minute maximum sustained winds) 78.2 m/s (175 mph; 152.0 kn; 282 km/h) February 20, 2016: Cyclone Winston in the south Pacific Ocean [16] Most intense (lowest central pressure) 870 mb (870.0 hPa; 25.7 inHg) October 12, 1979: Typhoon Tip in the northwest Pacific Ocean [17] [18] Most intense at landfall (1-minute maximum ...
Violent typhoon is the highest category used by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) to classify tropical cyclones in the Northwest Pacific basin. The basin is limited to the north of the equator between the 100th meridian east and the 180th meridian .
Between 1979 and 2016, typhoons increased in duration by two to nine hours and penetrated 30 to 190 kilometers farther inland, the researchers found. The study was published in the journal ...
