The 1935 Labor Day hurricane, with a pressure of 892 mbar (hPa; 26.34 inHg), is the third strongest Atlantic hurricane and the strongest documented tropical cyclone prior to 1950. [11] Since the measurements taken during Wilma and Gilbert were documented using dropsonde, this pressure remains the lowest measured over land. [63]
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]
This is the lowest central pressure on record for any Atlantic hurricane, [2] breaking the previous record of 888 mbar (26.2 inHg) set by Hurricane Gilbert in 1988. [4] Wilma's intensification rate broke all records in the basin, with a 24–hour pressure drop of 97 mbar (2.9 inHg); this also broke the record set by Gilbert.
The 1935 Labor Day hurricane, with a pressure of 892 mbar (hPa; 26.34 inHg), is the third strongest Atlantic hurricane and the strongest documented tropical cyclone before 1950. [12] Since the measurements taken during Wilma and Gilbert were documented using dropsonde, this pressure remains the lowest measured over land. [18]
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]
