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]
The fastest wind speed not related to tornadoes ever recorded was during the passage of Tropical Cyclone Olivia on 10 April 1996: an automatic weather station on Barrow Island, Australia, registered a maximum wind gust of 113.3 m/s (408 km/h; 253 mph; 220.2 kn; 372 ft/s) [6] [7] The wind gust was evaluated by the WMO Evaluation Panel, who found ...
^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.
On May 3, 1999, an F5 tornado struck Bridge Creek and Moore, Oklahoma, with winds of over 300 mph - the highest wind speed ever recorded on Earth. Nearly 600 people were injured, and 36 were ...
Within this area, a mobile Doppler weather radar initially recorded winds of 301 mph (484 km/h) within the tornado at Bridge Creek – subsequent reanalysis in 2021 revised this value to 321 mph (517 km/h), the highest wind speed ever recorded on Earth. [1] [21] Since the record for maximum winds are reported from only non-tornadic events ...
Fastest ever recorded: 484±32 km/h (301±20 mph) (3-second gust); calculated by a DOW (Doppler On Wheels) radar unit in the 1999 Bridge Creek–Moore tornado between Oklahoma City and Moore, Oklahoma, USA, 3 May 1999. Recently, the wind speeds were re-examined and adjusted to a maximum official wind speed of 321 mph (516.6 km/h).
Winds were recorded at 145 mph and destroyed 1,421 houses. ... and it also produced the highest wind gusts ever recorded in Honolulu. ... Hiki formed in August 1950 and packed wind gusts of 85 mph ...
At Karratha, the winds were gusting to 70 mph (110 km/h). Cape Lambert experienced sustained winds of 95 mph (153 km/h) for a five-hour period with gusts reaching 130 mph (210 km/h). [9] In March 2000, Tropical Storm Tessi made landfall near Townsville, Queensland, Australia. A weather station recorded the towns record wind gust of 81 mph (130 ...
