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]
Record Date Tropical Cyclone and/or Location Ref(s) Highest overall rainfall: 6,083 mm (239.5 in) January 14, 1980 – January 28, 1980: Cyclone Hyacinthe in Reunion Island [2] Highest storm surge: 14.5 m (47.6 ft) March 5, 1899: Cyclone Mahina in Bathurst Bay, Queensland, Australia [3] Highest confirmed wave height α: 30 m (98.4 ft) September ...
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 ...
A Doppler on Wheels documented the largest-ever-observed core flow circulation with a distance of 1,600 m (5,200 ft) between peak velocities on either side of the tornado, and a roughly 7 km (4.3 mi) width of peak wind gusts exceeding 43 m/s (96 mph), making the Mulhall tornado the largest tornado ever measured quantitatively.

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).
Hurricane Ian winds. The top gust recorded by an NWS station was 155 miles per hour, and that burst hit the Punta Gorda airport. ... but the highest total Carlisle could find for Lee County was 14 ...
This tornado was among the strongest ever recorded and rated as F5/T11, indicating potential winds over 300 mph (480 km/h). The rating was assigned based on several surveys by German scientist Gottlob Burchard Genzmer. 5-to-10-centimetre-diameter (2.0 to 3.9 in) hail occurred during this tornado as well.
