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).
In terms of wind speed, Allen from 1980 was the strongest Atlantic tropical cyclone on record, with maximum sustained winds of 190 mph (310 km/h). For many years, it was thought that Hurricane Camille also attained this intensity, but this conclusion was changed in 2014.
Fastest seafloor current produced by a tropical cyclone: 2.25 m/s (5 mph; 5 kn; 10 km/h) September 16, 2004: Hurricane Ivan in the north Atlantic Ocean [32] [33] Fastest updraft produced in a tropical cyclone: 27.4 m/s (60 mph; 55 kn; 100 km/h) October 23, 2015: Hurricane Patricia in the northeast Pacific Ocean [34] Highest forward speed
The world's highest wind speed recorded in person — 231 miles an hour — occurred here in April 1934. It is still the global record. The only faster speed — 253 mph — was registered at an ...
By 10-minute sustained wind speed, the strongest tropical cyclone in the South-West Indian Ocean was Cyclone Fantala. Storms with an intensity of 920 hPa (27.17 inHg) or less are listed. Storm information was less reliably documented and recorded before 1985. [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 ...
Peak Wind Speed: 175 mph. Deaths: 65. What happened: The Category 5 hurricane is considered one of the most destructive hurricanes to hit Florida. Andrew was the costliest hurricane in Florida’s ...
Beaufort recording the fastest wind speed at 66 mph, according to reports uploaded by the NWS. Mount Pleasant, and Daniel and Hilton Head islands registered the lowest wind speed at 30 mph.
