The HDP index was later modified to further include tropical storms, that is, all wind speeds of at least 34 knots (≥ 63 km/h; 39 mph), [4] to become the accumulated cyclone energy index. [6] The highest ACE calculated for a single tropical cyclone on record worldwide is 87.01, set by Cyclone Freddy in 2023. [7]

Hurricane Mitch 3D Satellite on Oct. 26, 1998. The Atlantic hurricane season officially began on June 1, and with the season underway, the potential for devastating storms could occur at any time.
If a tropical cyclone intensify further and reaches wind speeds of 90 knots (170 km/h; 100 mph), it will be classified as an intense tropical cyclone. A very intense tropical cyclone is the highest category on the South-West Indian Ocean Tropical Cyclone scale, and has winds of over 115 knots (213 km/h; 132 mph). [24] [25]
Another way to measure the hurricane season is to analyze each storm's power output, which meteorologists refer to as accumulated cyclone energy (ACE). The ACE of an entire hurricane season is ...
A very intense tropical cyclone is the highest category on the South-West Indian Ocean Tropical Cyclone scale, and has winds of over 115 knots (213 km/h; 132 mph). At the tenth RA I tropical cyclone committee held during 1991, it was recommended that the intensity classifications be changed ahead of the 1993–94 tropical cyclone season.
Atmospheric forces are so huge and so chaotic that technically cloud seeding “is way too small a scale to create what happened,” Maue said. Extra rainfall from cloud seeding would have been ...
The Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) index for the 2016 Pacific typhoon season as calculated by Colorado State University using data from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center was 261.9 units. [20] Broadly speaking, ACE is a measure of the power of a tropical or subtropical storm multiplied by the length of time it existed.
