It was also the longest-lasting tropical cyclone on record globally at the time, until it was surpassed by Cyclone Freddy in 2023. [1] John formed during the 1994 Pacific hurricane season , which had above-average activity due to the El Niño of 1994–1995, [ 2 ] and peaked as a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson scale , the highest ...

Tropical cyclones are named by various weather agencies when they attain maximum sustained winds of 35 knots (65 km/h; 40 mph). So far, 119 systems have formed this year, with 83 of them being named. The most intense storm of the year so far is Hurricane Milton, with a minimum barometric pressure of 897 hPa (26.49 inHg). [1]
The storm moved eastward through Japan today, and national broadcaster NHK reported record levels of rainfall, with the storm taking the roof off of several houses and flooding roads in the southwest.
Christopher C. Burt, a weather historian writing for Weather Underground, believes that the 1913 Death Valley reading is "a myth", and is at least 2.2 or 2.8 °C (4 or 5 °F) too high. [13] Burt proposes that the highest reliably recorded temperature on Earth could still be at Death Valley, but is instead 54.0 °C (129.2 °F) recorded on 30 ...
Year: 1980. Location: Made landfall on South Padre Island, Texas. Peak Wind Speed: 190 mph. Deaths: 269. What happened: Allen is considered to be the only hurricane in the history of the Atlantic ...
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. [9]
Due to its rugged topography, Taiwan sees extreme rain from tropical cyclones, particularly in its central mountain range. The heavy rains from Tropical Storm Talas triggered numerous landslides, such as this one in Kihō , across the mountainous terrain of Japan.
