Tropical Cyclone Records

Tropical Cyclone Intensification Records

In the Atlantic Hurricane Gilbert went from 960 mb to 888 mb in a 24 hour period for a 3 mb/hr pressure drop. The winds went from 57 to 82 m/s (110 kt to 160 kt, 127 mph to 184 mph) in that 24 hour period. And Hurricane Beulah in 1967 underwent a 6.33 mb/hr drop over a six hour period.


Beulah dropped 34mb in six hours if my math is correct.
Gilbert dropped 72 mb in 24 hours.

If I've learned anything in the day I've been here, its to take what wxmann_91 says...and use the opposite as a prediction.
