Specific Tropical Cyclone Records

#1 Postby Foxfires » Fri Mar 17, 2023 6:13 am

As the topic title says, this is a list of specific tropical cyclone records. Everything on this list will consider tropical cyclones on a global scale unless stated otherwise and will be updated as record holders change. I have not seen another compiled worldwide list regarding specific records (Wikipedia has one for the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific, but the global records list is less specific), so I hope this is helpful or at least interesting information. This list is, as of typing this post, incomplete, so please feel free to provide information to fill in the gaps and/or correct any mistakes and false information that may be in the posts below (especially regarding ACE as many records are missing data and I manually counted most of them so it is prone to error).

These lists also contain less specific records as segues of sorts to the more specific records as it feels incomplete without them.

JTWC data will be used for a lot of the wind speed data outside of the western hemisphere.

These lists do not reflect the analysis and opinions of myself and others on this site nor on any other site other than that of government meteorological agencies and sites that contain data from said agencies. If you disagree with any of them feel free to state your opinion but I will not change the contents of the records list to fit that opinion and please be civil when doing so.

Originally, I wasn't going to add this, but there is a "Since 1966" section for lists including storms from before that period because people may feel annoyed by the reliability of data so old being included in these lists.

Feel free to suggest more sections and records for this list, which will be listed in "Miscellaneous" if I decide to add them.

Abbreviations:
TC: Tropical cyclone
TS: Tropical storm
C1-5: Category 1-5 (by 1-minute sustained winds for this list)
NA: North Atlantic
EP: Eastern North Pacific
CP: Central North Pacific
WP: Western North Pacific
NI: North Indian Ocean
SI: Southwest Indian Ocean
AU: Australian Region
SP: Southwest Pacific
ACE: Accumulated Cyclone Energy
CSU: Colorado State University
RSMC: Regional Specialized Meteorological Center
TCWC: Tropical cyclone warning center
JTWC: Joint Typhoon Warning Center
JMA: Japan Meteorological Agency
BoM: Bureau of Meteorology

* Most of this is aircraft reconnaissance-based. Basin-wide routine aircraft reconnaissance in the Western North Pacific (WP) ended in 1987 and is unavailable outside the Northeastern Pacific and North Atlantic.
** Unverified reading of ~878mb (adjusted to sea level pressure) produced in WP Meranti 2016 at 20.83N.
*** JMA estimate; lowest 700mb height was 2095m (885.45mb per C. L. Jordan (1958)’s equation for estimating surface pressure in tropical cyclones from 700mb height) and lacked a dropsonde reading.
**** 880mb measured in AU Mahina 1899; unverified by the BoM.
***** 700mb height does not support this pressure.
****** Operational analysis; will update when best track comes out.

Miscellaneous


Latitude*

Lowest Latitude TC: WP Vamei 2001 - 1.4N**
Highest Latitude TC: NA Unnamed 1896 - 60.8N (since 1966: NA Hope 1978 - 59.5N)
Lowest Latitude Hurricane-Strength TC: WP Sarah 1956 - 3.6N*** (since 1966: see footnote)
Highest Latitude Hurricane-Strength TC: NA Unnamed 1896 - 60.0N (since 1966: NA Unnamed 1971 - 58N)
Lowest Latitude Major: WP Kate 1970 - 4.4N
Highest Latitude Major: NA Unnamed 1878 - 47.5N (since 1966: NA Ella 1978 - 45N)
Lowest Latitude C5: WP Bopha 2012 - 7.4N
Highest Latitude C5: WP Vera 1959 - 32.22N (since 1966: NA Camille 1969 - 30.3N)
Lowest Latitude Sub-900mb TC: WP Amy 1971 - 9.9N
Highest Latitude Sub-900mb TC: WP Flo 1990 - 26.15N

Lowest By Basin
North Atlantic: Isidore 1990 - 7.2N
Eastern North Pacific: Adolph 1983 - 7.1N
Central North Pacific: Pali 2016 - 1.9N
Western North Pacific: Vamei 2001 - 1.4N
North Indian: Fani 2019 - 3.2N**
Southwest Indian: Unnamed 2002 - 2.5S****
Australian Region: Bernie 1982 - 4.78S
Southwest Pacific: Raquel 2015 - 4.07S

* Major and C5 follow 1-min sustained winds.
** JTWC lists NI Agni 2004 to have been a TS at 0.7N.
*** JMA does not list wind speed for storms prior to 1977 so JTWC data is being used here; however, the JTWC considers WP Vamei 2001 to have been a typhoon at 1.5N but the JMA does not consider the storm to have reached typhoon intensity. The runner up to both storms is WP Bopha 2012 at 4.1N.
****IBTrACS lists the nature of the storm as “TS” at this time, however Wikipedia states that the MFR classified the storm at 3.1S. The runner up to this according to Wikipedia is Fabien 2023 at 3.0S.

** Most of this is aircraft reconnaissance-based. Basin-wide routine aircraft reconnaissance in the Western North Pacific (WP) ended in 1987 and is unavailable outside the Northeastern Pacific (which even then is sparse) and North Atlantic.
*** Deepening is higher but the rest of it lies outside the listed parameters.
**** Cannot gauge 24h intensification because it weakened prior to explosive intensification then peaked within the listed time period.

-Oh definitely, but there have never been to 60+ ACE storms in the same year (or maybe Rita '78..) so the chances of 2 80+ ACE storms in the same year, both beating Ioke, are horribly low. Not to say it can't happen at some point in Earth's timeline. Of course, I don't choose when super rare occurrences happen.

-Did they? Because Vamei is still frequently listed as the lowest latitude TC so I assumed that was the official. If the MFR considers Agni to have been a tropical cyclone while South of the equator then I'll change it, because the IMD doesn't.

I'm not sure, I read somewhere that they claimed it did, but I'm unsure about if they still claim Agni crossed.

Yes I'm commenting on my own list. I mean, I made the list but I didn't make the TCs or did I.

-I am in denial that Dianmu has June's highest single-storm ACE count. It feels like there should be something more but I can't find anything that would beat it.
-Ah yes of course 1997's highest ACE and longest lasting storm, which is also a 70+ ACE storm, is a December storm in the Northern Hemisphere (because it's obviously peak season there). Happens all the time.
-I actually don't know if any 2020 storm reached 30 ACE because it doesn't look like it. I should probably go count like 10 storms and see.
-The longevity section is definitely very diverse and definitely isn't mostly taken up by the manspreading of like 3 storms. Now why would you think that?
-So if any of you are wondering why the most amount of rapid/explosive deepening cycles goes to Billie and not Freddy, it's because Freddy did not complete any rapid/explosive deepening cycles. So that's mostly why I'm torn between believing that there must be something more than 2, but also struggling to find storms that hit 2 in the first place. Now, I'm following JTWC data here but MeteoFrance set its lowest pressure at 931mb so I'm not expecting their data to accommodate its deepening.
-I'm not doing a damage/deaths section because exact numbers vary greatly at the high end of death tolls.

-Just curious, if you could add storms to the 60+ ACE list (because you think they were underestimated in ACE and should have a place there), what storms would those be?

I know this thread doesn't get much attention but I made this here other list for some other project and I thought I might as well put it here too in case someone for some reason needs it. It is manually counted so again, feel free to correct me. I'm not putting this on the main list because it's a bit too specific and therefore takes up a lot of space. This is a list of longevity records (from 1966 to present) for every intensity from 35-180kt by 1-minute maximum sustained winds (NHC/CPHC/JTWC).

180kt+: 0.75 days (Patricia '15)
175kt+: 0.75 days (Patricia '15) ^
170kt+: 0.75 days (Patricia '15) ^
165kt+: 0.75 days (Haiyan '13, Patricia '15, Meranti '16)
160kt+: 1 day (Haiyan '13, Meranti '16)
155kt+: 1.75 days (Angela '95, Meranti '16)
150kt+: 2 days (Chaba '04)
145kt+: 3 days (Chaba '04)
140kt+: 3.75 days (Mangkhut '18)
135kt+: 5 days (Ioke '06)
130kt+: 7.25 days (Ioke '06)
125kt+: 7.75 days (Ioke '06)
120kt+: 7.75 days (Ioke '06) ^
115kt+: 9.5 days (Ioke '06)
110kt+: 10.25 days (Ioke '06)
105kt: 10.25 days (Ioke '06) ^
100kt+: 11.25 days (Ioke '06)
95kt+: 11.75 days (Ioke '06)
90kt+: 13.25 days (Ioke '06, Freddy '23)
85kt+: 13.5 days (Ioke '06, Freddy '23)
80kt+: 15 days (Freddy '23)
75kt+: 15.5 days (Freddy '23)
70kt+: 17.25 days (Freddy '23)
65kt+: 19.5 days (Ginger '71)
60kt+: 21 days (Freddy '23)
55kt+: 22.25 days (Freddy '23)
50kt+: 23.5 days (Freddy '23)
45kt+: 26 days (Freddy '23)
40kt+: 27.75 days (John '94)
35kt+: 28.75 days (John '94)

If anyone's curious, the project was just a stat test to see the maximum possible ACE for a storm that loses every longevity record by 0.5 days, so I had to figure out every longevity record. The result was 102.025 units. Realistically, a storm of that magnitude would most likely beat multiple of the stats listed above, but if it didn't, it would be possible.

I personally find it amusing how below-140kt is dominated by 2 storms and then you get to 140kt and higher and it's some kind of war zone (although I would personally argue a single system not listed there dominates most of it, but I digress).

Edit: Forgot to mention that Freddy's stats on that list are operational stats, and I will revise the list when the best track comes out.

So the last list was total longevity, but because I was bored, here's one for consecutive longevity records. Again, satellite era only definitely not because I'm lazy and by 1-min maximum sustained winds (NHC/CPHC/JTWC).

160kt+: 1 days (Haiyan '13, Meranti '16)
155kt+: 1.75 days (Angela '95, Meranti '16)
150kt+: 1.75 days (Angela '95, Meranti '16, Irma '17)
145kt+: 2.5 days (Irma '17)
140kt+: 3.75 days (Mangkhut '18)

Update

-Added "By Month", with subsections "Tropical Storms", "Hurricane-Strength Tropical Cyclones", and "Majors" to the "Quantity" section
-Split the "Accumulated Cyclone Energy" section into "Multi-Storm Totals" and "Individual Storms". Added "Multi-Storm Totals", with subsections "By Basin" and "By Month".

Notes:
-Finished the "By Year" subsection of the "Accumulated Cyclone Energy" section.
-Fixed some mistakes.

It's been a while since I've said anything here. I have been slowly adding and correcting, however. Anyway, I thought it would be a good enough opportunity to revive this thread with notes on recent corrections, updates, and additions to the Intensification/Deepening section.

-I erroneously put Ernie as SI despite it being an Aussie, so that has been corrected
-I previously did not check Linda 1997's deepening rate for some reason, which is 81mb/24h, so that has been added to the top 10 list
-With the JTWC's best track for 2022 WPac out, Noru's intensification has been upped to 100kt/24h
-With the recent 90kt/24h intensification of Otis this year, it has been added to the top 10 list, removing everything that was in 10th place (85kt/24h) from the list
-Edited Olga 1970's deepening to 70mb/11.8h for June because the rest of it was in July
-Finally went ahead and properly corrected the records for Jan-Mar; I did say Heta and Winston were subject to change

I recall reading somewhere that NW Pacific intense typhoons in the 1960's well into cat 5 strength tended to have their 1-min sustained wind overestimated and numerous 180+kt records are likely biased high, so it is questionable whether including super-typhoons before around 1970 in sustained wind speed records is strictly valid.

This is true for some typhoons prior to ~1966, yes.
That's the point of the "since 1966" sections (the year commonly called the satellite era), to exclude storms from before that due to potentially unreliable data.

Personally, I also believe some of typhoons from the 70s and 80s are underestimated in wind speed and deserve to be on this list, but agency data is agency data, and that's the point of this list.

I forgot to mention I actually came across the document some time ago. It seems they considered it a low but not a TC while South of the equator so this will not be added to the list. Interesting nonetheless.
