A collage of ten of the strongest tropical cyclones
In the available records, a total of 78 tropical cyclones attained a pressure of 900 hPa (mbar) (26.56 inHg) or less, most of which occurred in the Western North Pacific Ocean. The strongest tropical cyclone recorded worldwide, as measured by minimum central pressure, was Typhoon Tip, which reached a pressure of 870 hPa (25.69 inHg) on October 12, 1979.[1] The following list is subdivided by basins. Data listed are provided by the official Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre, unless otherwise noted. On October 23, 2015, Hurricane Patricia attained the strongest 1-minute sustained winds on record at 215 mph (345 km/h).[2]

Cyclone Zoe at peak intensity
Cyclone Pam near peak intensity
Storms with an intensity of 920 hPa (27.17 inHg) or less are listed. A total of 16 cyclones are listed down below reaching/surpassing that intensity, which most of them occurred during El Niño seasons. Tropical cyclones that have been recorded since the start of the 1969–70 Tropical Cyclone year and have reached their peak intensity to the west of 160E are included in the list. The most intense tropical cyclone in the south Pacific, Cyclone Zoe of 2002, is also the most intense storm in the Southern Hemisphere. By 10-minute sustained wind speed, the strongest tropical cyclone in the south Pacific is Cyclone Pam.

Hurricane Catarina near peak intensity
Due to the fact that tropical cyclones in the South Atlantic are rare, there is no official tropical cyclone season for this region. Despite this, there have been several significant tropical cyclones in the South Atlantic region, notably Hurricane Catarina in March 2004. Tropical and subtropical cyclones with an intensity of below 1000 hPa (29.53 inHg) are listed.
| Cyclone | Season | Peak 1-min sustained winds |
Pressure |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1974 South Atlantic | 1974 | 45 km/h (30 mph) | 988 hPa (29.18 inHg) |
| Catarina | 2004 | 155 km/h (100 mph) | 972 hPa (28.70 inHg) |
| Anita | 2010 | 85 km/h (50 mph) | 995 hPa (29.38 inHg) |
| Arani | 2011 | 85 km/h (50 mph) | 989 hPa (29.21 inHg) |
| Bapo | 2015 | 65 km/h (40 mph) | 992 hPa (29.29 inHg) |
| Cari | 2015 | 65 km/h (40 mph) | 998 hPa (29.47 inHg) |
