NORTH ATLANTIC BASIN These records are held by Atlantic Hurricane s. SOUTH ATLANTIC BASIN Tropical cyclones rarely form in the South Atlantic Basin. Only three South Atlantic Tropical Cyclone s in the area have been confirmed.
EASTERN PACIFIC BASIN These records are held by Pacific Hurricane s. WESTERN PACIFIC BASIN Retired Names Names retired before 2000 were retired by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center . Ones retired during and after that year were retired by the Japan Meteorological Agency . PAGASA also retires names for typhoons and tropical storms that affect the Philippines. Significant Typhoons with Special Names Eight especially significant typhoons were named by Japan Meteorological Agency according to the area where they caused most damage. Other Named
Unnamed
Most active West Pacific seasons The following are the most active Western Pacific seasons, according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center best track. Only seasons with over 30 storms are included. NORTHERN INDIAN OCEAN This region has had some of the world's deadliest cyclones, but there is a dearth of organized information about them.
Most Active Seasons SOUTH PACIFIC OCEAN
SOUTH INDIAN OCEAN

MOST INTENSE STORMS ON RECORD This list includes Western Pacific storms with pressures of less than 885 mb and Atlantic, Eastern Pacific and South Pacific storms with pressure of less than 915 mb. Additional Western Pacific storms with pressures between 885 and 915 mb have been recorded, but these storms are neither exceptional for that basin nor all reliably measured. As for Indian Ocean storms, pressure readings are too scarce or too inaccurate to make a list reliable. As a result of the omissions of many Western Pacific storms, many storms near the bottom of the list are not numerically ranked. ''Notes'':
In addition, Hurricane Wilma was ''likely'' also the most intense storm ever recorded while at Category 4 intensity with a pressure of 894 mb at that time - which in itself would be the fourth most intense Atlantic hurricane on record. SIZE EXTREMES
These sizes indicate the distance from the center at which gale-force winds could be found {Link without Title} . HIGHEST STORM SURGE The three powerful hurricanes listed below caused very high storm surge. Hurricane Katrina had the highest recorded storm surge of any Atlantic hurricane and Hurricane Camille had the second-highest. Worldwide storm surge data is sparse. Cyclone Mahina is generally regarded as having had the highest storm surge ever recorded, although measurements from before modern times must be viewed with some skepticism. Storm Surge is enhanced by high winds and greater storm size. The shape of the coastline and the contour of the bottom near the coast are also significant factors. Hurricane Katrina was the largest Category 5 hurricane recorded in the Atlantic, and Hurricane Camille tied for the highest recorded windspeed; both struck an area vulnerable to high storm surge because of the shallow coastal waters.

EXTREME LATITUDES This list contains Tropical Cyclones that formed or moved to an extraordinary latitude. It can be extreme north (or south) latitude, or very equatorial cyclones.
YEAR-CROSSING NORTHERN HEMISPHERE STORMS This is a list of Northern Hemisphere storms that have crossed two calendar years. Because the Southern Hemisphere cyclone season runs across the New Year , Southern Hemisphere storms that cross calendar years are not exceptional. DOUBLE NAMED STORMS
TROPICAL CYCLONES AND AIRPLANE CRASHES Typhoon Wilma - ten crewmen died when a USAF B-29 crashed during the storm. Hurricane Janet -Two airplanes (one of them a hurricane hunter plane) crashed during the storm. Typhoon Emma - A Hurricane Hunter plane crashed during the storm. Hurricane Betsy (1956) - A DC-4 Crashed on while delivering supplies after the storm. Hurricane Esther - A Navy plane crashed several miles off the coast of Bermuda . Seven of the ten crewmen drowned. Typhoon Bess (1974) - A US Air force hurricane hunter plane crashed during the storm. There were no surviors. Hurricane Emmy - A Venezuelen Air force crashed during the storm while attempting to land. 68 people died. Tropical Storm Gamma - Three people were killed in a plane crash during Gamma's outer bands.
