The lowest pressure ever recorded in a storm to be labeled a hurricane was 882 mb (millibars) in Hurricane Wilma in 2005.

However, Typhoon Tip (a typhoon is really just a hurricane in the western Pacific) had a recorded pressure of 870 mb.

What was the world's most powerful hurricane?

Hurricane Allen (1980) is the second of only two hurricanes in the recorded history of the Atlantic basin to achieve sustained winds of 190 mph (310 km/h), after Hurricane Camille in 1969. Hurricane Wilma (2005) was the most intense hurricane ever recorded in the Atlanic basin. The pressure measured in Wilma, 882 mb, is currently the lowest recorded pressure for a tropical cyclone in the Atlantic Basin, as well as the lowest pressure for any cyclone measured in the Western Hemisphere. It also reached its 882 mbar pressure in a span of 24 hours, making it the fastest pressure drop of any storm in the Atlantic Basin. At its peak intensity, the eye of Wilma was about 3 miles (5 km) in diameter, the smallest known eye of an Atlantic hurricane. Late on October 21 Wilma made landfall on Cozumel and later on the Mexican mainland with winds of about 150 mph (240 km/h).


What is thelowest atmosheric pressure ever recorded at sea level?

870 millibars, which was recorded on October 12 1979. This was at the center of Typhoon Tip, a category 5 Typhoon. It ended up hitting Japan as a weak typhoon, but reached this intensity well south of Japan.

What is the lowest pressure of hurricane Matthew?

It is low, but the exact pressure varies, generally the lower the pressure, the stronger the hurricane. Most have pressures less than 995 millibars. On rare occasions the pressure in the very strongest of hurricanes can drop below 900 millibars.
