It varies. Irene was a high end category 2 with a pressure of around 942, but often that pressure would give you a a little bit stronger of a hurricane (maybe 120-130mph).

How many millibars are in a category one Hurricane?
A Category 1 Hurricane has 980 Millibars or greater, however, to be a C1 Hurricane, its Wind Speed has to be 75-95 MPH.
Did hurricane Irene 2011 break worlds most intense hurricane in world records?
No. Not even close. There are two main measures of hurricane intensity: wind speed and barometric pressure. Hurricane Irene is already past its peak of 120 mph winds and a pressure of 942 millibars (the lower the pressure, the stronger the storm). The strongest Hurricane on record in terms of wind speed was Hurricane Camille at 190 mph. The most intense tropical cyclone (generic term for hurricane, typhoon etc.) on recordwas Typhoon Tip with a pressure of 870 millibars.
What are component of weather?
The components of weather are:Temperature (degrees celsius)sunshine (how bright it is)cloud cover (oktas)precipitation (how much rain/hail/sleet/snow... there is)wind speed (wind strenght)wind direction (place the wind is coming from)atmospheric pressure (low or high pressure) measured in millibars (mb)
How do air pressure and hurricane strength relate?
Lower pressure generally means higher wind speed. The relationship is approximately 1050-mm=Kt where mm is the pressure in millibars of mercury and Kt is the wind speed in knots. 1 knot = 1.15 mph. At extremely low pressures, the relationship can become a bit skewed due to eyewall replacement cycles but the formula is a good rule of thumb. Examples: Katrina (2005) Min pressure 902mm, max wind 150kt. Hugo (1989) min pressure 918mm, max wind 140kt.
What is 25.69 inches in millibars?
Approximately 871 millibars.
Does a wind vane measure in millibars?
A wind vane measures direction of the wind. Millibars are a measure of pressure. A barometer measures in millibars.
What measures wind pressure?
Barometer measures atmospheric pressure Anemometer measures wind speed

An anemometer is used to measure?
An anemometer is used for measuring the speed of wind,
What is wind speed measured in?
Wind Speed Is measured In Knots.No, a wind vane only gives wind direction. Wind speed is measure with an anemometer.
Is a wind vane considered as a wind speed?
No. A wind vane is an instrument that can tell wind speed but not wind direction.
How can you calculate wind speed from zonal wind speed?
wind speed = squrt(u^2+v^2).
How many millibars are equal to 27.23 of mercury?
27.23 inches of mercury is 922.1 millibars.
