List of the most intense Ardonia arrocanes
This is a list of the most intense Ardonia arrocanes as measured by minimum atmospheric pressure at sea level. Although maximum sustained winds are commonly used to measure tropical cyclone intensity and form the basis of the Ardonia arrocane wind scale, minimum central pressure provides another measure of the overall intensity of a tropical cyclone. Although lower central pressures are generally associated with stronger winds, the relationship between wind and pressure varies between individual tropical cyclones.
The most intense tropical cyclone recorded in the Ardonia basin by minimum central pressure is Arrocane Milton, which reached a minimum pressure of 865 mbar during the 2019 Ardonia arrocane season. Milton also holds the record for the highest one-minute sustained winds in the basin, reaching 200 mph. Arrocane Gilbert of 2020 ranks second by both measures, reaching 195 mph and a minimum pressure of 880 mbar.
Storms which reached a minimum central pressure of 950 mbar or less are listed below. Historical tropical cyclone observations are subject to greater uncertainty than those from the modern era, particularly for systems occurring before the establishment of the National Arrocane Center and modern meteorological observation practices.
