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.

What side is the low pressure of a hurricane?
The whole hurricane is a low pressure system. Pressure is lowest at the center of the storm.
What is hurricane pressure?
The barometric pressure of the air at the center, or eye, of the hurricane. Some of the lowest barometric pressures ever recorded have occured in the eyes of hurricanes. The lowest barometric pressure ever recorded on earth was recorded at the center of the "Labor Day Hurricane" of 1935 which struck the Florida Keys.
The eye of a hurricane is a center of what pressure?
The pressure in the eye of a hurricane is very low, among the lowest sea-level pressures on earth.
What is the lowest pressure ever recorded for a hurricane and what was its name?
The lowest pressure ever recorded in a storm dubbed a hurricane was 882 millibars in Hurricane Wilma (2005). However, hurricanes in other parts of the world are called by other names (the generic term is tropical cyclone). The lowest pressure recorded in a tropical cyclone was 870 millibars in Typhoon Tip (1979).
Does low or high pressure make the eye of a hurricane clear?
The eye of a hurricane is made clear by sinking air. The eye itself has the lowest pressure within the storm.
What side is the low pressure of a hurricane?
The whole hurricane is a low pressure system. Pressure is lowest at the center of the storm.
What is the lowest MB in hurricane history?
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.

Does low or high pressure make the eye of a hurricane clear?
The eye of a hurricane is made clear by sinking air. The eye itself has the lowest pressure within the storm.
Why does a hurricane reach its lowest pressure over water?
Warm ocean water is the source of power for a hurricane. If a hurricane moves over land it will be cut off from that power source, causing the storm to weaken and the pressure to rise.
Which one of these is part of a middle latitude low but not part of a tropical hurricane?
lowest pressure at the center
Why there is high pressure in hurricane's eye?
There isn't. The eye of a hurricane is an area of low pressure. In fact, the lowest sea level pressure occur in the eyes of extremely intense hurricanes. A hurricane is itself a strong low pressure system. Air rises and creates a pressure deficit. This is enhanced by the rapid rotation of the storm.
What part of a storm has the lowest surface air pressure?
The center or the "eye". Think of the Hurricane as a vortex that is sucking things up like a tornado. The winds are so powerful that you don't really see it sucking. But that is why the sea rises as it approaches the coast. The low pressure is causing the water level to rise higher.
What is the lowest pressure on record for a tropical system?
The Labor Day Hurricane, Florida Keys, September 2, 1935, Category 5, 892 mb, Approaching 200 mph...hurricane Katrina was the third lowest at 920mb
Is hurricane Wilma the top hurricane?
By one measure, yes. At peak intensity Hurricane Wilma had the lowest pressure at it center of any recorded hurricane in the Atlantic: 882 millibars. The lower the pressure, the stronger the storm. For comparison, normal sea level pressure is 1013 millibars. The previous record-holder, Hurricane Gilbert, had a central pressure of 888 millibars.
