Of the storms active on April 10, Cyclone Fantala (2015–16) had the highest peak wind recorded by a U.S. agency: 155 kt (178 mph), 1-minute sustained (JTWC).

How many storms were active on April 10?

160 storms on record were active on April 10, in 100 different years from 1859 to 2026. The count uses calendar dates in UTC and covers every ocean basin in NOAA's IBTrACS archive and the National Hurricane Center's HURDAT2.

Each wind speed keeps the agency that recorded it and its averaging period; nothing is converted between agencies. A missing value is shown as not recorded, never as zero. Storms that may still have been active when the archive was updated are left out.
