Questions about August 8

What is the strongest storm on record on August 8?

Of the storms active on August 8, Hurricane Allen (1980) had the highest peak wind recorded by a U.S. agency: 165 kt (190 mph), 1-minute sustained (NHC). That is the storm's peak over its whole life, which may fall on another day. Agencies that average wind over 10 minutes report lower numbers for the same storm.

Has a storm ever made landfall on August 8?

Yes. 48 storms on record came ashore on August 8. The most recent was Hurricane Debby (2024): landfall near Bulls Bay, South Carolina (subtropical storm). Some coast crossings are estimated from the track, and each one is labelled.

How many storms were active on August 8?

419 storms on record were active on August 8, in 141 different years from 1860 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.

Sources. Storm tracks and events from NOAA's best-track archives, exactly as the Hurricane Calendar app shows them. Dates are calendar dates in UTC. 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.
