Category 5 tropical cyclones of the 2019 to 2022 seasons

Map of 13 locations · Worldwide

A historical run of storms from the 2019 to 2022 seasons that reached the top of the Saffir-Simpson scale, drawn from across the Atlantic, the western North Pacific and both Indian Ocean basins. Each entry follows one system from formation to its landfalls or its dissipation at sea, with the wind and pressure figures the agencies recorded at peak. Some crossed densely populated coasts, others spent their whole lives over open water.
