Description:
The correct answer is:
✅ 31 days
Record Holder: Hurricane John (1994)
Duration: August 11 – September 10, 1994 (31 days as a named storm).
Peak Intensity: Category 5 (175 mph winds).
Path: Crossed the entire Pacific Ocean, covering 7,165 miles—the longest track ever recorded.
Why Not Longer?
Most hurricanes last 1–2 weeks before weakening over land/cold water.
Hurricane/Typhoon Freddy (2023) lasted 5+ weeks with breaks (not continuous).
Fun Fact: John was nicknamed the "Hurricane That Wouldn’t Die"! 🌪️💀
Note: The official record counts continuous tropical cyclone status. 🌊🌀
