Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hurricanes (or typhoons) are known for having the lowest barometric pressures on Earth, with some dropping as low as 870 millibars. Frontal systems and sea level can both have varying barometric pressures but are not necessarily the lowest. Cold and dry climates are not generally associated with low barometric pressures.
