A hurricane that has brought heavy rains to Mexico and Central
America was today named as the strongest Atlantic storm since
records began.

Hurricane Wilma's highest sustained winds were measured at 175
mph by US air force reconnaissance planes, while its pressure
readings dropped to 882 millibars - the lowest minimum pressure
ever measured in a hurricane in the Atlantic basin.

Forecasters at the US national hurricane centre in Miami said
Wilma was stronger than the devastating September 1935
hurricane that hit the Florida Keys, which was the strongest
recorded Atlantic hurricane to make landfall.
