As of 08Z on September 21st, 2025, drifting buoy "7810602" recorded a sea level pressure of 900.3 mb at the center of Supertyphoon Ragasa, a measurement that may represent the lowest pressure ever recorded by a buoy in a tropical cyclone. Earlier, at 06:34Z, the same buoy registered 924.8 mb in the eyewall of the Category 5 storm. Further data from the buoy indicates wind speeds of 34.4 m/s, equivalent to approximately 67 knots, were recorded at 06:04Z on the same day. This information was shared via X by meteorologist "doomhaMwx", who also noted a correction regarding the buoy's position in earlier plots, clarifying the 924.8 mb reading was taken in the eyewall, not the eye. Super Typhoon Ragasa continues to maintain its Category 5 strength in the West Pacific. Previous advisories from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on September 21st, 2025, had issued a thunderstorm advisory for Metro Manila and surrounding provinces due to moderate to heavy rainshowers, lightning, and strong winds.
