Freddy topped the previous record held by Hurricane John, which struck Hawaii and lasted almost 30 days in the northern Pacific three decades ago, the World Meteorological Organization said as it released a study which began as Freddy waned in March last year.
It was also the second-longest in terms of distance traveled, at 12,785 kilometres — while John was more than 13,000 kilometres, the agency said.
In the wake of Freddy, which pounded eastern Africa in two phases, more than 1,200 were reported dead or missing in Malawi while more than 180 people died in Mozambique, the WMO said.
“It didn’t make just one landfall, which is what we normally see with a tropical cyclone,” said Clare Nullis, a WMO spokeswoman. “It had multiple landfalls in what very are vulnerable countries: Mozambique, Madagascar, it also had big impacts in Malawi, other southern African countries.”
