Freddy holds the record for the longest-lasting tropical cyclone worldwide in recorded history, pending a formal investigation to be conducted by the World Meteorological Organization, in order to determine whether Freddy truly tied or surpassed John's record. Freddy also holds the record for the all-time highest accumulated cyclone energy of a tropical cyclone worldwide, with an ACE of 87.01, breaking the former record of 85.26, set by Hurricane Ioke in 2006. Additionally, Freddy was the first tropical cyclone to undergo seven separate rounds of rapid intensification.
