Extreme latitudes and longitudes[]
- Tropical Storm Matthew formed at 7.3 degrees latitude and -15 degrees longitude and became a tropical storm at 7.7 degrees latitude, and -14 degrees longitude, becoming the southernmost tropical storm on record, the easternmost tropical storm on record, and also the storm with the closest proximity to the equator. (for usercanes)
- Tropical Storm Yolo tracked southward to a low latitude of 7.6 degrees, and became the lowest-latitude storm west of Cape Verde.
- Tropical Storm Nuno formed at 14.7 degrees latitude and -18.7 degrees longitude and became a tropical storm at that intensity, becoming the easternmost tropical storm on record. (for usercanes)
- Usercane Bittersweet had no records at formation, however, it did become the northernmost major hurricane on record, reaching category 3 intensity near Newfoundland, at 46.1 degrees latitude and -48.1 degrees longitude. (for usercanes)
- Subtropical Storm Callum was the northernmost storm on record, forming at 38.8 degrees latitude and -61.3 degrees longitude north of Bermuda. (for usercanes)
- Usercane Emma/Michelle was believed to be the westernmost storm on record, forming at 30.2 degrees latitude and -75.1 degrees longitude. It currently has the most landfalls and regenerations, regenerating over 5 times and making landfall at least three times. Emma/Michelle was the westernmost storm before the record was beaten by Tropical Storm Quilava of the 2015 usercane season, which was also the only storm on record to form at the Bay of Campeche, before the formation of Tropical Depression Twenty-Two (of the 2016 usercane season). (for usercanes)
- Tropical Storm Quilava is currently the westernmost forming storm on record; forming directly near the Bay of Campeche. It is the only storm on record in the Bay of Campeche. (for usercanes)
- Usercane Nkechinyer was the easternmost category 5 usercane on record, attaining this intensity at -28.9 degrees longitude.
- Usercane Cooper became the lowest latitude named storm of usercane strength when it attained usercane strength at 11.8 degrees latitude on December 1, 2017.
- Usercane Bob was the lowest-latitude category 5 usercane on record, attaining this intensity at 12.6 degrees latitude. At the same time, Usercane Anthony acquired this intensity at nearly as low of a latitude at 12.8 degrees to the east-northeast of Bob.
- Usercane Hype is currently the highest-latitude category 5 usercane on record, maintaining this intensity at 34.8 degrees latitude.
- Usercane Alan was the westernmost category 5 usercane on record, attaining this intensity at the time of its landfall at -88.8 degrees longitude.

Usercane Garfield is the largest usercane recorded, with Tropical Userstorm force winds extending 2007.9 miles wide. Usercane Hype is the second largest usercane ever recorded, with Tropical Userstorm force winds extending 1928.2 miles wide. Usercane Ryne held this record for over a year at one point, however, it has been surpassed by Hype and Garfield.
On the other hand, the smallest usercane to attain both hurricane strength and category 5 strength was Subtropical Cyclone BeoBlade, which was only 29.8 miles wide at the time of its peak intensity.
Currently active usercanes are bolded.
