Which condition exists in the eye of a hurricane?

In the eye of a hurricane, an extremely low barometric pressure is characteristic. This pressure drop is a key feature of cyclonic systems. As the hurricane intensifies, the pressure at the eye becomes significantly lower than the surrounding areas, which contributes to the overall strength of the storm.

The sharply reduced pressure in the eye leads to a noticeable effect: the winds that spiral around the eye reach their highest speeds in the surrounding eyewall, but within the eye itself, the wind speed markedly drops. This creates a unique phenomenon where conditions can be eerily calm and clear, contrasting sharply with the chaos of the storm's eyewall.

While it is true that there may be some calmness in the eye, the presence of very low pressure is a defining characteristic that distinguishes it from other conditions.
