253 mph ; The world's worst weather has been challenged by Australian Tropical Cyclone Olivia. Mount Washington's record wind speed of 231 mph, set in 1934, was blown away at 253 mph in 1996 on Barrow Island in Australia. The 62 year old record will be difficult to part with for the weather station, considering it took 14 years for the announcement to be made.

The world record for fastest surface wind speed ever recorded is 253 mph. It was "accurately measured with an anemometer" on Australia's Barrow Island during cyclone Olivia, and being accurately measured makes the "official world record". The unofficial record is 318 mph. This was measured using Doppler radar during an F5 tornado in Oklahoma. It's unofficial because Doppler radar is a less accurate way to measure wind speed than with an anemometer.
