MONTHLY TROPICAL WEATHER SUMMARY
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
800 AM PDT TUE NOV 01 2016
For the eastern North Pacific, east of 140 degrees west longitude:
One named storm, Seymour, formed in the eastern North Pacific basin
in October, and it also became a major hurricane. Based on a 30-year
(1981-2010) climatology, two named storms typically form in the
basin in October, with one becoming a hurricane. A major hurricane
forms in the basin in October about once every other year.
In terms of Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE), which measures the
combined strength and duration of tropical storms and hurricanes,
activity in the basin so far in 2016 has been above normal.
The ACE through the end of October is about 44 percent higher than
the 1981-2010 median value to date.
Reports on individual cyclones, when completed, are available at the
National Hurricane Center website at
www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/index.php?season=2016&basin=epac .
