Monthly Tropical Weather Summary
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 AM PDT Thu Sep 1 2022

For the eastern North Pacific, east of 140 degrees west longitude:

August had lower-than-normal activity in the eastern Pacific basin, 
with two tropical cyclones forming (Howard and Ivette) and 
only Howard becoming a hurricane.  There were no major hurricanes.  
August typically has 3 or 4 named storms form, with 2 becoming 
hurricanes and 1 becoming a major hurricane.

The number of named storms that have formed in the basin so far in 
2022 (9) equals the long-term (1991-2020) average through August 
(Bonnie is not included since it formed in the Atlantic basin), but 
the number of hurricanes (7) is ahead of average (5).  In terms of 
Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE), which measures the combined 
strength and duration of tropical storms and hurricanes, 2022 is 
running about 25 percent above the long-term (1991-2020) median 
so far.
