The eastern Pacific hurricane season runs from May 15 to November Based on a year climate period from to , an average eastern Pacific hurricane season has 15 named storms, 8 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes.
The first named storm typically forms in early to mid-June, the first hurricane tends to form in late June, and the first major hurricane forms in mid-July. The following tables describe the progress of typical hurricane seasons in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific basins by showing benchmark dates when a given number of named storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes typically forms. It is important to note, however, that formation dates in individual hurricane seasons could vary considerably from these average dates.
Table 1. Progress of the average Atlantic season Date upon which the following number of events would normally have occurred. Table 2. Progress of the average eastern Pacific season These charts show the amount of tropical cyclone activity, in terms of named storms and hurricanes, that occurs in the Atlantic and east Pacific basins on each calendar day between May 1 and December Specifically, they show the number of hurricanes yellow area , and combined named storms and hurricanes red area that occur on each calendar day over a year period.
The data have been smoothed using a 5-day running average centered on each calendar day. For the Atlantic basin the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico , the chart is based on data from the year period from to starting at the beginning of the aircraft reconnaissance era but normalized to years.
The official hurricane season for the Atlantic basin is from June 1 to November 30, but tropical cyclone activity sometimes occurs before and after these dates, respectively. The peak of the Atlantic hurricane season is September 10, with most activity occurring between mid-August and mid-October. For the eastern Pacific basin, the analyses are based on data from the year period from to starting when there was reliable satellite imagery but also normalized to years.
