Christopher W. Landsea Neal Dorst Erica Rule National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration June 2, 2011 January 17, 2016 The majority of the year's storm remained offshore and caused little to no adverse impact on land. However, a tropical storm in October brought flooding rain to Mexico and Guatemala that left five people dead and thousands homeless. An unknown disease in the storm's wake killed a further 35 people. The relative lack of activity is a byproduct of limited monitoring tools at the time. In 1954, Pacific hurricanes were only able to be identified by ship reports (either post-trip logs or in situ transmissions) and coastal observations.Sandy Delgado National Hurricane Center 2014 January 17, 2016 Reanalysis of the 1954–1963 Atlantic hurricane season http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/Landsea/SandyDelgadoMastersThesis.pdf 9 etal dead https://web.archive.org/web/20160313200728/http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/Landsea/SandyDelgadoMastersThesis.pdf March 13, 2016 No more than eight coastal cities reported regular observations. Additionally, only two cities, Empalme, Sonora, and Mazatlán, Sinaloa, launched radiosondes—a key factor in detecting tropical cyclones at the time—further limiting detection capabilities.Monthly Weather Review Sergio Serra C.
