The 2000 Pacific hurricane season was an above-average Pacific hurricane season, although most of the storms were weak and short-lived. There were a total of 19 named storms, including 17 named by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) and two by the Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC). There were six hurricanes, which was slightly below-average. Two of the hurricanes became major hurricanes, which is a Category 3 or greater on the Saffir–Simpson scale.
Seasonal activity began on May 22, when Hurricane Aletta formed off the southwest coast of Mexico. Aletta's formation was earlier than average, and it began a nine-year period of consecutive seasons with May storms. Aletta was also the first May Pacific hurricane since 1990. Two storms formed in June, including the season's strongest, Carlotta, which peaked as a strong Category 4 hurricane. The hurricane killed 18 people when it sank the Lithuanian freighter Linkuva. In July, three named storms developed, including Hurricane Daniel, which was the second-strongest storm of the season. Daniel briefly threatened the U.S. state of Hawaii while weakening. Also in the month, Tropical Storm Upana developed in the central Pacific, the first storm to do so since 1997.
August was the most active month of the year, with six storms forming. These included hurricanes Gilma and Hector, which remained off the southwest coast of Mexico, as well as Tropical Storm Wene, which crossed from the west Pacific into the central Pacific. In September, Hurricane Lane executed a rare loop off the southwest coast of Mexico, before its remnants produced thunderstorms across California. Also in the month, tropical storms Miriam and Norman made landfall in western Mexico. Miriam hit Baja California Sur, producing damaging rains. Norman hit the Mexican states of Michoacán and Jalisco, producing floods that killed nine people. In October, the remnants of Tropical Storm Olivia brought rainfall to the southwest United States. In November, the remnants of Tropical Storm Paul interacted with an upper-level trough to produce heavy rainfall over the Hawaiian islands, leading to flash floods and landslides. Damage on the island of Hawaiʻi totaled $88.2 million.Damage totals are listed in United States dollars unless otherwise stated and are unadjusted for inflation. "nb" Also in the month, Tropical Storm Rosa struck southeastern Mexico and dissipated on November 8, ending the season.

Seasonal summary
Timeline of the 2000 Pacific hurricane season
For the north Pacific Ocean, east of 140° W, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) named 17 tropical storms; this was above the then 34–year average of 15.4 named storms. Six of the storms attained hurricane status, slightly below the average of 8.6 hurricanes. Two tropical depressions developed but did not reach storm strength.National Hurricane Center December 1, 2000 Summary of Tropical Cyclone Activity for the 2000 Season https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2000/tws/MIATWSEP_nov.html March 25, 2026 There were also four storms within the warning area of the Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) between 140° W and the International Date Line, which was near average. This included two storms that formed within the central Pacific and were given Hawaiian names by the CPHC. The season was affected by a weak La Niña conditions, in which equatorial water temperatures were slightly cooler than usual. The season began earlier than average with the formation of Hurricane Aletta in late May. The average Pacific hurricane season has its first tropical storm formation on June 10, with the first hurricane 16 days later. May storms typically occur every other year, with May hurricanes every three to four years. However, the 2000 season began a nine-year consecutive period of storm formation during the month.Tropical Cyclone Climatology National Hurricane Center April 19, 2026 https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/climo/

A tropical wave crossed Central America and entered the Gulf of Tehuantepec on May 20. Deep convection developed near the center of the disturbance. On May 22, the system became the first tropical depression of the season while located about 240 mi (390 km) south of Acapulco, Mexico.http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP012000_Aletta.pdf Hurricane Aletta Tropical Cyclone Report Pasch Richard June 10, 2000 National Hurricane Center April 21, 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20110514040834/http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/2000aletta.html May 14, 2011 live A mid-level ridge forced a west-northwest track away from the Mexican coast.http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2000/dis/NEP0100.001.html Tropical Depression One-E Discussion #1 Franklin James May 22, 2000 National Hurricane Center April 21, 2011 It intensified into Tropical Storm Aletta early on May 23 while located 220 mi south of Zihuatanejo, Mexico, becoming the first May tropical storm in four years. As it turned westward, it continued a slow intensification trend, before strengthening more quickly due to decreased wind shear. On May 24, Aletta attained hurricane status, and shortly thereafter reached peak winds of 105 mph (165 km/h); this made it a Category 2 on the Saffir–Simpson scale. Aletta was the first May Pacific hurricane since Alma in 1990.John Wallace Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Summary May 2000 https://australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/2000/summ0005.htm April 19, 2026 After maintaining peak winds for about 18 hours, Aletta began a weakening trend due to increasing wind shear. At around the same time, a trough eroded the ridge that was steering the movement of Aletta, causing the hurricane to remain almost stationary for the next two days. The lack of motion resulted in upwelling which imparted additional weakening, and Aletta dropped to tropical storm status on May 27. It quickly deteriorated that day, and on May 28 the system dissipated well south of Cabo San Lucas after it began a slow north drift. The remnants lingered in the same area for the next several days.
Tropical Storm Bud

A tropical wave moved off the coast of Africa on May 22, crossing the Atlantic without development. It entered the eastern Pacific Ocean on June 6 and remained disorganized until June 11, when a broad low-pressure area developed southwest of Acapulco, Mexico. The wave was only intensifying slowly, and on June 13, it became strong enough to be designated as a tropical depression. It quickly strengthened to Tropical Storm Bud six hours later, and moved to the northwest. The storm reached a peak intensity of 50 mph (85 km/h) early on June 14. Bud turned to the north-northwest, and slowly weakened from June 15 onwards, due to increasing vertical wind shear and cooler ocean water temperatures. The storm's forward speed decreased and began to meander, as the ridge to the north of Bud weakened and a trough developed over the western United States.http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2000/dis/NEP0200.008.html Tropical Storm Bud Discussion #8 Avila Lixion June 15, 2000 National Hurricane Center April 21, 2011 It drifted erratically while located just north of Socorro Island, and was downgraded to a tropical depression on June 16.

A tropical wave exited Africa on June 3 and crossed into the eastern Pacific 12 days later. Continuing westward, it developed thunderstorms and a low pressure area. On June 18, Tropical Depression Three-E formed about 270 mi km southeast of Puerto Angel, Oaxaca. Moving parallel to the southern Mexican coast, the depression quickly strengthened into Tropical Storm Carlotta. It approached within 140 mi km of the coast on June 19. An eye developed in the center of the deep convection, with strong outflow to the south. Carlotta attained hurricane status on June 20, and subsequently a period of rapid deepening as it moved farther offshore. With warm waters and a very favorable upper-level environment, Carlotta quickly strengthened into a major hurricane. In a twelve-hour period ending at 06:00 UTC on June 21, the pressure dropped 49 mbar to 932 mbar inHg on; at the same time, Carlotta attained peak winds of 155 mph (250 km/h) while located about 285 mi (460 km) southwest of Acapulco. This made it a strong Category 4 hurricane. At the time of its peak intensity, Carlotta maintained a well-defined central dense overcast around an eye of 20 mi km in diameter. It maintained peak winds for about 12 hours before weakening due to stronger wind shear and cooler waters. Early on June 24, Carlotta weakened to a tropical storm about 260 mi km west-southwest of Cabo San Lucas. On the next day, the winds dropped to tropical depression status, as deep convection diminished. Carlotta degenerated into a remnant low, which persisted for several days while continuing to the northwest.https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP032000_Carlotta.pdf Hurricane Carlotta (EPO32000) Tropical Cyclone Report Franklin James L.

The same tropical wave that spawned Tropical Depression Two in the Atlantic later entered the eastern Pacific by July 1. Several days later, the thunderstorms increased and became more concentrated. On July 6, it developed into Tropical Depression Four-E about 1,380 mi (2,220 km) southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. The depression was soon affected by dry air and wind shear, causing the thunderstorms to diminish. The depression began dissipating on July 7.https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP042000_Four.pdf Lixion Avila Tropical Depression Four-E Tropical Cyclone Report July 12, 2000 National Hurricane Center May 25, 2026https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2000/dis/NEP0400.002.html Tropical Depression Four-E Discussion Number 2 Stewart Stacy July 7, 2000 National Hurricane Center May 25, 2026

A tropical wave organized into Tropical Depression One-C on July 20 while located southeast of the Hawaiian Islands. It moved nearly due west, strengthening into Tropical Storm Upana later on July 20; the name is Hawaiian for "Urban". It was the first tropical storm to develop in the Central Pacific region since 1997 season. Despite a favorable environment, Upana strengthened little, reaching a peak intensity on July 21 with winds of 50 mph on. The storm had no deep convection in its circulation on July 22, and was downgraded to a tropical depression in the afternoon. Late on July 23, deep convection flared up, briefly strengthening the system again, but failed to re-gain tropical storm status, as it remained poorly organized. It dissipated on July 24, despite a low-shear environment favorable for development. On July 26, a westward moving disturbance in the central Pacific basin containing remnants of Tropical Storm Upana began showing signs of organization as it neared the International Date Line. The next day, a tropical depression, designated 12W by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), formed about 500 nmi mi km out 5 east of Kwajalein Atoll. The system moved generally northwestward over the next day, and gradually became better organized. At 18:00 UTC on July 28, JTWC upgraded the depression to a tropical storm and named it Chanchu. Chanchu then tracked north, before dissipating on July 30.PDF https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/CP2000_Seasonal_TCR.pdf The 2000 Central Pacific Tropical Cyclone Season Kodama, Keven Rosendal, Hans Hablutzel, Benjamin Jendrowski, Paul Eum, Daniel 2000 Central Pacific Hurricane Center March 23, 2026http://www.australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/2001/summ0007.txt Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Summary: July 2000 Gary Padgett John Wallace 2001 https://web.archive.org/web/20060822223257/http://www.australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/2001/summ0007.txt August 22, 2006 dead January 9, 20242000209N06182 International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship 2000 Tropical Storm CHANCHU January 9, 2024

The origins of Tropical Depression Five-E were first identified on July 8 when a tropical wave moved off the west African coast. It entered the eastern Pacific Ocean on July 16 after tracking over the Caribbean Sea. The wave developed to Tropical Depression Five-E on July 22 off the southwest coast of Mexico. Lacking significant deep convection and moving over cold waters, the depression failed to intensify. The NHC discontinued advisories on July 23, just a day after the depression formed.https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP052000_Five.pdf PDF Tropical Depression Five-E Tropical Cyclone Report Stewart, Stacy August 5, 2000 National Hurricane Center March 24, 2026http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2000/dis/NEP0500.003.html Tropical Depression Five-E Discussion #3 Pasch, Richard July 23, 2000 National Hurricane Center April 21, 2011http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2000/dis/NEP0500.004.html Tropical Depression Five-E Discussion #4 Beven, Jack July 23, 2000 National Hurricane Center April 21, 2011
Hurricane Daniel

A tropical wave exited western Africa on July 8, and crossed the Atlantic without any development. The wave reached the eastern Pacific by July 20, developing a low pressure area two days later. On July 23, the system organized into Tropical Depression Six-E, located about 660 mi (1,065 km) south-southeast of Manzanillo, Colima. The system continued generally to the west-northwest for much of its duration, steered by a subtropical ridge to its north. Late on July 23, the depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Daniel, which attained hurricane status a day later. A small eye-like feature formed in the center of the convection, which grew to a diameter of 17 mi (28 km) as it organized. Late on July 25, Daniel attained peak winds of 125 mph (205 km/h) and a minimum pressure of 954 mbar inHg on; this made it a Category 3 hurricane. After maintaining peak winds for about 12 hours, Daniel weakened and fell to Category 2 status on July 27. A day later, Daniel re-intensified to a secondary peak of 120 mph (195 km/h), only to weaken again due to increased wind shear. On July 29, Daniel entered the central Pacific as a minimal hurricane, and it dropped to tropical storm status the next day. Around that time, a trough weakened the subtropical ridge to Daniel's north, resulting in a more northwesterly track. Late on July 31, the storm passed about 145 mi (230 km) northeast of Hilo, Hawaii. Remaining north of the Hawaiian islands, Daniel weakened to a tropical depression on August 3 after the thunderstorms dwindled over the circulation. It turned more to the north, dissipating on August 5 to the northeast of Midway Island.Hurricane Daniel Tropical Cyclone Report https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP062000_Daniel.pdf Miles B.

On July 30, the CPHC forecasted that Daniel would move across the Hawaiian islands as a weakening tropical storm. As a result, the agency issued tropical storm warnings for Maui and the Big Island, with a tropical storm watch for Oahu and Kauai. Daniel produced 10 ft m on waves along the eastern shore of the Big Island. Rainbands from Daniel produced thunderstorms over the Big Island and Maui.

On July 11, a tropical wave moved off the African coast. After moving across the Atlantic and Caribbean, it crossed Central America on July 22. Three days later, the system showed signs of organization. It developed into Tropical Depression Seven-E on July 26, about 335 mi (535 km) southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico. The depression quickly strengthened into Tropical Storm Emilia. The storm moved to the west-northwest, steered by a ridge to its north. The NHC initially forecast Emilia to attain hurricane status. Late on July 27, Emilia attained peak winds of 65 mph (110 km/h) while passing just southwest of Socorro Island. Soon after, the storm moved into cooler waters and drier air, causing the convection to diminish. Emilia turned westward on July 29, and around that time it fell to tropical depression status. It dissipated the next day, located well to the west-southwest of the Baja California peninsula.https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP072000_Emilia.pdf Richard Pasch Tropical Storm Emilia Tropical Cyclone Report December 19, 2000 National Hurricane Center May 26, 2026

On July 19, a tropical wave exited western Africa, and eight days later entered into the eastern Pacific. The wave first showed signs of organization on August 1 as it continued to the west. On August 3, Tropical Depression Eight-E developed about 620 mi (1,000 km) west-southwest of Manzanillo, Colima. A day later, the depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Fabio. Despite the presence of wind shear, Fabio strengthened further to reach peak winds of 50 mph (85 km/h) on August 4. Soon after, the wind shear stripped the convection from the circulation, causing the storm to weaken. Fabio fell to tropical depression status on August 6, and by that time the circulation was becoming elongated. Nearby Hurricane Gilma increased wind shear over the area, and Fabio's circulation dissipated on August 8. The remnants continued to interact with the Gilma over the next few days.https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP082000_Fabio.pdf Jack Beven Tropical Storm Fanio Tropical Cyclone Report November 17, 2000 National Hurricane Center May 26, 2026https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2000/dis/NEP0800.006.html Tropical Storm Fabio Discussion Number 6 Lixion Avila August 4, 2000 National Hurricane Center May 26, 2026

Gilma's precursor was a tropical wave that moved off the African coast by July 21. The wave entered the East Pacific on August 2, and the formation of a well-defined center led to the formation of a depression on August 5, 250 nautical miles south of Manzanillo, Mexico. The system strengthened into a tropical storm at 12:00 UTC that day, at which point it became known as Gilma. Gilma gradually intensified and became a hurricane on August 8 at 6:00 UTC. Gilma reached peak intensity six hours later, with 80 mph (130 km/h) winds and a minimum pressure of 984 mbar inHg on. Soon after, Gilma moved over cooler waters, and it steadily weakened thereafter. It fell to tropical depression status early on August 10, dissipating later that day as it lost its remaining thunderstorms.Tropical Cyclone Report Hurricane Gilma 5-11 August 2000 https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP092000_Gilma.pdf Franklin James L. nhc.noaa.gov National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration https://web.archive.org/web/20150930060207/https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP092000_Gilma.pdf 30 September 2015 18 September 2000 live

In late July, a tropical wave exited Western Africa, reaching the eastern Pacific on August 9. Deep convection developed and organized, leading to the formation of a tropical depression on August 10. It was located about 185 mi (295 km) southwest of Manzanillo, Colima, and continued generally westward under the influence of a strong ridge. The depression quickly strengthened into Tropical Storm Hector, as it developing banding features, a central dense overcast, and a ragged eye. Hector became a hurricane on August 14, and it reached peak intensity 12 hours later with 80 mph (130 kn/h) winds. Subsequently, cooler waters and wind shear caused the hurricane to weaken. Hector fell to tropical storm status on August 15, and further to a tropical depression a day later, after the thunderstorms dwindled.

A tropical wave emerged from the African coast on August 1. The wave later crossed Central America and southern Mexico into the Eastern Pacific. On August 13, a tropical depression developed near the southwest coast of Mexico. Early the next day, the depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Ileana. The storm paralleled the Mexican coast as it moved northwestward, steered by a ridge to the north. On August 15, Ileana attained peak winds of 70 mph (110 km/h) winds, with a minimum pressure of 991 mbar inHg on. Later that day, the storm passed just south of the Baja California peninsula at peak intensity. Ileana turned westward and weakened due to stronger wind shear. It fell to tropical depression status on August 16 and dissipated a day later. The remnants of Ileana continued westward, persisting until August 20.Tropical Cyclone Report Tropical Storm Ileana 13 - 17 August 2000 https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP112000_Ileana.pdf Stewart Stacy R. nhc.noaa.gov National Hurricane Center https://web.archive.org/web/20211019161327/https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP112000_Ileana.pdf 19 October 2021 30 October 2000 livehttps://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2000/dis/NEP1100.005.html Tropical Storm Ileana Discussion Number 5 Lixion Avila August 14, 2000 National Hurricane Center May 30, 2026

A tropical disturbance developed in the Western Pacific Ocean along the eastern periphery of the monsoon trough in mid-August. Located at 33° north, it steadily organized, and became Tropical Depression Sixteen-W on August 15 while located 1700 mi to the northwest of Honolulu, Hawaii. It moved eastward along the west–east-oriented surface pressure trough, and crossed the International Date Line later on August 15. Abnormally warm sea surface temperatures allowed the system to intensify despite its unusually high latitude, and it became Tropical Storm Wene on August 16. It quickly attained a peak intensity of 50 mph on, but weakened due to colder sea surface temperatures and wind shear. Wene continued to weaken, and dissipated when the storm merged with an extratropical cyclone.
The name Wene is Hawaiian for "Wayne".

The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) produced an area of thunderstorms on August 25, well to the southwest of Mexico. By the next day, a circulation had formed, which organized further into a tropical depression on August 28. It quickly strengthened into Tropical Storm John. Steered by a ridge to its north, the storm moved slowly northwestward, crossing into the Central Pacific on August 30. Later that day, John attained peak winds of 70 mph (110 km/h), after developing a central dense overcast. Subsequent to its peak, the storm's movement became slow and erratic as wind shear increased. On September 1, John weakened to tropical depression status, and later that day, it dissipated about 865 mi (1,390 km) southeast of Hawaii.https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP122000_John.pdf Miles Lawrence Tropical Storm John Tropical Cyclone Report December 20, 2000 National Hurricane Center May 29, 2026

The same tropical wave that spawned Tropical Storm Chris in the Atlantic later crossed into the eastern Pacific on August 22. Continuing to the west, it organized into Tropical Depression Fourteen-E on August 31. Despite significant shear, the depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Kristy on September 2, with peak winds of 40 mph (65 km/h). Kristy meandered far from land over the open ocean, and was soon affected by wind shear. Within 18 hours of attaining tropical storm status, Kristy fell to tropical depression strength. It dissipated on September 3 just 130 mi (210 km) from where Kristy formed.https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP132000_Kristy.pdf Pasch, Richard J.

The precursor to Lane was a tropical wave that formed in the Atlantic Ocean on August 20. The wave moved across the Atlantic basin without development and crossed Central America on August 29. By September 1, the system was beginning to organize south of Mexico. On September 4, the system became a tropical depression 140 mi southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico. The next day the tropical depression became Tropical Storm Lane. After becoming a tropical storm, Lane executed a counter-clockwise loop, during that maneuver, the storm crossed its own wake and weakened slightly. The NHC described the loop as "quite rare in the eastern
Pacific". After finishing the loop, Lane continued westward and reached hurricane strength on September 9 while passing over Socorro Island. A day later, Lane attained peak winds of 100 mph (155 km/h), making it a Category 2 hurricane. By September 11, Lane encountered cooler waters which weakened the hurricane back to tropical storm strength. A developing trough turned Lane to the northeast towards the West Coast of the United States. On September 13, Lane passed over cooler waters, causing it to weaken to a tropical depression. Lane then dissipated on the next day.http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP142000_Lane.pdf Hurricane Lane Tropical Cyclone Report Beven Jack November 24, 2000 National Hurricane Center April 20, 2011

A tropical wave moved off the coast of Africa on August 29. It remained weak as it moved westward across the Atlantic Ocean and entered the Pacific Ocean on September 9. As it moved west-northwestward, it organized and developed into Tropical Depression Fifteen-E on September 15 while 290 mi east-southeast of Cabo San Lucas. Banding features became more pronounced, though convection remained intermittent. On September 16, the depression briefly became Tropical Storm Miriam, with peak winds of 40 mph (65 km/h). It quickly weakened back to a tropical depression as it continued north-northwestward.

The same tropical wave that spawned Atlantic Hurricane Gordon later crossed into the eastern Pacific by September 16. It gradually organized off the west coast of Mexico, developing into a tropical depression early on September 20, located about 205 mi km south-southwest of Manzanillo, Colima. It moved slowly northward, strengthening into Tropical Storm Norman. Late on September 20, Norman attained peak winds of 50 mph (85 km/h). Around 20:00 UTC that day, the storm made landfall west of Lázaro Cárdenas, Michoacán at peak intensity. Norman rapidly weakened to a tropical depression over land, but it reemerged over the Pacific on September 21. A day later, Norman made landfall near Mazatlán, Sinaloa, as a weak tropical depression. Within a few hours, the cyclone dissipated over land.https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP162000_Norman.pdf Lixion Avila Eric Blake Tropical Storm Norman Tropical Cyclone Report October 13, 2000 National Hurricane Center March 6, 2026

A tropical wave left the African coast on September 16. Crossing into the East Pacific on September 28, the wave exhibited little thunderstorm activity until it developed a burst of deep convection late on September 30. After forming banding features, the system developed into Tropical Depression Seventeen-E at 12:00 UTC on October 2. It strengthened into Tropical Storm Olivia eighteen hours later. Moving west-northwestward away from Mexico, Olivia reached its peak intensity late on October 3 with 65 mph (100 km/h) winds, and a minimum pressure of 994 mbar inHg on. It maintained this intensity for 36 hours before an increase in wind shear caused by Atlantic Hurricane Keith caused it to weaken on October 5. After Keith made landfall on Mexico and dissipated, northeasterly shear relaxed, and allowed Olivia to re-strengthen and achieve peak winds again early on October 8. Continual westward movement brought the storm over cooler waters, and it began to weaken for a second time. Olivia dropped to tropical depression intensity early on October 9, and dissipated the next day.
Olivia's remnant low briefly re-gained convection on October 11, but increasing southwesterly shear disrupted it. The low crossed the Baja California Peninsula and the Gulf of California before moving across northwestern Mexico.https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP172000_Olivia.pdf Stewart, Stacey R.
