Throughout the course of the year, a total of 22 named storms, 13 hurricanes and six major hurricanes were observed within the basin. Although the season was very active, it was considerably less active than the previous season, with large gaps of inactivity at the beginning and towards the end of the season. It officially started on May 15 in the Eastern Pacific (north of the Equator and east 140°W), and on June 1 in the Central Pacific (from 140°W to the International Date Line); they both ended on November 30.Dorst Neal When is hurricane season? http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/G1.html Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory November 25, 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20101206195446/http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/G1.html 6 December 2010 dead These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in these regions of the Pacific Ocean. However, tropical development is possible at any time of the year, as demonstrated by the formation of Hurricane Pali on January 7, the earliest Central Pacific tropical cyclone on record.https://weather.com/storms/hurricane/news/tropical-depression-one-c-pali-central-pacific Hurricane Pali Recap, Earliest Central Pacific Hurricane on Record The Weather Company June 14, 2016 March 24, 2021 After Pali, however, no tropical cyclones developed in either region until a short-lived depression on June 6. Also, there were no additional named storms until July 2, when Tropical Storm Agatha formed, becoming the latest first-named Eastern Pacific tropical storm since Tropical Storm Ava in 1969.https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2016/ep02/ep022016.discus.003.shtml? Tropical Storm Agatha Discussion Number 3 National Hurricane Center Miami, Florida July 2, 2016 June 22, 2023 Beven Jack Hurricane Darby brushed the Hawaiian islands as a tropical storm causing only minor damage; while hurricanes Lester and Madeline also threatened to make landfall in Hawaii but weakened significantly before approaching the islands. Tropical Storm Javier and Hurricane Newton both made landfall in Mexico, with the latter being responsible for at least nine fatalities as it came ashore near Baja California Sur. Hurricane Ulika was a rare and erratic storm which zig-zagged across 140°W a total of three times. Hurricane Seymour became the strongest storm of the season, forming in late October. Finally, in late November, Hurricane Otto from the Atlantic made an unusual crossing over Central America, emerging into the East Pacific as a moderate tropical storm but dissipated shortly after. Damage across the basin reached $95 million (2016 USD), while 11 people were killed by Celia and Newton overall. __TOC__ Seasonal forecasts Record Namedstorms Hurricanes Majorhurricanes RefAverage (1981–2010): 15.4 7.6 3.2 http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/Epac_hurr/background_information.html Background Information: East Pacific Hurricane Season Climate Prediction Center National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration College Park, Maryland May 22, 2014 May 29, 2014Record high activity: 1992: 27 2015: 16 2015: 11 Record low activity: 2010: 8 2010: 3 2003: 0 Date Source Namedstorms Hurricanes Majorhurricanes Ref May 6, 2016 SMN 10 7 3 http://smn.cna.gob.mx/tools/DATA/Ciclones%20Tropicales/Proyecci%C3%B3n/2016.pdf Pronóstico de Ciclones Tropicales 2016 2016-05-08 2016-05-27 https://web.archive.org/web/20160527200346/http://smn.cna.gob.mx/tools/DATA/Ciclones%20Tropicales/Proyecci%C3%B3n/2016.pdf dead May 27, 2016 NOAA 13–20 6–11 3–6 http://www.noaa.gov/near-normal-atlantic-hurricane-season-most-likely-year Near-normal Atlantic hurricane season is most likely this year – National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 1 September 2016 Area Namedstorms Hurricanes Majorhurricanes Ref Actual activity: EPAC 20 11 6 Actual activity: CPAC 2 2 0 Actual activity: 22 13 6 On May 6, 2016, the Servicio Meteorológico Nacional (SMN) issued its first outlook for the Pacific hurricane season, forecasting a below average season with 10 named storms, 7 hurricanes, and 3 major hurricanes. On May 27, NOAA released their outlook, forecasting 13-20 named storms, 6-11 hurricanes, and 3-6 major hurricanes. NOAA admitted that this season would be difficult to predict because of changing conditions, but both organizations cited a dissipating El Niño and the formation of a La Niña event, which resulted in the prediction of a near-normal season in both basins. In the Central Pacific, about four to seven cyclones would form or enter within the basin, citing an equal 40% chance of an above-normal or near-normal season.

Pali subsequently surpassed Hurricane Ekeka's record as the earliest hurricane on January 11. When Pali reached a peak intensity of 100 mph, it surpassed Winona to become the strongest January tropical cyclone east of the International Date Line.Bob Henson Weather Underground January 7, 2016 March 24, 2021 Rare January Depression in Central Pacific; Atlantic Subtropical Storm Next Week? http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=3218 https://web.archive.org/web/20170325082719/https://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=3218 March 25, 2017 dead In the eastern Pacific, no tropical depressions or storms formed during the month of May for the first time since 2011, and then, no named storms formed during June for the first time since 2007. When Agatha formed on July 2, it became the latest first named storm on record in the eastern Pacific proper since 1969. Despite this, the season set a record for the most number of storms during the first half of July. When Georgette formed on July 21, it became the seventh named storm to form in the month of July; equaling the previous record set in 1985 and 2015 for the most active July since reliable records began. And when Frank became a hurricane (after Georgette did so), it marked a record-high 5 hurricanes in July. Finally, Howard formed on July 31, however, was not named until August 1, one named storm shy of the record. Despite that, the season tied the record set in 1985 with the most named storms in July. Activity in August was slightly less active than July. Lester and Madeline threatened the Big Island at hurricane strength. Lester passed north of the islands, Madeline brought some rain as the storm dissipated south of Hawaii. Javier and Newton followed similar paths close to the Mexican coast, with both making landfall in the Baja California Peninsula in August and early September respectively. After Newton led off September; Hurricanes Orlene, Paine and Tropical Storm Roslyn followed forming far from land. Hurricane Ulika became the first tropical cyclone on record to cross 140°W three times. It formed and was designated a tropical depression in the eastern Pacific, but did not develop into a tropical storm until after entering the central Pacific, where, like Pali, it was named from the basin's Hawaiian language lists of names. After an unusually quiet October, Hurricane Seymour became the sixth major hurricane of the season, as well as the strongest. Tropical Storm Tina formed close to the coast of Mexico in mid-November. In late November, Tropical Storm Otto entered the basin from the Atlantic, becoming only the eighteenth cyclone to do so; however, it dissipated quickly due to unfavorable conditions. Systems Hurricane Pali EPac Pali 2016-01-13 0030Z.jpg Pali 2016 path.png January 7 January 14 85 978 Hurricane Pali A powerful and long-lived westerly wind burst—a feature commonly associated with strong El Niño events—spurred cyclogenesis within a persistent low-latitude, west-to-east oriented surface trough, resulting in the formation of an area of low pressure on January 6.Derek Wroe Sam Houston Central Pacific Hurricane Center December 13, 2018 July 4, 2019 Hurricane Pali Tropical Cyclone Report CP012016_Pali PDF Honolulu, Hawaii Fueled by unusually high sea surface temperatures, estimated at 29.5 C F on, the system gradually coalesced into a tropical depression on January 7. A ridge aloft centered directly overhead the system enhanced its poleward outflow, enabling the development of deep convection around its center, which soon strengthened into a tropical storm receiving the name Pali, becoming the earliest such system in the northeastern Pacific on record.Bob Henson Weather Underground January 8, 2016 March 24, 2021 Warm, Wet Year for U.S.; Record Heat in South Africa; Tropical Storm Pali Intensifies http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=3219 https://web.archive.org/web/20170325085041/https://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=3219 March 25, 2017 dead Pali continued intensifying through the first half of January 8 and nearly reached hurricane strength, but easterly vertical wind shear caused by the ridge disrupted its center, causing it to start weakening and move northwestward. Steady weakening continued through January 9 as Pali's deep convection was displaced to the west of its low-level center and intermittently pulsed, later leading to a dramatic decrease in intensity. By the end of that day, Pali barely maintained tropical storm strength, and the lack of persistent deep convection permitted it to be less affected by the easterly wind shear, causing its forward motion to decrease significantly. As the ridge weakened and retreated southward on January 10, causing vertical wind shear to gradually diminish, Pali started re-intensifying, with persistent deep convection redeveloping near its center and within its western quadrant. On January 11, the ridge passed directly over Pali, leading to the reestablishment of poleward outflow and eventual development of southwesterly flow, enabling its convection to slowly increase in coverage and organization within all quadrants and establishing a northeastward movement. On January 12, light vertical wind shear and high sea surface temperatures enabled Pali to strengthen into a Category 1 hurricane. Later that day, Pali strengthened further into a Category 2 hurricane while travelling southwards, reaching its peak intensity.http://www.prh.noaa.gov/cphc/tcpages/archive/2016/TCPCP1.CP012016.022.201601122047 Hurricane Pali Advisory Number 22 prh.noaa.gov Bob Burke Central Pacific Hurricane Center Honolulu, Hawaii January 12, 2016 March 24, 2021 https://web.archive.org/web/20181004000801/http://www.prh.noaa.gov/cphc/tcpages/archive/2016/TCPCP1.CP012016.022.201601122047 October 4, 2018 dead During the next few days, Pali rapidly weakened while turning back towards the south-southeast, due to steady increases in southerly vertical wind shear and loss of Coriolis force. Further decay in the organization of deep convection made Pali being downgraded into a remnant low late on January 14. While weakening, Pali reached a minimum latitude of 2.6°N, making it the second-lowest latitude tropical cyclone on record in the Western Hemisphere, behind Tropical Depression Nine-C which attained a minimum latitude of 2.2°N just two weeks prior.Erdman John Tropical Depression Nine-C Dissipates; Caps Off a Record Central Pacific Hurricane Season http://www.weather.com/storms/hurricane/news/central-pacific-tropical-depression-nine-c-storm-pali The Weather Channel The Weather Channel 6 January 2016 Pali completed a broad and looping track, by dissipating approximately 50 nmi mi+km on from where it initially developed.

Soon after, however the separation between the mid and lower level centers caused Kay to become disorganized. The next day, Kay re-intensified, again reaching peak intensity. The peak did not last for long, as Kay entered water cooler than 26 °C later that day. Drier air and a stable environment weakened Kay into a depression by 1200 UTC on the 23rd, before Kay ultimately degenerated into a remnant low soon after. The low continued westwards, before dissipating about 585 miles west of Cabo San Lucas.http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP122016_Kay.pdf Tropical Storm Kay Kimberlain Todd 12 November 2016 nhc.noaa.gov/ National Hurricane Center 4 December 2016 Hurricane Lester EPac Lester 2016-08-29 2145Z.jpg Lester 2016 path.png August 24 September 7 125 944 A tropical wave departed from the west coast on Africa on August 11. Days later, on August 24, a well organized low-pressure system was upgraded into Tropical Depression Thirteen-E. Entering a favorable environment, the depression quickly intensified into Tropical Storm Lester. Moving steadily west-northwestwards, intensification continued, and Lester rapidly intensified on August 26 into a hurricane. Intensification continued throughout the day, with Lester reaching Category 2 strength the following day. By August 29, Lester had strengthened into the fourth major hurricane of the season. On August 30, Lester started to go through a weakening stage, at which point the storm began accelerating towards Hawaii. Late on August 30 Lester re-intensified to a Category 4 hurricane. The storm did not maintain this intensity, however, and on the next day dropped below major hurricane status as its eye filled with clouds. On September 1, Lester's eye cleared, and it once again became a Category 3 hurricane. Lester also moved very close to the Hawaiian islands, but passed safely to the east and quickly lost strength over cooler waters.Brown Daniel P. Hurricane Lester http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP132016_Lester.pdf nhc.noaa.gov National Hurricane Center 20 March 2017 The outer rainbands from Lester produced heavy showers and minor flooding over the leeward slopes of the Big Island and portions of east Maui on September 3.

There were some impacts from Lester in the Hawaiian Islands while the hurricane passed north of the state. Large swell generated by the hurricane resulted in surf of 10 to 20 feet along the eastern facing shores of the islands. Lifeguards conducted numerous water rescues, but there were no reports of serious injuries.

It is estimated that Tropical Depression Sixteen-E formed at 00:00 UTC on September 11 about 700 mi km south-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California, after curved banding features developed near the center. The center became embedded in a central dense overcast, and six hours later, it was upgraded to Tropical Storm Orlene. Moving north-northwest around a ridge of high pressure, Orlene entered an area of warm sea surface temperatures and low wind shear, prompting a period of rapid intensification as a well-defined eye became visible at the center, and Orlene became a hurricane at 06:00 UTC September 12. The hurricane eventually reached its peak intensity as a high-end Category 2 hurricane with winds of 110 mph km/h on at 18:00 UTC that day. The storm then moved into an area of cooler waters, which caused Orlene to weaken back to a tropical storm as it slowed down due to a trough approaching it and eventually replaced with a ridge. It began to turn west, and re-strengthened to a hurricane again before eventually succumbing to increasing wind shear and weakening again commenced. Orlene deteriorated into a remnant low by September 17, which persisted for another 12 hours before dissipating. Trailing deep tropical moisture from the remnants of Orlene passing north of the island chain produced moderate to heavy rainfall and minor flooding along the windward slopes of Haleakalā on September 23. Hurricane Paine EPac September 18 September 20 Paine 2016-09-19 2100Z.jpg Paine 2016 path.png 80 979 The origins of Paine were complex, having originated from several tropical waves. On September 10, the first one moved into the Eastern Pacific.http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP172016_Paine.pdf National Hurricane Center Tropical Cyclone Report: Hurricane Paine Eric S. Blake National Hurricane Center 27 January 2017 5 March 2017 It moved westwards over the next few days, spawning a small area of low pressure as a result. Convection remained disorganized due to easterly wind shear, which inhibited development. By September 16, another wave which had formed overtook the small low and absorbed it into its circulation. The system became better organized with a large area of convection, but the circulation was elongated. Over the next day, wind shear decreased and convection became better organized, and it is estimated that a tropical depression formed at 00:00 UTC on September 18, about 325 mi km west-southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico, becoming a tropical storm about six hours later and assigned the name Paine. Almost immediately, the cyclone underwent a period of rapid intensification as it moved northwestwards around the periphery of a subtropical ridge that was over Mexico. Banding features developed in association with a central dense overcast (CDO) that produced very deep convection. Early on September 19, Paine became a hurricane and shortly afterwards achieved its peak intensity around 18:00 UTC. As fast as it became a hurricane, it weakened at a similar pace due to decreasing sea surface temperatures, and Paine degraded into a remnant low only a day after reaching its peak intensity. The remnants of Paine continued to move northward, before dissipating just offshore of the Baja California Peninsula, late on September 21. Tropical Storm Roslyn EPac September 25 September 29 Roslyn 2016-09-26 2105Z.jpg Roslyn 2016 path.png 45 999 A tropical wave moved into the Eastern Pacific on September 17, spawning a broad area low pressure as it moved to the west. The disturbance lacked any significant organization until September 24, when shower and thunderstorm activity became a little more organized, although the system lacked a well-defined circulation. After gradually becoming better organized, it is estimated from satellite data that a tropical depression formed at 1200 UTC about 700 mi km southwest of the tip of Baja California. It moved northward and was upgraded to Tropical Storm Roslyn the next day at 00:00 UTC. Moderate wind shear and dry air prevented any significant strengthening, and by 18:00 UTC it attained a peak intensity of 50 mph km/h on 5. On September 27, southwesterly wind shear started to weaken Roslyn. Weakening slowly over the next two days, Roslyn weakened to a tropical depression on September 29 and degraded to a remnant low shortly afterwards, dissipating the next day a few hundred miles west of Cabo San Lazaro.Pasch Richard Tropical Storm Roslyn http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP182016_Roslyn.pdf nhc.noaa.gov National Hurricane Center 16 April 2017 Hurricane Ulika EPac September 26 September 30 Ulika 2016-09-27 2240Z.jpg Ulika 2016 path.png 65 992 On September 26, the NHC upgraded a long-tracked tropical wave into Tropical Depression Nineteen-E.

The low began to steer Ulika northwards, then northwestwards into September 29. While crossing back into the Central Pacific (for a record-tying third time), Ulika weakened into a remnant low the following day. The remains of the storm continued a westwards movement, then southwestwards until dissipating on October 3.https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP192016_Ulika.pdf Hurricane Ulika Beven II John L. 28 February 2018 National Hurricane Center 18 August 2018 Hurricane Seymour EPac October 23 October 28 Seymour 2016-10-26 0605Z.jpg Seymour 2016 path.png 130 940 On October 11, a fast-moving tropical wave moved off the coast of Africa, and traversed the Atlantic without development. By October 20, the disturbance emerged into the Pacific Ocean.http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP202016_Seymour.pdf Stacy R. Stewart National Hurricane Center National Hurricane Center Tropical Cyclone Report: Hurricane Seymour 20 February 2017 5 March 2017 The next day, a weak surface circulation developed in response to a Gulf of Tehuantepec wind gap event. Organization continued further over the next two days, and after deep convection became more concentrated and the low became better defined, it is estimated that Tropical Depression Twenty-E formed around 06:00 UTC on October 23 about 360 mi km south of Manzanillo, Mexico, later strengthening into a tropical storm six hours later and assigned the name Seymour, accordingly. Moving westward, Seymour began developing banding features and an eye was becoming evident on satellite. The hurricane later entered a period of rapid intensification due to very favorable conditions, which included low wind shear, a moist atmosphere, and sea surface temperatures (SSTs) of around 29–30 C F. The eye of Seymour later contracted to around 10 mi km. By late on October 25, Seymour reached its peak intensity as a high-end category 4 major hurricane with sustained winds of 150 mph km/h on 5 and a pressure of 940 mbar inHg. Shortly after peaking in intensity, the cyclone rapidly weakened in response to increasing wind shear, drier air and decreasing sea surface temperatures due to upwelling as it turned northwestwards around the edge of a subtropical ridge. By 18:00 UTC on October 27, Seymour had weakened to a tropical storm, shortly before degenerating into a remnant low early the next day. The low continued to drift northwards before dissipating on October 30 about 500 mi km west of Puerto Cortes, Baja California Sur, Mexico. Tropical Storm Tina EPac November 13 November 14 Tina 2016-11-13 0830Z.jpg Tina 2016 path.png 35 1004 A tropical disturbance broke off from a low- to mid-level trough over the northern Caribbean on November 2, moving southwestwards into the Eastern Pacific by November 8. That same day, a low-pressure area formed within the disturbance. Persistent deep convection significantly increased over the next few days, attributed to the passage of a convectively coupled Kelvin wave. Turning northwards due to a mid-level high, convection continued to increase despite increasing southwesterly wind shear. By November 12, a low-level circulation center formed within the much broader, though disorganized, system. Eventually, the circulation became sufficiently well-defined to be declared Tropical Storm Tina at 06:00 UTC on November 13. Due to the strong wind shear, however, Tina remained weak throughout the day, with winds never rising above 40 mph km/h on 5. As the low- and mid-level circulations began to decouple, Tina turned westwards the next day as it weakened to a tropical depression. Amid strong shear and a dry atmospheric environment, convection could not be sustained and Tina degenerated to a remnant low just 30 hours after its formation. The remnant low continued drifting westwards for the next four days, before dissipating completely on November 18.http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP212016_Tina.pdf Tropical Cyclone Report: Tropical Storm Tina Todd B.

Tropical Storm Otto Public Advisory 17A National Hurricane Center November 25, 2016 December 29, 2016 Due to crossing over the mountainous terrain of Nicaragua and Costa Rica, Otto weakened somewhat as it moved westwards, with possible indications of its circulation being tilted. Continuing to move westwards due to the influence of a subtropical ridge to its north, Otto eventually encountered more hostile environmental conditions, as wind shear began to increase dramatically. The circulation of Otto became disrupted, and Otto opened up into a trough of low pressure on November 26.http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2016/al16/al162016.discus.024.shtml?

Names are used one after the other without regard to year, and when the bottom of one list is reached, the next named storm receives the name at the top of the next list. Two named storms, listed below, formed within the area in 2016. Also, named storms in the table above that crossed into the area during the season are noted (*).NOAA Releases 2016 Hurricane Season Summary December 16, 2016 https://bigislandnow.com/2016/12/16/noaa-releases-2016-hurricane-season-summary/ Big Island Now January 27, 2024 Pali Ulika Season effects This is a table of all of the storms that formed in the 2016 Pacific hurricane season. It includes their name, duration, peak classification and intensities, areas affected, damage, and death totals (within the basin). Deaths in parentheses are additional and indirect (an example of an indirect death would be a traffic accident), but were still related to that storm. Damage and deaths include totals while the storm was extratropical, a wave, or a low, and all of the damage figures are in 2016 USD. center 2016 Pacific hurricane cat2 Pali January 7–14 100 (155) 978 Kiribati Unknown 4 depression One-E June 6–8 35 (55) 1006 Southwestern Mexico Minimal None storm Agatha July 2–5 50 (85) 1002 None None None cat4 Blas July 2–10 140 (220) 947 Hawaii None None cat2 Celia July 6–16 100 (155) 972 Hawaii Minimal 2 cat3 Darby July 11–26 120 (195) 958 Hawaii Minimal None storm Estelle July 15–22 70 (110) 990 None None None cat1 Frank July 21–28 85 (140) 979 Baja California Peninsula, Nayarit Unknown None cat4 Georgette July 21–27 130 (215) 952 Hawaii None None storm Howard July 31 – August 3 60 (95) 998 Hawaii None None storm Ivette August 2–8 60 (95) 1000 None None None storm Javier August 7–9 65 (100) 997 Western Mexico, Northwestern Mexico, Baja California Peninsula Minimal None storm Kay August 18–23 50 (85) 1000 None None None cat4 Lester August 24 – September 7 145 (230) 944 Hawaii Minimal None cat4 Madeline August 26 – September 2 130 (215) 950 Hawaii Minimal None cat1 Newton September 4–7 90 (150) 977 Baja California Peninsula, Northwestern Mexico, Southwestern United States 95800000 $ 12 cat2 Orlene September 11–17 110 (175) 967 None None None cat1 Paine September 18–21 90 (150) 979 Baja California Peninsula, Southwestern United States Minimal None storm Roslyn September 25–29 50 (85) 999 None None None cat1 Ulika September 26–30 75 (120) 992 None None None cat4 Seymour October 23–28 150 (240) 940 Baja California None None storm Tina November 13–14 40 (65) 1004 Western Mexico None None storm Otto November 25–26 70 (110) 993 None (after crossover) None None 23 January 7 – November 26 150 (240) 940 95800000 $ 18 See also Tropical cyclones Weather of 2016 Tropical cyclones in 2016 List of Pacific hurricanes Pacific hurricane season 2016 Atlantic hurricane season 2016 Pacific typhoon season 2016 North Indian Ocean cyclone season South-West Indian Ocean cyclone seasons: 2015–16, 2016–17 Australian region cyclone seasons: 2015–16, 2016–17 South Pacific cyclone seasons: 2015–16, 2016–17 South Atlantic tropical cyclone Notes "nb" References 30em External links National Hurricane Center Website National Hurricane Center's Eastern Pacific Tropical Weather Outlook Central Pacific Hurricane Center Servicio Meteorológico Nacional Website es NHC 2016 Pacific hurricane season archive 2010 Pacific hurricane 2016 Category:Pacific hurricane seasons 2016 Epac
