There were eleven hurricanes, of which six became major hurricanes. Following the inactivity of the previous seasons, forecasters predicted that season would be only slightly above active. It was also the first time since 2003 in which one cyclone of at least tropical storm intensity made landfall. The season officially began on May 15 in the East Pacific Ocean, and on June 1 in the Central Pacific; they ended on November 30. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Pacific basin. However, the formation of tropical cyclones is possible at any time of the year. Seasonal activity began on May 27, when Tropical Storm Aletta formed off the southwest coast of Mexico. The season became active in July when five named storms developed. These included Hurricane Daniel, which was the second strongest storm of the season, as well as Tropical Storm Emilia. During August, Hurricanes Ioke and John formed, as well as four other storms. The strongest storm of the season was Hurricane Ioke, which reached Category 5 status on the Saffir–Simpson scale in the central Pacific Ocean; Ioke passed near Johnston Atoll and later Wake Island, where it caused heavy damage. The deadliest storm of the season was Hurricane John, which killed six people after striking the Baja California Peninsula, and the costliest storm was Hurricane Lane, which caused $203 million in damage in southwestern Mexico (2006 USD, $US 203000000 2006  USD). Damage across the basin reached $355.1 million (2006 USD), while 14 people were killed by the various storms. __TOC__ Seasonal forecast +Predictions of tropical activity in the 2006 seasonSourceDateNamedstormsHurricanesMajorhurricanesRefCPCAverageClimate Prediction Center, NOAA May 22, 2006 Background Information: East Pacific Hurricane Season National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration May 24, 2006 http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/Epac_hurr/background_information.html https://web.archive.org/web/20090509063106/http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/Epac_hurr/background_information.html May 9, 2009 live 15.38.84.2NOAAMay 22, 200612–166–81–3Actual activity18105 On May 22, 2006, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) CPC (CPC) released their forecasts for the 2006 Atlantic and Pacific hurricane seasons. The Pacific season was expected to be hindered by the decades-long cycle that began in 1995, which generally increased wind shear across the basin. NOAA predicted a below-normal level of activity in the Eastern Pacific, with 12–16 named storms, of which 6–8 were expected to become hurricanes, and 1–3 expected to become major hurricanes.Climate Prediction Center, NOAA May 22, 2006 NOAA Expects Below Average 2006 East Pacific Hurricane Season National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration May 22, 2006 http://www.publicaffairs.noaa.gov/releases2006/may06/noaa06-054.html https://web.archive.org/web/20110721060041/http://www.publicaffairs.noaa.gov/releases2006/may06/noaa06-054.html July 21, 2011 dead The Central Pacific Hurricane Center's area of responsibility was also expected to be below average, with only two to three tropical cyclones expected to form or cross into the area.Central Pacific Hurricane Center, NOAA May 22, 2006 NOAA Announces Central Pacific Hurricane Season Outlook National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration June 10, 2006 http://www.publicaffairs.noaa.gov/releases2006/may06/noaa06-r254.html https://web.archive.org/web/20110516084841/http://www.publicaffairs.noaa.gov/releases2006/may06/noaa06-r254.html May 16, 2011 dead They expected that neither El Niño nor La Niña would affect conditions significantly.

Therefore, a storm with a longer duration, such as Hurricane Ioke, which arrived with a total of 32.2250 units and then crossed to the Western Pacific, will have high values of ACE. It is only calculated for full advisories on specific tropical and subtropical systems reaching or exceeding wind speeds of 39 mph km/h on. Overall, there were 19 tropical storms. In addition, 11 hurricanes developed. Furthermore, there were total of six major hurricanes, Category 3 or greater on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale. The season officially started on May 15 in the East Pacific Ocean, and on June 1 in the Central Pacific; they both ended on November 30. No tropical storms developed in June in the basin, which was unusual compared to the average of two storms forming during the month. From 1966 to 2008, there have been only three other seasons in which a tropical storm did not form in June, these being 1969, 2004, 2007 seasons.Beven July 1, 2007 June Monthly Weather Tropical Summary National Hurricane Center September 5, 2008 http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2007/tws/MIATWSEP_jun.shtml? https://web.archive.org/web/20080922220858/http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2007/tws/MIATWSEP_jun.shtml September 22, 2008 live etal After such an inactive month, the tropics became active in July when five named storms developed, including Hurricane Daniel which was the second strongest storm of the season. During August, Hurricanes Ioke and John formed, as well as four other storms. September was a relatively quiet month with two storms, of which one was Hurricane Lane. By that time, however, El Niño conditions became established across the Pacific, which is known to enhance Pacific hurricane activity. Three storms developed in October, including Hurricane Paul. Tropical activity within the basin in November 2006 was the most active on record, based on the ACE Index. Three tropical cyclones formed, of which two became tropical storms; only one other season on record at the time, 1961, produced two tropical storms in the month of November.Pasch December 1, 2006 Summary of the 2006 Pacific Hurricane Season National Hurricane Center October 3, 2008 http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2006/tws/MIATWSEP_nov.shtml? https://web.archive.org/web/20080923102804/http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2006/tws/MIATWSEP_nov.shtml September 23, 2008 live etal In addition, Mexico was struck by four tropical cyclones in 2006, none on the Atlantic coast and all along the Pacific coast.RAIV Hurricane Committee 2007 Final Report of the Twenty-Ninth Session World Meteorological Organization November 17, 2008 http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/tcp/documents/HC29_final_report-english.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20081217100921/http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/tcp/documents/HC29_final_report-english.pdf December 17, 2008 live One hit Baja California Peninsula while the others made landfall on the mainland.Blake, Eric S Gibney, Ethan J Brown, Daniel P Mainelli, Michelle Franklin, James L Kimberlain, Todd B 2009 Hammer, Gregory R http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pdf/TC_Book_Epac_1949-2006_hires.pdf May 27, 2012 Tropical Cyclones of the Eastern North Pacific Basin, 1949–2006 United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration https://web.archive.org/web/20140109083927/http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pdf/TC_Book_Epac_1949-2006_hires.pdf January 9, 2014 live An extratropical storm persisted in the extreme northern central Pacific Ocean in late October. It drifted over unusually warm waters up to 3.6 °F (2 °C) above normal, and gradually developed convection near the center. By November 2, QuikSCAT satellite suggested the system attained winds of up to 60 mph km/h on 5 about 900 mi km on 5 west of Oregon. The system also developed an eye and an eyewall. The cyclone tracked northeastward as it gradually weakened, and dissipated on November 4. NASA considered the cyclone to be a subtropical storm. However, as it formed outside of the territory of any monitoring organization, it was not named. Operationally, the United States Navy treated the system as a tropical disturbance, numbered 91C.David Herring NASA Subtropical Storm off the Coast of Oregon November 2, 2006 December 11, 2007 http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/natural_hazards_v2.php3?img_id=13951 https://web.archive.org/web/20081026172004/http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/natural_hazards_v2.php3?img_id=13951 October 26, 2008 dead Systems Tropical Storm Aletta EPac Tropical Storm Aletta (2006).jpg Aletta 2006 path.png May 27 May 30 40 1002 The first storm of the year had its genesis from a tropical wave that crossed Central America and entered the East Pacific on May 21. The system interacted with a trough near the Gulf of Tehuantepec, causing thunderstorms to increase. A large low-pressure area formed on May 25 south of Mexico, which organized slowly due to wind shear in the region.

Hurricane Daniel EPac Daniel 2006-07-21 2155Z.jpg Daniel 2006 path.png July 16 July 26 130 933 A tropical wave exited the west coast of Africa on July 2, which crossed into the eastern Pacific Ocean ten days later. Convection increased and slowly organized as the system moved westward, steered by a mid-level ridge. With convective rainbands near an associated low-level circulation, the system developed into a tropical depression late on July 16, located about 525 miles (845 km) south-southwest of Manzanillo, Colima. Conditions favored further development, including warm sea surface temperatures, very low amounts of wind shear, and an established anticyclone. On July 17, the depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Daniel, as outflow improved and banding features developed. The thunderstorms organized into a central dense overcast, and in the center, an eye developed. Late on July 18, Daniel attained hurricane status. It underwent an eyewall replacement cycle, temporarily halting its intensification trend. Daniel restrengthened and attained major hurricane status on July 20. The structure evolved into an annular hurricane, with a large and large eye 30 mi (45 km) in diameter. On July 21, the hurricane underwent another eyewall replacement cycle. Afterward, Daniel attained peak winds of 150 mph (240 km/h) early on July 22, making it a strong Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale. It maintained peak winds for about 18 hours before weakening due to cooler waters. Daniel entered the Central Pacific on July 24. It decelerated as the ridge to its north weakened, and due to the combination of cool waters and increasing easterly shear, Daniel weakened to a tropical storm on July 25. The thunderstorms dwindled, and Daniel fell to tropical depression status on July 26. A day later, it degenerated into a remnant low, which dissipated just southeast of the Big Island of Hawaii on July 28.Jack Beven 2006 Hurricane Daniel Tropical Cyclone Report National Hurricane Center July 18, 2007 EP052006_Daniel PDFBeven 2006 Tropical Depression Five-E Discussion One National Hurricane Center July 29, 2007 http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2006/ep05/ep052006.discus.001.shtml?Pasch 2006 Tropical Depression Five-E Discussion Two National Hurricane Center July 29, 2007 http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2006/ep05/ep052006.discus.002.shtml?Stewart 2006 Tropical Storm Daniel Discussion Three National Hurricane Center July 29, 2007 http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2006/ep05/ep052006.discus.003.shtml?Mainelli & Avila 2006 Tropical Storm Daniel Discussion Five National Hurricane Center July 29, 2007 http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2006/ep05/ep052006.discus.005.shtml?Pasch 2006 Tropical Storm Daniel Discussion Six National Hurricane Center July 29, 2007 http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2006/ep05/ep052006.discus.006.shtml?Rhome & Stewart 2006 Hurricane Daniel Discussion Eight National Hurricane Center July 29, 2007 http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2006/ep05/ep052006.discus.008.shtml?Brown 2006 Hurricane Daniel Discussion Sixteen National Hurricane Center December 28, 2007 http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2006/ep05/ep052006.discus.016.shtml?Andy Nash Tim Craig Sam Houston Roy Matsuda Jeff Powell Ray Tanabe Jim Weyman Central Pacific Hurricane Center Honolulu, Hawaii July 2007 2006 Tropical Cyclones Central North Pacific March 7, 2024 https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/CP2006_Seasonal_TCR.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20190609111951/https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/CP2006_Seasonal_TCR.pdf June 9, 2019 live Daniel's remnants moved across the Hawaiian islands, dropping heavy rainfall and causing flooding.

Initially, it was thought that the depression formed from the remnants of Kristy, although subsequent analysis confirmed they were two separate systems. Initially, the depression was in an area of favorable conditions, with little wind shear and warm waters. As a result, the CPHC predicted significant strengthening to at least hurricane status.Tanabe/Houston September 19, 2006 Tropical Depression Two-C Discussion Three Central Pacific Hurricane Center April 15, 2010 http://www.prh.noaa.gov/cphc/tcpages/archive/2006/TCDCP3.CP022006.3.0609191500 https://web.archive.org/web/20120614043559/http://www.prh.noaa.gov/cphc/tcpages/archive/2006/TCDCP3.CP022006.3.0609191500 June 14, 2012 live Instead, a high-pressure system to its north increased wind shear over the depression, causing the convection to become removed from the center.

Tropical Depression Three-C EPac TD 03C 2006 NRL.jpg 03C 2006 path.png September 26 September 27 30 1005 During September, El Niño conditions became established across the Pacific, which produced an area of warmer waters along the International Date Line. A few days after Tropical Depression Two-C dissipated, another area of disturbed weather formed, and although it was disorganized, it was also persistent. The CPHC initiated advisories on Tropical Depression Three-C on September 26 after a circulation was evident in the system. Strong wind shear prevented any development, and the system dissipated on September 27. Tropical Storm Norman EPac TS Norman 09 oct 2006 1849Z.jpg Norman 2006 path.png October 9 October 15 45 1000 A tropical wave moved off the coast of Africa on September 21. It moved across the Atlantic Ocean, entering the eastern Pacific on October 1. By October 5, the system produced a large area of convection. The western portion of the system later developed into Tropical Storm Olivia, while the eastern portion developed into Tropical Depression Fifteen-E early on October 9, about 765 mi km on southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula. The depression moved north-northwestward around the western periphery of a weak ridge. Located over warm water temperatures, the depression intensified into Tropical Storm Norman 12 hours after forming, as its convection organized over the center. Norman attained peak winds of 50 mph km/h on early on October 10. Shortly after peaking in intensity, southwesterly wind shear increased, causing Norman to weaken and lose thunderstorms over the center. At the same time, a trough turned the storm to the east. Early on October 11, Norman degenerated into a remnant low about 530 mi km southwest of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The remnants of Norman interacted with a tropical disturbance off the coast of Mexico, causing convection to reform and organize. Early on October 15, it reformed into a tropical depression, near the coast of southwestern Mexico. The center quickly became less-organized turning northward and northwestward within the larger tropical disturbance. Late on October 15, it is estimated Tropical Depression Norman dissipated 23 mi km south and offshore of Manzanillo, Colima, although satellite imagery suggested the center may have dissipated inland.Jack Beven National Hurricane Center Tropical Cyclone Report: Tropical Storm Norman November 30, 2006 December 4, 2006 http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP152006_Norman.pdf PDF October 2, 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20151002014419/http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP152006_Norman.pdf liveRhome/Pasch 2006-10-09 Tropical Depression Fifteen Special Discussion One National Hurricane Center 2008-08-30 http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2006/ep15/ep152006.discus.001.shtml?James Franklin 2006-10-09 Tropical Storm Norman Discussion Three National Hurricane Center 2008-08-30 http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2006/ep15/ep152006.discus.003.shtml?Knabb/Willis 2006-10-09 Tropical Storm Norman Discussion Six National Hurricane Center 2008-08-30 http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2006/ep15/ep152006.discus.006.shtml?Brown/Knabb 2006-10-09 Tropical Depression Norman Discussion Eleven National Hurricane Center 2008-08-30 http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2006/ep15/ep152006.discus.011.shtml?

Tropical Depression Four-C EPac 04C 2006-10-13 2147Z.jpg 04C 2006 path.png October 13 October 14 30 1007 In the middle of October, the Intertropical Convergence Zone extended across the central Pacific Ocean, resembling an extension of the monsoon trough. An area of disturbed weather formed well to the southwest of Hawaii, organizing slowly for several days. Late on October 13, after the development of a low-level circulation and persistent convection, the CPHC classified the system as Tropical Depression Four-C about 750 mi km on southwest of Honolulu, Hawaii. Upon being classified, the depression was located in an unusual steering flow that caused it to track eastward. Due to the approach of an upper-level trough, it was expected to dissipate quickly from wind shear, although forecasters noted the possibility for the trough to provide an outflow channel, which might allow strengthening.Andy Nash October 13, 2006 Tropical Depression Four-C Discussion One Central Pacific Hurricane Center January 5, 2009 http://www.prh.noaa.gov/cphc/tcpages/archive/2006/TCDCP5.CP042006.1.0610132051 https://web.archive.org/web/20120320053916/http://www.prh.noaa.gov/cphc/tcpages/archive/2006/TCDCP5.CP042006.1.0610132051 March 20, 2012 live On October 14, strong wind shear removed the convection completely from the center, and the system degenerated into a remnant low. The remnant circulation continued slowly eastward, dissipating on October 16. Concurrently, the convection tracked northeastward ahead of the upper-level trough, which contributed to heavy rainfall and flooding on the island of Hawaii on October 17. The rainfall event coincided with the 2006 Kiholo Bay earthquake striking the area.Federal Emergency Management Agency October 17, 2006 National Situation Update January 5, 2009 http://www.fema.gov/emergency/reports/2006/nat101706.shtm dead https://web.archive.org/web/20120703211107/http://www.fema.gov/emergency/reports/2006/nat101706.shtm July 3, 2012 Hurricane Paul EPac Hurricane Paul 23 oct 2006 2030Z.jpg Paul 2006 path.png October 21 October 26 90 970 Hurricane Paul (2006) Hurricane Paul developed from an area of disturbed weather on October 21, and slowly intensified as it moved into an area of warm waters and progressively decreasing wind shear. Paul attained hurricane status on October 23, and later that day it reached its peak intensity of 105 mph km/h on 5, a strong Category 2 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson scale. A strong trough turned the hurricane to the north and northeast into an area of strong vertical shear, and Paul weakened to a tropical storm on October 24, later passing just south of the Baja California Peninsula. Paul weakened to a tropical depression on October 25 a short distance off the coast of Mexico, and after briefly turning away from the coast it made landfall on northwestern Sinaloa on October 26.Jamie R.

Hurricane Sergio EPac Hurricane Sergio 15 nov 2006 1725Z.jpg Sergio 2006 path.png November 13 November 20 95 965 A tropical wave entered the eastern Pacific on November 7, and continued westward. An area of convection along the wave became more concentrated and organized on November 12 while located about 400 mi km south of Acapulco. A day later, the system developed into Tropical Depression Twenty-One-E while located about 460 mi km south of Manzanillo, Mexico. Initially, the tropical depression tracked to the northwest, intensifying into Tropical Storm Sergio on November 14. With deep convection, prominent rainbands, low wind shear, and a moist environment, Sergio intensified as it turned southeastward, steered by a trough to its northeast. Sergio attained hurricane status on November 15 while located about 420 mi km southwest of Acapulco. With a small, distinct eye located in the center of the deep convection, Sergio rapidly intensified to attain peak winds of 110 mph km/h on about 6 hours after becoming a hurricane. Shortly after peaking, Sergio began weakening as shear increased, as its movement turned to the north and northwest. The thunderstorms waxed and waned, causing Sergio to weaken back to a tropical storm on November 17.Richard Pasch and David Roberts 2006 Hurricane Sergio Tropical Cyclone Report National Hurricane Center 2007-02-13 http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP212006_Sergio.pdf October 2, 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20151002014430/http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP212006_Sergio.pdf livePasch & Brown 2006 Tropical Depression Twenty-One-E Special Discussion One NHC 2007-02-13 http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2006/ep21/ep212006.discus.001.shtml?
