On July 25, 2016, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) began monitoring a tropical wave over the eastern Atlantic along the coast of West Africa. The wave's emergence over water was accompanied by a surge in moisture, leading to the development of scattered convection. [1] Early on July 26, a 1010 mbar (hPa; 29.83 inHg) surface low developed along the wave axis (confirmed by scatterometer data and nearby observations); [2] however, this feature was transient and soon dissipated. [3] Moving quickly westward, the system was expected to encounter more favorable conditions for development within three days. [4] The rapid motion prevented initial development, [5] resulting in poor organization of the associated convection. [6] The thunderstorms increased on July 30 as the wave began moving through the Lesser Antilles, [7] assisted by above-normal water temperatures and light wind shear. [8] Despite more convective organization and the presence of strong winds, the lack of a surface circulation prevented the system from being classified as a tropical cyclone. [9] On July 31, the wave entered the Caribbean Sea while continuing its fast forward motion. [10]

While passing south of the Dominican Republic on August 1, the system became much better organized, producing tropical storm-force winds in its northern periphery. [11] The fast forward motion allowed the system to develop despite an increase in upper-level wind shear, although the shear decreased as water temperatures increased along the wave's path. [12] A Hurricane Hunters mission was scheduled to fly into the system on August 1, but it could not investigate because of mechanical problems. [13] Early on August 2, the system passed south of Jamaica, [14] and a Hurricane Hunters flight was able to observe a closed circulation. As a result, the NHC classified the system as Tropical Storm Earl at 16:00  UTC that day, located 215 mi (350 km) south-southeast of Grand Cayman and situated between Jamaica and northeastern Honduras. [15]

Upon its classification, Earl was still moving quickly westward, steered by the strong flow of a ridge located over the southern United States. [15] Earl gradually intensified after its development [16] and developed a mid-level eye feature. The center reformed more to the south, bringing Earl close to the northern coastline of Honduras and into the Gulf of Honduras. [17] Late on August 3, observations from the Hurricane Hunters indicated that Earl intensified into a hurricane near the Bay Islands. [18] The eyewall, visible from the coast of Belize, was closed at times [19] and the peak winds briefly increased to 85 mph (140 km/h). [20] Around 06:00 UTC on August 4, Earl made landfall about 6 mi (9.7 km) south of Belize City, Belize, at this intensity. [21]

Moving over the Yucatán Peninsula and across the mountainous terrain of northern Guatemala, Earl quickly weakened; its convection diminished, although its circulation remained well-defined. [22] By late on August 4, the convection was limited to a small area southeast of the center, and close proximity to land was expected to limit development. [23] On August 5, most of the circulation of Earl emerged into the southern Bay of Campeche. [24] Later that day, a Hurricane Hunters mission indicated that the storm re-intensified and had sustained winds of 60 mph (95 km/h), reporting flight-level winds of 68 mph (109 km/h). [25] At 02:00 UTC on August 6, Earl made its final landfall just south of Veracruz. The storm rapidly weakened over the mountains of eastern Mexico, [26] and the circulation dissipated by 15:00 UTC. Moisture from the storm interacted with a disturbance on the Pacific coast of Mexico, [27] which the NHC monitored as an area for development and soon developed into Tropical Storm Javier. [28]

Ahead of the precursor wave that became Earl, the NHC advised people in the Leeward Islands, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Hispaniola to closely monitor the system. [9] The National Weather Service issued a flash flood watch for the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. [8] In Jamaica, the government activated its National Emergency Center, which advised residents in low-lying areas and near the coast to evacuate. The Cayman Islands Government issued a tropical storm watch for all three islands. Fishermen were also advised to remain at port in both Jamaica and the Cayman Islands. [13]

After Earl formed, the government of Honduras issued a tropical storm warning for its entire northern coastline, from Cape Gracias a Dios westward to the border with Guatemala. [29] Two international airports along the northern coast were closed, and classes in seven departments were canceled. [30] [31] A red alert was issued for the offshore Bay Islands, advising residents in at-risk areas to evacuate. [32] [33] In northern Guatemala, about 2,000 people evacuated due to the storm, [34] including around 100 people in Melchor de Mencos. [33] Classes were canceled in Petén and Izabal departments, [35] and the Mundo Maya International Airport was closed. [36] The government of El Salvador advised residents to take caution when boating or fishing due to the storm's threat. [37]

The governments of Belize and Mexico also issued a tropical storm warning and a hurricane watch from Belize's border with Guatemala northward to Punta Allen, [29] which was upgraded to a hurricane warning from Belize's border with Guatemala to Costa Maya, Mexico, after Earl intensified. [38] The Belize Red Cross Society distributed messages about the hurricane via social media. [39] Across the country, 29 shelters were opened, [33] housing 2,500 people. [40] Non-essential government workers were allowed to return home to secure their property. [41] The Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport closed during the storm's passage, [42] but was reopened on August 4. During the storm, schools, businesses, and ports were closed, while hospitals were on standby. [43] Officials in Mexico opened 750 emergency shelters in Quintana Roo, helping 300 families to evacuate along a river in the southeastern portion of the state. [33] In Tabasco state, the military activated 1,500 troops for relief work, [44] while along the Bay of Campeche, offshore petroleum companies evacuated their workers. [30]

The precursor to Earl brought strong winds and heavy rainfall to the Dominican Republic. These meteorological conditions interrupted traffic, flooded areas, and sparked landslides. [52] Along the northern coast near Nagua, the system's strong winds knocked a power line onto a bus, causing a fire that killed six people and injured 12. [13] A boat with nine excursionists capsized in Samaná Bay inside Los Haitises National Park; a woman and the captain were found alive, while seven of the excursionists died. [13] [45]

Heavy rain caused flooding in parts of Montego Bay, Jamaica. [53]

Despite storm warnings, a lobster boat capsized along northern Honduras with 83 people aboard, [54] with two people missing. [51] The storm's fringes damaged three houses in Cortés Department, [30] after heavy rainfall was reported along the coast. One person was injured in San Pedro Sula. [55]

In northern Guatemala, Earl dropped heavy rainfall that reached 7.0 in (177 mm) in Melchor de Mencos in the country's northern Petén Department. In the department's capital Flores, the rainfall totaled 5.7 in (146 mm), which represents 80% of the typical August rainfall there. [56] The rains increased the water level of the Chixoy River, which reached a depth of 3.4 m (11 ft). [57] Severe flooding knocked down trees and swelled rivers, which wrecked a bridge in Melchor de Mencos. [58] The rains also knocked down two main power lines in Flores, [59] which was the main power line leading into Petén Department, leaving 63,00 people without power. [36] At least 162 homes and 1,250 acres (510 hectares) of crops were damaged, with 200 farms suffering total losses. [60] [46] [47] A total of 1,046 people were affected, [46] of whom 500 were rendered homeless across the country. [47]

The combination of 9–12 in (230–300 mm) in rainfall and a storm surge flooded coastal areas across central and northern Belize, including the cayes. [61] During the storm, the City Emergency Management Organization, in addition to the Belize Defence Force, responded to over 100 search and rescue requests. [61] Flash flooding occurred in Cayo District, forcing additional residents to evacuate. [62] Water levels remained high along rivers and dams for up to a week after the storm. [63] Hurricane-force winds caused widespread infrastructure damage that affected power lines, transformers, and roofs. [61] Two cell sites were destroyed, restricting cellular data service. [64] The only part of the country that did not lose power during the storm was the northern portion of Belize. [62] The resulting heavy debris blocked thoroughfares in affected areas, [61] and bridges were damaged in San Ignacio and Calla Creek. [65] Overall damage was heaviest in the country's central and western regions where several rivers burst their banks. [66] Preliminary surveys indicate that Earl damaged or destroyed approximately 2,000 homes in Belize, [67] affecting 10,000 people. [68] Agricultural damage across the country was estimated at over US$100 million, [48] and overall damage was estimated at BZ$220 million (US$110 million). [68] According to the final report of the International Red Cross, 10,355 people in 2,071 families were affected. [69]

On the offshore San Pedro Town, the storm damaged businesses reliant on tourism, such as docks and scuba shops. [48] Despite the damage from the storm effects, the tourism industry grew in 2016 over the previous year. [70] About 80% of the houses in Belize District were flooded, which is where Belize City is located. [48] Over 1,000 people were displaced in the city, causing overcrowding in 13 shelters. [62] In Belize City, all power and some communications were down during the storm, which made it difficult to relay the city's conditions to the outside world. [71] Flooding in the city damaged many houses made of wood. [62]

While Earl was over the Yucatán Peninsula, it produced wind gusts of 53 mph (85 km/h) in Ciudad del Carmen, Campeche. The interaction between Earl and a large low-level cyclonic gyre produced torrential rainfall across southern Mexico. [72] Rainfall in Mexico peaked at 13.28 in (337.2 mm) in Manzanillo, and 12.41 in (315.2 mm) in Huauchinango. [73] A station in Chiapas recorded about 7 in (180 mm) of rainfall. [24] The rains caused landslides across the mountainous areas of eastern Mexico that buried areas in several feet with mud, [74] killing at least 54 people, [50] including 18 children. [75] This made Earl the deadliest Atlantic hurricane to impact Mexico since Hurricane Stan in 2005. [73]

The floods and landslides heavily damaged roads in mountainous and isolated areas of Veracruz and Puebla states, [76] forcing 1,700 families to leave their homes to shelters. [75] In Veracruz, the storm and the resultant landslides damaged 6,300 homes and 26 roadways, affecting 32,500 people and killing 13. [50] [77] Floods isolated 18 villages in the southern and central portion of the state. [74] [78] [79] Sixty-six schools sustained varying degrees of damage. [80] Landslides in northern Puebla killed at least 41 people after several homes were covered. [50] At least 10 people were reported missing in the state. [81] In Chicahuaxtla, landslides damaged 350 homes and blocked roads to the village, cutting off power and water supply. [82] The municipality of Huauchinango was hardest-hit after a month's worth of rain fell in approximately 24 hours. [74] At least 13 people died in Huauchinango, including 7 children. A landslide in Xaltepec killed 11 people, [83] and three fatalities occurred in Tlaola. [78] Damage in Huauchinango exceeded 100 million pesos (US$5.33 million). [84] The storm wrecked two bridges and damaged several highways in Puebla. [74] In Hidalgo, one death also occurred, [83] although the cause of death was not conclusively linked to Earl. [50] At least ten homes were destroyed in the state. [85] Total damage in Mexico is estimated to be at least US$132 million. [49]

Aftermath

In northern Guatemala, 466 people required government aid due to damage from Earl. Officials provided 15 tons of supplies to the victims, including food, water, and blankets. [57]

On August 4, the government of Belize declared a 30-day state of emergency. [86] The government focused their initial disaster response on search and rescue missions, medical care, helping storm victims, cleaning debris from roads, and restoring utilities. [39] The country's Minister of Works sent employees to clear blocked highways, [87] and the government hired residents to help clean the streets from debris. [48] Workers quickly restored 75% of the power outages within a day of the hurricane's passage, [66] which increased to 99% by August 11. [88] All emergency shelters closed on August 12, and the remaining displaced families were provided rent-free lodging for up to three months. [89] The National Relief and Supplies Management Committee provided food, water, cleaning supplies, tarps, and mattresses to affected residents, [64] helping 8,000 people by August 10. [65] Damage to water systems resulted in decreased water pressure in buildings, [64] possibly contaminating the nation's water supply. As a result, the Health Ministry advised residents to treat drinking water, [48] and officials worked to repair water systems in the week after the storm's passage. [68] The Belize Water Service sent a truck to the Old Northern Highway. [65] About 90% of residents in damaged houses enacted their own repairs, with the help of neighbors. [48] To assist with disaster relief, the European Union donated €50,000 to Belize through the Disaster Relief Emergency Fund of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. [90] Taiwan sent US$100,000 to the country. The Inter-American Development Bank provided US$200,000 to Belize to purchase food, medicine, and supplies to rebuild. [91] Belize Telemedia Limited also donated US$50,000 toward disaster relief, [89] and Norwegian Cruise Line donated BZ$100,000. [92] The Belize government received US$261,073 from the Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility, having first bought an excess rainfall policy in June 2016. [93] UNICEF acted as the primary coordinating agency for the United Nations, its first emergency in that capacity. The agency provided the government with $35,000 toward clean-up, 430 family hygiene kits, and emergency SMSs to be distributed by phone. [89]

In eastern Mexico, a state of emergency was declared in three municipalities in Quintana Roo and two in Chiapas. [94] [95] Puebla governor Rafael Moreno Valle and municipal mayors declared a state of emergency for 29 municipalities by August 12, [81] while in Veracruz, 87 municipalities were declared states of emergency. [96] Mexico's Secretary for Social Development provided $3.6 million (MXN, US$190,800) to three communities in Veracruz toward temporary work programs. [97] The country's Ministry of Public Education provided $200 million (MXN, US$11 million) toward rebuilding schools damaged by Earl. [98] Soup kitchens opened in the disaster zones to help storm victims. [99] In the landslide-struck regions of eastern Mexico, a crew of 600 soldiers and rescue workers searched the mountains for storm victims, with the assistance of sniffer dogs. [74] Supplies were distributed throughout Puebla, including water, sanitary products, and clothing. [100] Officials sent trucks containing food, water, and oil to the hard-hit town of Huauchinango, enough supplies for 1,800 people for ten days. [99] The Mexican Red Cross brought ambulances to the isolated community Chicauaxtla, where they helped assess the scope of the storm damage. [101] The Inter-American Development Bank provided US$200,000 to purchase blankets, food, and cleaning supplies for storm victims. [102] Other assistance included CHF143,000 from the International Red Cross and US$50,000 from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. [40]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Keith</span> Category 4 Atlantic hurricane in 2000

Hurricane Keith was a tropical cyclone in October 2000 that caused extensive damage in Central America, especially in Mexico and Belize. It was the fifteenth tropical cyclone, eleventh named storm, and seventh hurricane of the 2000 Atlantic hurricane season. Keith developed as a tropical depression from a tropical wave in the western Caribbean Sea on September 28. The depression gradually strengthened, and became Tropical Storm Keith on the following day. As the storm tracked westward, it continued to intensify and was upgraded to a hurricane on September 30. Shortly thereafter, Keith began to rapidly deepen, and peaked as a Category 4 hurricane less than 24 hours later. Keith then began to meander erratically offshore of Belize, which significantly weakened the storm due to land interaction. By late on October 2, Keith made landfall in Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker, Belize as a minimal hurricane. It quickly weakened to a tropical storm, before another landfall occurred near Belize City early on the following day. While moving inland over the Yucatán Peninsula, Keith weakened further, and was downgraded to a tropical depression before emerging into the Gulf of Mexico on October 4. Once in the Gulf of Mexico, Keith began to re-strengthen and was upgraded to a tropical storm later that day, and a hurricane on the following day. By late on October 5, Keith made its third and final landfall near Tampico, Tamaulipas, Mexico as a moderately strong Category 1 hurricane. The storm quickly weakened inland and dissipated as a tropical cyclone by 24 hours after landfall.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Iris</span> Category 4 Atlantic hurricane in 2001

Hurricane Iris was a small, but powerful tropical cyclone that caused widespread destruction in Belize. Iris was the second-strongest storm of the 2001 Atlantic hurricane season, behind Hurricane Michelle. It was the ninth named storm, fifth hurricane, and third major hurricane of the year, forming from a tropical wave on October 4 just southeast of Barbados. It moved westward through the Caribbean, intensifying into a tropical storm on October 5 south of Puerto Rico, and into a hurricane on the following day. While passing south of the Dominican Republic, Iris dropped heavy rainfall that caused landslides, killing eight people. Later, the hurricane passed south of Jamaica, where it destroyed two houses. On reaching the western Caribbean Sea, Iris rapidly intensified into a Category 4 on the Saffir–Simpson scale. A small hurricane with an eye of only 7 mi (11 km) in diameter, Iris reached peak winds of 145 mph (233 km/h) before making landfall in southern Belize near Monkey River Town on October 9. The hurricane quickly dissipated over Central America, although its remnants contributed to the formation of Tropical Storm Manuel in the eastern Pacific Ocean. The hurricane caused severe damage—destroying homes, flooding streets, and leveling trees—in coastal towns south of Belize City.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Emily (2005)</span> Category 5 Atlantic hurricane

Hurricane Emily was a powerful early season tropical cyclone that caused significant damage across the Lesser Antilles, the Caribbean, and Mexico. The fifth named storm of the record-breaking 2005 Atlantic hurricane season, Emily was the only recorded Category 5 Atlantic hurricane to have formed in the month of July until Hurricane Beryl in 2024. It formed on July 11 from a tropical wave, which progressed westward across the Atlantic. Three days later, the hurricane struck Grenada before entering the eastern Caribbean Sea. After fluctuating in intensity, Emily strengthened to attain maximum sustained winds of 260 km/h (160 mph) on July 16 while passing southwest of Jamaica. Slight weakening occurred before Emily made landfall along Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula on July 18. Quickly crossing the peninsula, Emily emerged into the Gulf of Mexico and reorganized, making a second landfall in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas on July 20. It rapidly weakened and dissipated over land.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Stan</span> Category 1 Atlantic hurricane in 2005

Hurricane Stan was the deadliest tropical cyclone of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. A relatively weak system that affected areas of Central America and Mexico in early October 2005, Stan was the eighteenth named storm and eleventh hurricane of the 2005 season, having formed from a tropical wave on October 1 after it had moved into the western Caribbean. The depression slowly intensified, and reached tropical storm intensity the following day, before subsequently making its first landfall on the Yucatán Peninsula. While traversing the peninsula, the tropical storm weakened, but was able to re-intensify once it entered the Bay of Campeche. Under favorable conditions for tropical cyclogenesis, Stan attained hurricane strength on October 4, and later reached peak intensity with winds of 80 mph (130 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 977 mbar (28.9 inHg). The hurricane maintained this intensity until landfall in the Mexican state of Veracruz later the same day. Once over the mountainous terrain of Mexico, however, Stan quickly weakened, and dissipated on October 5.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Gert</span> Category 2 Atlantic and Pacific hurricane in 1993

Hurricane Gert was a large tropical cyclone that caused extensive flooding and mudslides throughout Central America and Mexico in September 1993. The seventh named storm and third hurricane of the annual hurricane season, Gert originated as a tropical depression from a tropical wave over the southwestern Caribbean Sea on September 14. The next day, the cyclone briefly attained tropical storm strength before moving ashore in Nicaragua and proceeding through Honduras. It reorganized into a tropical storm over the Gulf of Honduras on September 17, but weakened back to a depression upon crossing the Yucatán Peninsula. Once over the warm waters of the Bay of Campeche, Gert quickly strengthened into a Category 2 hurricane by September 20. The hurricane made a final landfall on the Gulf Coast of Mexico near Tuxpan, Veracruz, with peak winds of 100 mph (160 km/h). The rugged terrain disrupted the cyclone's structure; Gert entered the Pacific Ocean as a depression near the state of Nayarit on September 21, where it briefly redeveloped a few strong thunderstorms before dissipating at sea five days later.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Tropical Storm Marco (2008)</span> Atlantic tropical storm in 2008

Tropical Storm Marco was the smallest tropical cyclone on record by radius of winds from its center. The thirteenth named storm of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season, Marco developed out of a broad area of low pressure over the northwestern Caribbean during late September 2008. Influenced by a tropical wave on October 4, a small low-level circulation center developed over Belize. After crossing the southern end of the Yucatán Peninsula and emerging into the Bay of Campeche, the low was declared Tropical Depression Thirteen early on October 6. The depression quickly intensified into a tropical storm and was given the name Marco later that day. Marco reached its peak intensity with winds of 65 mph (100 km/h) early on October 7. Around this time, tropical storm force winds extended 11.5 miles (18.5 km) from the center of the storm, making Marco the smallest tropical cyclone on record. Around 1200 UTC, Marco made landfall near Misantla, Veracruz. The storm rapidly weakened after landfall, dissipating later that day.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">October 2008 Central America floods</span> Atlantic tropical depression in 2008

The October 2008 Central America floods were caused by a series of low-pressure areas including Tropical Depression Sixteen, a short-lived tropical cyclone in the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season that made landfall in Honduras. Heavy rainfall began in early October 2008 while a tropical wave passed through the region. On October 14, Tropical Depression Sixteen formed just off the northeast coast of Honduras, and at the same time a low-pressure system was on the Pacific coast. Both systems increased rainfall across the region, although the depression dropped heavy rainfall close to its center when it moved ashore on October 15. Although Tropical Depression Sixteen quickly dissipated over land, its remnants persisted for several days. Another low-pressure area interacted with a cold front on October 21, adding to the rainfall in the region.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Tropical Storm Agatha</span> Pacific tropical storm in 2010

Tropical Storm Agatha was a weak but deadly tropical cyclone that brought widespread floods to much of Central America, and was the deadliest storm in the eastern Pacific tropical cyclone basin since Hurricane Pauline in 1997. The first named storm of the 2010 Pacific hurricane season, Agatha originated from the Intertropical Convergence Zone, a region of thunderstorms across the tropics. It developed into a tropical depression on May 29 and tropical storm later, it was dissipated on May 30, reaching top winds of 45 mph and a lowest pressure of 1000 mbar. It made landfall near the Guatemala–Mexico border on the evening of May 29. Agatha produced torrential rain all across Central America, which resulted in the death of one person in Nicaragua. In Guatemala, 152 people were killed and 100 left missing by landslides. Thirteen deaths also occurred in El Salvador. Agatha soon dissipated over Guatemala. As of June 15, officials in Guatemala have stated that 165 people were killed and 113 others are missing.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Effects of Tropical Storm Agatha in Guatemala</span>

The effects of Tropical Storm Agatha in Guatemala were some of the worst from a tropical cyclone in the country on record, which included 182 deaths and nearly a billion dollars in damage. The storm rapidly formed and make landfall as a weak tropical storm on May 29, however, destructive floods contributed to mudslides and sinkholes affected the country until June 1, causing extensive damage.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Karl</span> Category 3 Atlantic hurricane in 2010

Hurricane Karl was the most destructive tropical cyclone on record to strike the Mexican state of Veracruz. The eleventh tropical storm, sixth hurricane, and fifth and final major hurricane of the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season, Karl formed from an area of low pressure which had formed off of the northern coast of Venezuela on September 11. It crossed the Caribbean and was upgraded to Tropical Storm Karl on September 14. The cyclone made landfall on the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico as a strong tropical storm, and then rapidly strengthened in the Bay of Campeche before it made landfall near the city of Veracruz, on the central Mexican Gulf coast, as a major hurricane. This marked the first known time that a major hurricane existed in the Bay of Campeche. Afterwards, the storm rapidly weakened over the mountains of Mexico and dissipated on September 18.

The fifteenth tropical cyclone and thirteenth named storm of the year, Matthew formed on September 23 and lost its tropical characteristics in the morning of September 26. However, its remnants continued to produce life-threatening rain over parts of Central America as it dissipated.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Paula</span> Category 2 Atlantic hurricane in 2010

Hurricane Paula was a small hurricane that struck Honduras and Cuba in October 2010. The eighteenth tropical cyclone, sixteenth named storm, and ninth hurricane of the season, Paula developed from a low pressure area over the southwestern Caribbean Sea on October 11. Moving northwestward, it slowly organized and was upgraded to a tropical storm shortly thereafter. Around midday on October 11, Paula made landfall near Cabo Gracias a Dios at the border of Honduras and Nicaragua. In northeastern Honduras, strong winds destroyed several homes, while rainfall destroyed a few roads and dozens of buildings, include a school and a police station. Favorable conditions such as low wind shear and warm sea surface temperatures allowed Paula to reach hurricane status early on October 12. Further intensification occurred, and the storm peaked with winds of 105 mph (165 km/h) while curving northward on October 13.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Ernesto (2012)</span> Category 2 Atlantic hurricane in 2012

Hurricane Ernesto was a Category 2 hurricane and a damaging tropical cyclone that affected several Caribbean Islands and areas of Central America during August 2012. The fifth named storm and second hurricane of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season, Ernesto originated from a tropical wave that emerged off the west coast of Africa in late July. Moving westward, the system developed into a tropical depression in the central Atlantic, and further into a tropical storm prior to entering the Caribbean Sea. The system encountered high wind shear south of Jamaica but subsequently reached its peak intensity as a Category 2 hurricane as it made landfall on the Yucatán Peninsula. Ernesto briefly emerged in the Bay of Campeche as a strong tropical storm before dissipating over the mountainous terrain of Mexico. The remnant circulation emerged in the eastern Pacific basin, contributing to the formation of Tropical Storm Hector.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Tropical Storm Barry (2013)</span> Atlantic tropical storm in 2013

Tropical Storm Barry was a weak and short-lived tropical cyclone that brought heavy rains to parts of Central America and Mexico in June 2013. Barry originated from a tropical wave that developed in the southern Caribbean Sea. The wave tracked northwestward and began to develop in marginally favorable conditions. On June 17, the disturbance was upgraded to Tropical Depression Two by the National Hurricane Center. Due to its close proximity to land, the system failed to intensify before crossing the southern Yucatán Peninsula. The depression emerged over the Bay of Campeche late on June 18 and became increasingly organized. During the afternoon of June 19, data from Hurricane Hunters revealed the system had intensified into a tropical storm. The newly named Barry attained peak winds of 45 mph (75 km/h) before making landfall in Veracruz, Mexico on June 20. Once onshore, the storm quickly weakened and degenerated into a remnant low that night.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Manuel</span> Category 1 Pacific hurricane in 2013

Hurricane Manuel was a catastrophic tropical cyclone that brought widespread flooding across much of Mexico in September 2013, in conjunction with Hurricane Ingrid. The fifteenth named storm and seventh hurricane of the annual hurricane season, Manuel originated from a strong area of low pressure south of Acapulco on September 13. Within favorable conditions aloft, the storm intensified into a tropical storm as it tracked northward. The following day, Manuel curved westward and strengthened to a point just shy of hurricane intensity before making its first landfall at that intensity on September 15. Due to interaction with land, the tropical storm quickly weakened, and its center dissipated over western Mexico on September 16. However, the storm's remnants continued to track northwestward into the Gulf of California, where they reorganized into a tropical cyclone the next day. Manuel regained tropical storm status on September 18 as it began to curve northeastward. Shortly thereafter, Manuel attained Category 1 hurricane intensity, before making its final landfall just west of Culiacán at peak intensity. Over land, Manuel quickly weakened due to interaction with Mexico's high terrain, and the storm dissipated early on September 20.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Ingrid</span> Category 1 Atlantic hurricane in 2013

Hurricane Ingrid was one of two tropical cyclones, along with Hurricane Manuel, to strike Mexico within a 24-hour period, the first such occurrence since 1958. Ingrid was the ninth named storm and second hurricane of the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season. It formed on September 12 in the Gulf of Mexico from a broad disturbance that also spawned Manuel in the eastern Pacific. After initially moving westward toward Veracruz, Ingrid turned northeastward away from the coast. Favorable conditions allowed it to attain hurricane status on September 14, and the next day Ingrid attained peak winds of 140 km/h (85 mph). Subsequently, increased wind shear weakened the convection as the storm turned more to the northwest and west. On September 16, Ingrid made landfall just south of La Pesca, Tamaulipas in northeastern Mexico as a strong tropical storm, and dissipated the next day. The hurricane was also the last one to form in the Gulf of Mexico until Hurricane Hermine in 2016.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Nana (2020)</span> Category 1 Atlantic hurricane

Hurricane Nana was a small, short-lived tropical cyclone that caused relatively minor damage in Belize and Mexico in early September 2020. The sixteenth tropical cyclone, fourteenth named storm, and fifth hurricane of the record-breaking 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, Nana originated from a tropical wave that moved off the coast of West Africa on August 23. The system progressed westward with little development for the next week before crossing into the Caribbean Sea. The wave gradually developed organized convection and a defined surface low on September 1, signifying the formation of Tropical Storm Nana as it approached Jamaica. Persistent wind shear stifled development of the storm, though following repeated bursts of deep convection, it intensified into a minimal hurricane on September 3. Nana attained peak winds of 75 mph (121 km/h) and a minimum pressure of 994 mbar shortly before striking Belize. Once onshore, the hurricane rapidly degraded and its surface low dissipated over Guatemala on September 4. The mid-level remnants of Nana later reorganized over the Gulf of Tehuantepec and became Tropical Storm Julio.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Tropical Storm Helene (2012)</span> Tropical storm in 2012

Tropical Storm Helene was a weak tropical storm which affected the southern Caribbean and Central America in mid-August 2012. The seventh tropical depression and eighth named storm of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season, Helene was monitored as a tropical wave that exited the west coast of the African continent on August 5. It gradually moved westward and became a tropical depression east of the Lesser Antilles four days later. However, unfavorable conditions initially prevented it from developing, which led to its initial degeneration to a remnant low as it traversed the Caribbean Sea.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Julia (2022)</span> Category 1 Atlantic and Pacific hurricane

Hurricane Julia was a deadly tropical cyclone that caused significant impacts in Central America as a Category 1 hurricane in October 2022. The tenth named storm and fifth hurricane of the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season, Julia formed from a tropical wave over the southern Caribbean Sea on October 7, just off the coast of South America. Only one storm on record, Tropical Storm Bret in 1993, has tracked further south over South America.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Tropical Storm Nadine (2024)</span> Atlantic tropical storm

Tropical Storm Nadine was a short-lived tropical cyclone that made landfall in Belize in October 2024. The fourteenth named storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, Nadine originated from a non-tropical disturbance over the western Caribbean Sea, and underwent tropical cyclogenesis on the same day. After developing a closed circulation, the system was named Nadine by the National Hurricane Center on October 19. After gradually strengthening as it neared the coast, Nadine then made landfall near Belize City with 60 mph winds. After moving across Belize and Guatemala, it then weakened to a tropical depression before degenerating to a remnant low over southeastern Mexico. Its remnants later contributed to the formation of Hurricane Kristy in the eastern Pacific.
