The 2002 Pacific hurricane season consisted of the events that occurred in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation over the Pacific Ocean north of the equator and east of the International Date Line. The official bounds of each Pacific hurricane season are dates that conventionally delineate the period each year during which tropical cyclones tend to form in the basin according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC), beginning on May 15 in the Eastern Pacific proper (east of 140°W) and June 1 in the Central Pacific (140°W to the International Date Line), and ending on November 30 in both areas. However, tropical cyclogenesis is possible at any time of year. [1] The first tropical cyclone of the season, Hurricane Alma, developed on May 24; the final system, Tropical Depression Sixteen-E, dissipated on November 16.

Nineteen  tropical depressions developed during the 2002 season, with fifteen further strengthening into named tropical storms; [nb 1] eight became hurricanes, of which six attained major hurricane status. [nb 2] [2] [3] : 2379  Activity was generally near normal, with the number of tropical storms and hurricanes matching the respective 1991–2020 averages; however, the number of major hurricanes was above the average of four for the same period. [1] [3] : 2379  Hurricanes Elida, Hernan, and Kenna achieved Category 5 strength on the Saffir–Simpson scale, tying a record set in 1994 for the most storms to do so in one season since reliable records began in 1971. [4]

Hurricane Kenna in late October was by far the most impactful storm of the season. After weakening from its peak intensity—which was marked by a minimum barometric pressure of 913 mbar (26.96 inHg), making it the fourth-most intense Pacific hurricane on record [5] —Kenna made landfall on the coast of western Mexico at Category 4 status with maximum sustained winds of 140 mph (220 km/h). These winds, combined with a storm surge of up to 16 feet (4.9 m), devastated the area surrounding the fishing village of San Blas, Nayarit, where as many as 95% of homes were damaged or destroyed; four people were killed. [3] : 2390  [6] The name Kenna would later be retired on account of the hurricane's effects in Mexico. [7]

Aside from Kenna, effects on land were relatively light during the season. Tropical Storm Julio struck southern Mexico in late September, causing torrential rainfall; flash floods damaged structures, and slick roads contributed to a bus accident that killed three people. [8] Tropical Storms Boris and Iselle generated heavy rainfall in Mexico without coming ashore, while Tropical Depression Eleven-E prompted the issuance of a tropical storm warning and hurricane watch for portions of the Baja California peninsula but dissipated off the coast without impact. [9] [10] [11] Hurricanes Alma and Fausto were noted for unusual meteorological feats, though neither storm affected land; Alma followed 2001's Hurricane Adolph as only the second known Pacific major hurricane in the month of May, [12] while Fausto regenerated into a tropical storm far to the north of the Hawaiian Islands, where tropical cyclones are rarely observed. [2]

Prior to 2015, two time zones were utilized in the Eastern Pacific basin: Pacific east of 140°W, and Hawaii−Aleutian from 140°W to the International Date Line. [13] [14] For convenience, each event is listed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) first, using the 24-hour clock (where 00:00 = midnight UTC), [15] with the respective local time included in parentheses. Figures for maximum sustained winds and position estimates are rounded to the nearest five units (knots, miles, or kilometers) and averaged over one minute, following National Hurricane Center practice. Direct wind observations are rounded to the nearest whole number. Atmospheric pressures are listed to the nearest millibar and nearest hundredth of an inch of mercury. This timeline documents the formation of tropical cyclones as well as the strengthening, weakening, landfalls, extratropical transitions, and dissipations during the season. It also includes information that was not released while the storm was active, meaning that data from post-storm reviews by the National Hurricane Center and the Central Pacific Hurricane Center is included.

Notes

  1. ↑ These totals exclude one tropical depression and one tropical storm that were tracked by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) and/or the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), but were not recognized as tropical cyclones by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) nor the Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC), and therefore are not officially counted towards the 2002 Pacific hurricane season.
  2. ↑ A major hurricane is a Pacific or Atlantic hurricane that reaches Category 3 or higher on the five-level Saffir–Simpson scale, with maximum sustained winds of at least 111 mph (179 km/h). [1]
  3. ↑ While the Northeast and North Central Pacific hurricane database (HURDAT) lists a formation time of 00:00 UTC on August 25 for Tropical Depression Two-C –which eventually became Hurricane Ele –the CPHC stated in their seasonal summary that the system did not develop until 48 hours later. [2]
  4. ↑ While HURDAT lists a formation time of 18:00 UTC on October 23 for Tropical Depression Three-C –which eventually became Hurricane Huko –the CPHC stated in their seasonal summary that the system did not develop until 24 hours later. [2]
  5. ↑ Both HURDAT and the CPHC's year-end report on tropical cyclone activity in the Central Pacific list 15°42′N179°06′W / 15.7°N 179.1°W as Huko's final position east of the International Date Line without providing any best track data on the storm's tenure in the Western Pacific basin. [2] [5] The JTWC and the International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship disagree with this assessment, listing Huko's final position east of the International Date Line as 15°30′N178°36′W / 15.5°N 178.6°W ; they also contradict the former two sources by providing a best track for Huko in the Western Pacific basin. [19] : 185  [33]
  6. ↑ On October 27, daylight saving time ended in most areas of the basin, which resulted in the gap between UTC and local time widening by one hour. Hawaii was not affected; the state has not observed daylight saving time since 1945. [34] [35]

These dates typically cover the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Eastern Pacific basin according to the National Hurricane Center. However, tropical cyclones sometimes form outside the bounds of an official season, as was evidenced by the formation of Tropical Depression One-E on April 25. The season effectively ended with the dissipation of its final storm, Tropical Storm Polo, on November 19.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Timeline of the 2022 Pacific hurricane season</span>

The 2022 Pacific hurricane season was a fairly active tropical cyclone season, with 19 named storm altogether. Ten of those became hurricanes, and four further intensified into major hurricanes. Two of this season's storms, Bonnie and Julia, survived the overland crossover from the Atlantic. The season officially started on May 15 in the eastern Pacific—east of 140°W—and June 1 in the central Pacific—between the International Date Line and 140°W, and ended in both regions on November 30. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the eastern Pacific basin. The season's first storm, Agatha, formed on May 28, and last, Roslyn, dissipated on October 23. Rosyln made landfall in Nayarit with 120 mph (195 km/h) winds, making it the strongest landfalling Pacific hurricane since Patricia in 2015. The season's first major hurricane, Bonnie, entered into the basin from the Atlantic basin on July 2, after crossing Nicaragua as a tropical storm, becoming the first storm to survive the crossover from the Atlantic to the Pacific since Otto in 2016. Three months later, Julia became the second to do so.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Timeline of the 2023 Pacific hurricane season</span>

The 2023 Pacific hurricane season was a fairly active Pacific hurricane season. In the eastern Pacific basin, 17 named storms formed; 10 of those became hurricanes, and 8 further intensified into major hurricanes. In the central Pacific basin, no tropical cyclones formed, though four entered into the basin from the east. The season officially began on May 15, 2023, in the eastern Pacific, and on June 1 in the central Pacific; it ended in both on November 30. These dates, adopted by convention, historically describe the period in each year when most tropical cyclogenesis occurs in these regions of the Pacific. The season's first system, Tropical Storm Adrian, developed on June 27, and its last, Tropical Storm Ramon, dissipated on November 26.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Timeline of the 1993 Pacific hurricane season</span>

The 1993 Pacific hurricane season consisted of the events that occurred in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation over the Pacific Ocean north of the Equator and east of the International Date Line. The official bounds of each Pacific hurricane season are dates that conventionally delimit the period each year during which tropical cyclones tend to form in the basin according to the National Hurricane Center, beginning on May 15 in the Eastern Pacific proper and on June 1 in the Central Pacific, and ending on November 30 in both areas. However, tropical cyclogenesis is possible at any time of the year. The first system, Hurricane Adrian, developed on June 11; the final system, Tropical Depression Seventeen-E, dissipated on October 14.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Timeline of the 1994 Pacific hurricane season</span>

The 1994 Pacific hurricane season consisted of the events that occurred in the annual cycle of tropical cyclogenesis over the Pacific Ocean north of the Equator and east of the International Date Line. The official bounds of each Pacific hurricane season are dates that conventionally delimit the period each year during which tropical cyclones tend to form in the basin according to the National Hurricane Center, beginning on May 15 in the Eastern Pacific proper and on June 1 in the Central Pacific, and ending on November 30 in both areas. Activity in the 1994 season was considerably greater than average, particularly in the Central Pacific; tropical cyclones generally formed and intensified farther west than normal due in part to above-average sea surface temperatures over the southeastern portion of the Central Pacific and the prevalence of a large anticyclone near 140°W for much of July and August. El Niño conditions, which tend to cause increased tropical cyclone activity over the Pacific Ocean, were also present. Despite the high activity, the season had an unusually late start; it did not commence until the formation of Tropical Storm Aletta on June 18. The season ended on October 26 with the dissipation of Tropical Storm Nona.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Timeline of the 1995 Pacific hurricane season</span>

The 1995 Pacific hurricane season consisted of the events that occurred in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation over the Pacific Ocean north of the equator and east of the International Date Line. The official bounds of each Pacific hurricane season are dates that conventionally delineate the period each year during which tropical cyclones tend to form in the basin according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC), beginning on May 15 in the Eastern Pacific proper and June 1 in the Central Pacific, and ending on November 30 in both areas. However, tropical cyclogenesis is possible at any time of year. Activity during the season was below average; only eleven tropical depressions developed, of which ten strengthened into named tropical storms. Seven became hurricanes, of which three further intensified into major hurricanes. Hurricane Barbara was the only tropical cyclone to exist in the Central Pacific in 1995, entering the region as a weak system near dissipation. The first system, Tropical Depression One-E, formed on May 21; the final, Hurricane Juliette, dissipated on September 26, making this season the first since the beginning of the satellite era in which no tropical cyclones were active after September.
