NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 AM PST Fri Dec 1 2023
For the eastern North Pacific, east of 140 degrees west longitude:
One tropical storm (Ramon) formed in the eastern Pacific basin in
the month of November. Based on a 30-year climatology (1991-2020),
one named storm typically forms in November every two years.
Overall, the 2023 eastern Pacific hurricane season was near normal
in terms of the number of named storms but above normal in terms of
the number of hurricanes and major hurricanes. In 2023, 17 named
storms formed, of which 10 became hurricanes and 8 became major
hurricanes (category 3 or greater on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane
Wind Scale). This compares to the long-term (1991-2020) averages of
15 named storms, 8 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes. In terms of
Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE), which measures the combined
strength and duration of tropical storms and hurricanes, activity in
2023 was about 20 percent above the long-term (1991-2020) average.
