Based on a 30-year climatology (1991-2020), one named storm typically forms in November every second or third year. However, this is the fourth straight November with at least one named storm forming. In addition, both Sandra and Terry were tropical storms simultaneously, which is the first time this has occurred in the eastern Pacific in November. Overall, the 2021 eastern Pacific hurricane season featured an above average number of named storms, an average amount of hurricanes, but a below average number of major hurricanes. There were nineteen named storms, eight hurricanes, and two major hurricanes. This compares to the long-term averages of fifteen named storms, eight hurricanes, and four major hurricanes.
