The 2013 Pacific hurricane season was an above-average year in which twenty named storms developed.[nb 1] The hurricane season officially began on May 15 in the East Pacific, coinciding with the formation of Tropical Storm Alvin, and on June 1 in the Central Pacific; it ended on November 30 in both basins.[nb 2] These dates conventionally delimit the period during each year when most tropical cyclones form.[2] The final system of the year, Tropical Storm Sonia, dissipated on November 4.

The season produced twenty-one tropical depressions. All but one further intensified into tropical storms and nine further intensified to become hurricanes. Despite this level of activity, only one hurricane – Raymond – strengthened into a major hurricane.[nb 3] The most significant storm, in terms of loss of life and damage, was Hurricane Manuel. Forming in mid-September, Manuel attained its peak as a minimal Category 1 hurricane before moving ashore on the coastline of Mexico. In total, the storm contributed to 123 confirmed fatalities and $4.2 billion (2013 USD) in damage.[4] Throughout the duration of the season, four other named storms – Hurricane Barbara and tropical storms Juliette, Octave, and Sonia – made landfall in Mexico, causing minor damage and loss of life.

This timeline includes information that was not released in real time, but derived from post-season analyzes by the National Hurricane Center and Central Pacific Hurricane Center; as a result, it may include storms that were not operationally warned upon. This timeline documents tropical cyclone formations, strengthening, weakening, landfalls, extratropical transitions, and dissipations during the season.

Footnotes[edit]

  1. ^ An average season, as defined by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, has fifteen tropical storms, eight hurricanes and three major hurricanes.[1]
  2. ^ The East Pacific is defined as the region east of 140°W, while the Central Pacific is defined as the region west of 140°W to the International Date Line.
  3. ^ A major hurricane is a storm that ranks as Category 3 or higher on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale.[3]
  4. ^ The figures for maximum sustained winds and position estimates are rounded to the nearest 5 units (knots, miles, or kilometers), following the convention used in the National Hurricane Center's operational products for each storm. All other units are rounded to the nearest digit.
