Eastern Pacific tropical storms are tropical cyclones with 1-minute sustained winds between 34–63 knots (39–72 mph; 63–117 km/h) that are also located in the Eastern Pacific basin, which is denoted as the part of the Pacific Ocean north of the equator and east of the International Date Line.[1][2] Tropical cyclones that attain such winds and move over land while maintaining those winds are capable of causing minor to moderate damage to human lives and infrastructure. From 2000 to 2018, at least 155 storms have reached tropical storm intensity.[3] This list does not include storms that also attained Category 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 status on the Saffir-Simpson scale.
A combination of many factors serve to influence the development of tropical cyclones in the Northeastern Pacific basin. During the winter and early spring months from December to April, a high-pressure area known as the North Pacific High and a low-pressure area known as the Aleutian Low, are present over the Northeastern Pacific, producing strong upper-level winds which inhibit tropical cyclone formation. During the late spring, summer, and autumn months from May to November, these effects are reduced or may even vanish altogether, while sea surface temperatures are warm enough to support the development, perhaps even rapid, of tropical cyclones. The El Niño–Southern Oscillation plays a major role in the strength of trade winds and the sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific. During El Niño events, trade winds are weaker and sea surface temperatures are warmer, allowing for the development of more cyclones as well as more intense hurricanes, while the effects of La Niña are the opposite.[4][5]

Notes[edit]
- ^ Prior to 1988 for the Eastern Pacific and 2001 for the Central Pacific, pressure data was only able from direct measurements by reconnaissance aircraft that penetrated the storm or reports from ships and land-based weather stations, or estimates derived from satellite imagery.[6] Should any reading or estimate be available, the lowest is listed below.
- ^ Dates are given in Coordinated Universal Time.
- ^ All damage values are in USD of their respective years.
