2016 Pacific hurricane season

rdfs:comment

The 2016 Pacific hurricane season was an extraordinarily active Eastern Pacific hurricane season. With billions of dollars in damage and hundreds of fatalities occuring, this made 2016 the costliest and one of the deadliest Pacific hurricane seasons ever. The large amount of impact were primarily due to exceptionally intense El Niño conditions and abnormally warm sea surface temperatures (sea surface temperatures) in place for the majority of the season. The 2016 Pacific season began on May 15, 2016 for the National Hurricane Center (NHC's) area of jurisdiction and June 1, 2016 for the Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC's) area of jurisdiction, and it ended on November 30, 2016 for both regions. These dates conventionally delimit the time period where nearly all tropical cyclones form

n20:abstract

The 2016 Pacific hurricane season was an extraordinarily active Eastern Pacific hurricane season. With billions of dollars in damage and hundreds of fatalities occuring, this made 2016 the costliest and one of the deadliest Pacific hurricane seasons ever. The large amount of impact were primarily due to exceptionally intense El Niño conditions and abnormally warm sea surface temperatures (sea surface temperatures) in place for the majority of the season. The 2016 Pacific season began on May 15, 2016 for the National Hurricane Center (NHC's) area of jurisdiction and June 1, 2016 for the Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC's) area of jurisdiction, and it ended on November 30, 2016 for both regions. These dates conventionally delimit the time period where nearly all tropical cyclones form in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Activity in the 2016 season was well above average. Although the total number of storms produced this year, 15, was near the long-term average of 15, the total number of hurricanes and major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale (SSHS)), 13 and 10, respectively, were significantly above their respective long-term averages of eight and four. During 2016, four storms affected land. The first was Hurricane Georgette, which was tied with Hurricane Ivette as the strongest East Pacfic hurricane on record. It made landfall over both Hawaii's Big Island and Oahu as a hurricane, becoming the first tropical system on record to bring hurricane-force winds to the Big Island and Oahu. Georgette killed 340 people and caused $1.1 billion (2016 USD) dollars in damage. Later, in mid-August, Hurricane Ivette made landfall near Baja California as a major (intense) hurricane, causing extreme flooding, rainfall, and landslides throughout the Baja California Peninsula and into southeastern California and southwestern Arizona. In addition, gale-force winds were reported in the Yuma metropolitan area from the storm, becoming the first Pacific storm since 1997's Hurricane Nora to bring gale-force winds to any region of the Continental United States while still tropical. Overall, Ivette caused $1.9 billion (2016 USD) in damage and 200 deaths, making it among the costliest Pacific systems on record. Next, Hurricane Javier made landfall and caused major mudslides in the Colima metropolitan area, subsequently leading to three deaths and $600 million dollars (2016 USD) in damage. Finally, Hurricane Kay caused extensive flooding in the Acapulco region, resulting in a death and $500 million (2016 USD) dollars in damage. In conclusion, the 2016 Pacific hurricane season was beyond devestating.
