Pacific hurricane season
2004 2005 2006 2007 2008

The 2006 Pacific hurricane season officially began on May 15 and ended on November 30. It is during this period that most tropical storms form , as only then are suitable conditions such as warm ocean , humid air, and little wind shear available for tropical cyclones to form. All storms that form north of the equator and east of 180 ° W belong to this basin. Storms that form further west are no longer called hurricanes, but typhoons .

Season overview

Although the Pacific Hurricane Basin is the second most active basin in the world after the Western Pacific, most storms do not threaten a country, as they mostly steer out into the open ocean . Only a few storms make a curve to the east or northeast and then threaten the Mexican coast in particular .

This year, an unusually high number of storms threatened the mainland. The first storm of the season, Aletta, formed unusually close to the mainland and briefly threatened the Mexican coast before turning west . Aletta brought heavy rain to Mexico, but no flooding , damage or death was reported.

The tropical low pressure area Zwei-E dissolved just off the Mexican coast and caused numerous mudslides and floods there due to heavy rain .

Hurricane Ioke, the strongest Central Pacific storm observed so far, caused severe damage to the Johnston Atoll and Wake , but there were no injuries.

Hurricane John off the coast of Baja California

Hurricane John was the first storm of the season to hit the mainland in Mexico . The storm reached the southern tip of the peninsula Baja California as a hurricane of Category 2 and caused heavy damage there of $ 60.8 million dollars and killed six people.

Lane just before landfall

The second storm to hit land as a hurricane was Hurricane Lane. It cruised the coast as a Category 3 severe hurricane in Sinaloa at its greatest intensity . The damage amounted to $ 110 million dollars and four people died in Lane.

The tropical low pressure area of ​​Norman threatened the coast of Manzanillo , but did not land there, but dissolved just off the coast. The system caused heavy rain showers there .

The third and final storm landfall of the season occurred through the Paul tropical depression. Heavy rains and high waves killed four people but caused only minor damage.

hurricanes
NOAA average 15.3 8.8 4.2
NOAA May 22, 2006 12-16 6-8 1-3
Actual activity 18th 10 5

On May 22, 2006, NOAA announced its predictions for the hurricane seasons in the Atlantic , East Pacific , and Central Pacific. In this they postulated a slightly below average season for the East Pacific region with twelve to sixteen storms, of which six to eight hurricanes and one to three severe hurricanes were to be. In the central Pacific, two to three storms were expected to either migrate into this basin or form there. They based these statements on a circle of generally below average activity over the past 10 years. The experts expected that neither El Niño or La Niña , the season would affect.

Storms

Tropical storm Aletta

Tropical storm
Tropical Storm Aletta (2006) .jpg Aletta 2006 track.png
Duration May 27th - May 30th
intensity 40 kn (75 km / h ) (1 minute) , 1002 hPa

On May 23, just eight days after the start of the season, a fault was discovered south-southwest of Acapulco . The disturbance began to organize itself and was classified as the first tropical depression of the season on the morning of May 27th. Later that day it intensified into tropical storm Aletta. Aletta intensified into a tropical storm with winds of 70 km / h as it moved towards the coast of Guerrero . But later the storm turned west and began to weaken steadily, only to dissipate on May 31st. Despite heavy rains in Mexico , neither damage nor flooding was reported.

Tropical depression Zwei-E

Tropical depression
Tropical Depression Two-E (2006) .PNG Two-E 2006 track.png
Duration June 3rd - June 5th
intensity 30 kn (55 km / h ) (1 minute) , 1005 hPa

On June 1, a tropical disorder developed, roughly in the same place as Aletta before. High wind shear slowed the development of the system, but on June 3rd it was able to acquire enough convection and organization to be classified as a tropical depression. The depression intensified to near tropical storm strength as it neared the coast of southwestern Mexico, but shear persisted over the system and it weakened until it resolved on June 4. Although it did not become a named system, Acapulco fell 250-300mm of rain due to Two-E.

Hurricane Bud

Category 3 hurricane
Hurricane bud 2006.jpg Bud 2006 track.png
Duration July 11th - July 16th
intensity 110 kn (205 km / h ) (1 minute) , 953 hPa

After more than a month of inactivity, a disturbance began to intensify on July 10th local time (July 11th UTC ) and was upgraded to Tropical Depression Drei-E. On July 11, just six hours later, it intensified into tropical storm Bud. After that, Bud began to rapidly intensify on favorable conditions. He developed an eye and became a hurricane on the afternoon of July 11th . Bud continued to intensify and turned into a major hurricane on July 12th; H. a category 3 and stronger hurricane. On July 13th, Bud reached its peak strength as a strong Category 3 storm, with wind speeds of 205 km / h. After that, Bud moved over much colder waters and quickly weakened. Bud degenerated to a residual low on July 15th without ever threatening land.

Hurricane Carlotta

Category 1 hurricane
Hurricane Carlotta 2006.jpg Carlotta 2006 track.png
Duration July 12th - July 16th
intensity 75 kn (140 km / h ) (1 minute) , 981 hPa

Late on July 11, local time, 400 km southwest of Guerrero, the fourth tropical depression of the season formed. The low intensified quickly, and just six hours later it became tropical storm Carlotta. Carlotta continued to gain strength and became a hurricane 24 hours later . After that, Carlotta moved over adverse conditions and cool water and was graduated into a tropical storm on July 14th. Nevertheless, Carlotta was able to strengthen again briefly to hurricane strength, but later weakened and degenerated to a residual low on July 16.

Hurricane Daniel

Category 4 hurricane
Hurricane Daniel 2006.jpg Daniel 2006 track.png
Duration July 16 - July 26
intensity 130 kn (240 km / h ) (1 minute) , 933 hPa

On July 16, a tropical disturbance formed south of Baja California, increasing its convective activity and organization. The NHC therefore declared it a tropical depression. The low continued to organize and was named Tropical Storm Daniel the next day. Daniel intensified further and was declared a hurricane on July 18. Daniel began to intensify rapidly, reaching major hurricane status (Category 3) and eventually Category 4 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale . After a few cycles of eyewall regeneration , Daniel became a ring-shaped hurricane , allowing him to maintain its intensity longer than the conditions would have allowed. Daniel finally crossed the 140 ° W line on July 24th and therefore went into the Central Pacific Basin. At first it was anticipated that Daniel could threaten Hawaii as a tropical storm, but Daniel began to slow down and he stopped over adverse conditions. On July 26th, Daniel broke up when he was still far from Hawaii.

Tropical storm Emilia

Tropical storm
TS Emilia 2006.jpg Emilia 2006 track.png
Duration July 21st - July 28th
intensity 55 kn (100 km / h ) (1 minute) , 990 hPa

On July 21, a tropical depression formed and was upgraded to Tropical Storm Emilia on July 22. At first it was believed that Emilia might threaten Mexico , but the storm turned to the northwest and now threatened the Baja California peninsula . Emilia brought tropical storm winds to the southern tip of Baja California Sur before the storm turned northwest again and quickly weakened over cold waters. At first, Emilia was expected to reach hurricane strength, but the adverse conditions prevented it. Nevertheless, Emilia managed to reach wind speeds of 100 km / h.

Tropical storm Fabio

Tropical storm
Tropical Storm Fabio 2006.jpg Fabio 2006 track.png
Duration July 31st - August 3rd
intensity 45 kn (85 km / h ) (1 minute) , 1000 hPa

On July 29th, a low pressure area emerged from a tropical wave . This tropical disturbance soon evolved, but it was not until July 31 that the well-organized tropical disturbance had sufficient convection and organization to classify it as Tropical Depression 7-E. The depression continued to organize and six hours later it was upgraded to Tropical Storm Fabio. The storm moved west, over open water, and could not gain significantly due to wind shear. Fabio weakened to a tropical depression on August 2nd, and degenerated to a residual depression on August 3rd.

Tropical storm Gilma

Tropical storm
TS Gilma 2006BW.jpg Gilma 2006 track.png
Duration August 1st - August 3rd
intensity 35 kn (65 km / h ) (1 minute) , 1004 hPa

On July 31, the eighth tropical depression of the season was created off the coast of Central America . The low pressure area slowly strengthened and was upgraded to tropical storm Gilma on August 1st. Gilma, however, weakened due to high wind shear and dry air, and was downgraded to tropical depression again on August 2, just eighteen hours after being declared a tropical storm . Gilma finally disbanded on August 3rd without ever threatening any land.

Hurricane Hector

Category 2 hurricane
Hurricane hector 2006.jpg Hector 2006 track.png
Duration August 15 - August 23
intensity 95 kn (175 km / h ) (1 minute) , 966 hPa

On August 14, a low pressure area developed off the Mexican coast . The depression began to organize and was upgraded to a tropical depression on August 15th. The low intensified into a tropical storm on August 16 before intensifying into a hurricane on August 17. The system then moved into an area with colder water temperatures and high wind shear and steadily weakened before disintegrating on August 22nd. Hector never threatened land.

Hurricane / Typhoon Ioke

Category 5 hurricane
Ioke 2006-08-24 2155Z.jpg Ioke 2006 track.png
Duration August 20 - August 27
intensity 140 kn (260 km / h ) (1 minute) , 915 hPa

A persistent tropical disturbance embedded in a trough gained convection on August 19 and developed into a tropical depression when it was about 1,250 km south of Honolulu . The depression continued to worsen, and the Central Pacific Hurricane Center named the system Ioke, the first tropical storm in the Central Pacific since 2002. Ioke began to intensify rapidly, becoming a hurricane just 24 hours after it formed. Ioke continued to gain strength and turned into a major hurricane (Category 3+) on August 21. Ioke even intensified to a Category 4 hurricane later that day, but on August 22 the storm began to weaken and was downgraded to a Category 2 storm. The eastern Eyewall pulled ashore over the uninhabited Johnston Atoll and brought hurricane winds to the island. On August 23, Ioke moved again over increasingly warmer waters and the storm was able to intensify into a major hurricane for the second time.

Twelve people on board a USAF ship had to leave their ship due to the approaching hurricane and seek shelter in a hurricane-proof bunker on the Johnston Atoll . They survived the storm unscathed and a reconnaissance aircraft reported only minor damage on the island.

On the night of August 24th to 25th, Ioke intensified into a Category 5 hurricane, the first hurricane to form in the Central Pacific and to reach this intensity there. Ioke then weakened into a Category 4 hurricane due to new eyewall formation , but was able to intensify again into a Category 5 hurricane on August 26th. When Ioke's central pressure fell to 915 mbar, it became the strongest hurricane that has ever formed in the Central Pacific and currently only the fifth Category 5 hurricane that has ever existed in the Central Pacific.

On August 27, the Category 5 hurricane crossed the date line , becoming Typhoon Ioke. Shortly thereafter, the storm weakened again to a Category 4 typhoon , but was able to reach Category 5 strength for the third time on August 29. After Ioke maintained Category 5 intensity for another 12 hours, the storm weakened to a Category 4 typhoon for the last time on August 30 just as it approached Wake Island . On September 1, the typhoon passed almost exactly over Wake, which was evacuated before the storm hit , and caused severe damage. The storm, which quickly lost strength due to cooler sea ​​temperatures , eventually moved towards Japan . However, on September 3, a trough changed the course of the typhoon and it moved north away from the mainland . On September 7, Ioke, east of Kamchatka , lost all of its tropical features and was declared extratropical.

Hurricane Ileana

Category 3 hurricane
Hurricane Ileana 23 aug 2006 1750Z.jpg Ileana 2006 track.png
Duration August 21st - August 27th
intensity 105 kn (195 km / h ) (1 minute) , 955 hPa

Tropical Depression 10-E formed 520 km south-southwest of Acapulco on August 21 . Three hours later, it had intensified enough to become a tropical storm. On August 22nd, Ileana was declared a hurricane and began to intensify rapidly. On August 23, Ileana had intensified into a category 3 hurricane and was therefore designated the third major hurricane of the season with a wind speed of over 195 km / h. Thereafter, Ileana underwent a new eyewall formation and therefore weakened. Usually a hurricane intensifies after such an event, but cold surface water prevented Ileana and weakened it further. On August 27th the storm broke up.

Hurricane john

Category 4 hurricane
Hurricane John Aug 31 2006.jpg John 2006 track.png
Duration August 28th - September 4th
intensity 116 kn (215 km / h ) (1 minute) , 948 hPa

On August 28, a persistent depression southwest of Acapulco developed into a tropical depression. On the same day it intensified into a tropical storm and on August 29, just 24 hours after it developed, into a hurricane . John strengthened himself very quickly and reached category 3 on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale on the same day, making it the 4 major hurricane of the season. The hurricane was able to intensify into a Category 4 hurricane by August 30, when a new eyewall formation and proximity to land weakened it into a Category 2 hurricane as it ran parallel to the Mexican coast . The storm was able to intensify again to a Category 3 hurricane and moved as a Category 2 hurricane over Baja California on September 1st.

The hurricane caused flooding over parts of the west coast of Mexico and Baja California. John did serious damage and killed at least six people.

Hurricane Kristy

Category 1 hurricane
12E Hurricane Kristy 2006.jpg Kristy 2006 track.png
Duration August 30th - September 8th
intensity 70 kn (130 km / h ) (1 minute) , 985 hPa

On August 30, a tropical wave about 845 km south-southwest Baja California was able to organize itself and was thus classified as the twelfth tropical depression of the season. Shortly afterwards, the low pressure area was able to intensify into tropical storm Kristy, only to intensify into a hurricane the next day. Kristy was not able to maintain this strength for long, partly due to the proximity to Hurricane John. Kristy steadily weakened and almost dissolved, before organized convection again concentrated near the center on September 3 and later on September 5 and the system could strengthen again into a tropical storm. On September 7th, Kristy dissolved into a residual low.

Due to Kristy's proximity to the larger Hurricane John, a Fujiwhara effect may have had an effect , so that Kristy was weakened and it looked as if Kristy might also be absorbed by John. Ultimately, this did not happen.

Hurricane Lane

Category 3 hurricane
Hurricane Lane 16 sept 2006 aqua.jpg Lane 2006 track.png
Duration September 13th - September 17th
intensity 110 kn (205 km / h ) (1 minute) , 952 hPa

On September 13, a tropical disturbance near the coast of Mexico was able to organize itself better and was thus upgraded to the thirteenth tropical depression of the season. The low could quickly develop into tropical Storm Lane under good conditions. The tropical storm caused heavy rains and high waves along the west coast of Mexico, including Acapulco . The storm was able to intensify as it moved parallel to the Mexican coast and became a hurricane on September 15. On September 16, it reached the status of a major hurricane and landed with this intensity in the state of Sinaloa . At least four people were killed by Hurricane Lane, the damage amounted to about 110 million US dollars .

Tropical storm Miriam

Tropical storm
Miriam06.jpg Miriam 2006 track.png
Duration September 16 - September 18
intensity 40 kn (75 km / h ) (1 minute) , 999 hPa

A disturbance associated with the northern reaches of the ITCZ and a tropical wave developed a closed ground circulation, and on September 16, despite the influence of nearby Hurricane Lane, was able to organize itself enough to warrant upgrading to Tropical Depression . The low was able to intensify quickly and organize itself into a tropical storm that same day. On September 17th, after reaching the summit force of 75 km / h, the storm weakened rapidly due to strong wind shear and cold ocean temperatures, and the circulation moved away from the convection . Thereafter, Miriam weakened to a tropical low and degenerated to a residual low on September 18. This residual low dissolved just off the coast of Lower California without causing any damage.

Tropical Depression Two-C

Tropical depression
02C TERRA MODIS 30 kt 2006.jpg 2-C 2006 track.png
Duration September 18 - September 20
intensity 30 kn (55 km / h ) (1 minute) , 1007 hPa

On September 18, a tropical disturbance was able to organize itself enough to be upgraded to the second tropical depression of the season in the Central Pacific. On September 20, the low pressure area degenerated to a residual low without ever intensifying into a tropical storm.

Tropical Depression Three-C

Tropical depression
TD 03C 2006 NRL.jpg 3-C 2006 track.png
Duration September 26th - September 27th
intensity 30 kn (55 km / h ) (1 minute) , 1007 hPa

On September 26, another disturbance in the central Pacific, near the international date line , was able to organize itself and was designated the third tropical depression of the season. However, the high wind shear prevented further development and the system disbanded 12 hours later, just as it was cruising into the western Pacific.

Tropical storm Norman

Tropical storm
TS Norman 09 oct 2006 1849Z.jpg Norman 2006 track.png
Duration October 9th - October 15th
intensity 45 kn (85 km / h ) (1 minute) , 1000 hPa

At the beginning of October, a low off the coast of Mexico was able to organize itself better and was upgraded to a tropical low pressure area on October 8th, as the soil circulation had closed. The system was able to slowly strengthen into a tropical storm overnight, but high wind shear and cold sea temperatures prevented further development. It slowly began to weaken and by October 10th lost almost all of its convection. The remaining low in Normans combined with a newly developing tropical disturbance and the system was able to reorganize. On October 15, Norman was able to reorganize into a tropical depression just off the coast of Mexico and finally dissolved after it had reached the coast .

Tropical storm Olivia

Tropical storm
TS Olivia 09 oct 2006 2155Z.jpg Olivia 2006 track.png
Duration October 9th - October 12th
intensity 40 kn (75 km / h ) (1 minute) , 1000 hPa
→ Main article: Tropical Storm Olivia (2006)

Just one day after the formation of the later tropical storm Normans, a new tropical low pressure area developed southwest of Baja California . On October 10th, the system was able to intensify into a tropical storm and was therefore named Olivia. However, the system got into an area of ​​high wind shear and minimal ocean temperatures and weakened over the next day. It degenerated to a residual low on October 12th, which was subsequently absorbed by the great tropical disturbance associated with the holdover of Norman.

Tropical Depression Four-C

Tropical depression
TD 4C 13 oct 2006 2143Z.jpg 4-C 2006 track.png
Duration October 13th - October 14th
intensity 30 kn (55 km / h ) (1 minute) , 1007 hPa

An area of ​​increased thunderstorm activity and convection was first discovered inside the ITCZ on October 8th . It was extremely slow to develop and was not upgraded to a tropical depression until October 13 , when it was about 1,200 miles southwest of Honolulu . Wind shear separated the convection from the ground circulation and the system dissolved into a residual low on October 14th.

Hurricane Paul

Category 2 hurricane
Hurricane Paul 23 oct 2006 2030Z.jpg Paul 2006 track.png
Duration October 21st - October 26th
intensity 90 kn (165 km / h ) (1 minute) , 970 hPa

On October 21, a tropical disturbance that had existed for a few days off the coast of Mexico was able to produce more convection and was therefore upgraded to a tropical depression . The system strengthened quickly and had intensified into a tropical storm within six hours. Wind shear from the east halted further development, but on October 22nd, conditions improved and the system steadily intensified into a hurricane . Paul was able to intensify into a strong Category 2 hurricane before high shear and poor conditions quickly weakened the storm.

While it was initially expected that Paul would hit the coast as a hurricane, the storm quickly weakened southwest of Baja California and only reached La Reforma as a tropical depression on October 26 , where it quickly dissolved.

Tropical Depression Eighteen-E

Tropical depression
TD 18E 26 oct 2006 1755Z.jpg 18-E 2006 track.png
Duration October 26th - October 27th
intensity 30 kn (55 km / h ) (1 minute) , 1007 hPa

Just as Paul was weakening, the NHC discovered a new tropical disturbance near the coast near Acapulco . The disturbance managed to organize itself enough on October 26th to be upgraded to a tropical depression . On October 27, however , due to dry air, its ground circulation split off southwest of the convection and degenerated to a residual low.

Tropical storm pink

Tropical storm
TS Rosa 09 nov 2006 1800Z.jpg Rosa 2006 track.png
Duration November 8th - November 10th
intensity 35 kn (65 km / h ) (1 minute) , 1002 hPa
→ Main article: Tropical Storm Rosa (2006)

On November 6th, a tropical disturbance was noticed off the Central American Pacific coast . As it moved west , a low developed on the fault and the system was upgraded to a tropical depression on November 8 , the first November storm since 2002. The depression had to hold its own against vertical wind shear and eventually strengthened on November 8th November 9th into a tropical storm. However, on the same day, Rosa weakened again into a tropical low pressure area due to excessive wind shear. On November 10th, the remnants of Rosa degenerated to a wide low.

Tropical Depression Twenty-E

Tropical depression
TD 20E 11 nov 2006 1755Z.jpg 20-E 2006 track.png
Duration November 11th - November 11th
intensity 30 kn (55 km / h ) (1 minute) , 1007 hPa

On November 11th, a small but well-defined depression about 1,130 km south-southwest of Baja California was able to develop into a tropical depression. The next day, however, the system degenerated into an open trough.

Hurricane Sergio

Category 2 hurricane
Hurricane Sergio 15 nov 2006 1725Z.jpg Sergio 2006 track.png
Duration November 13th - November 20th
intensity 95 kn (175 km / h ) (1 minute) , 965 hPa

A few days after the tropical depression 20-E degenerated into an open trough , an area with low cloudiness was able to develop into a tropical depression after maintaining deep convection for an extended period of time. Just ten hours later, the low pressure area was able to intensify into a tropical storm. It was only the first time since 1961 that two named storms formed in the Northeast Pacific in November. The system continued to strengthen and became a hurricane on November 15 , the first November Pacific hurricane since 2001 (Octave: October 31 to November 3, 2001) and the first to form that month since 1997 . The system was able to intensify into a strong Category 2 hurricane and when its central pressure dropped to 965  mbar , Sergio became the strongest November Pacific hurricane ever. The storm slowly drifted north , slowly weakening due to wind shear . On November 17th Sergio had weakened again into a tropical storm and the ground circulation separated from the convection. On November 18, however, the storm was able to generate deep convection again and became stronger again. However, this development did not last long and Sergio weakened again and finally dissolved on November 20, becoming the longest-lived East Pacific tropical cyclone in November since systematic observations began.

Other storms

Storm 91C on November 1st.

At the end of October, an extratropical storm existed in the far north of the Central Pacific Ocean . The storm moved over extremely warm waters (2 ° C above average) and was able to slowly build up convection near the center. On November 2, satellite estimates measured wind speeds of 95 km / h in the middle of the storm, while the storm was about 1,450 km west of Oregon . The storm could also create a clear eye and eyewall. The storm then moved northeast and weakened before breaking up on November 4th.

The NASA described the storm as subtropical. But due to its extremely rare location, the storm was outside the control of a hurricane forecast center, which is why it was not named. Operationally, the US Navy treated the system like a tropical disturbance and numbered 91C.
