East Pacific Hurricane Basin

May 19, 2013

There is currently no threat of tropical development over the next couple of days.

In a typical year, the Eastern Pacific basin experiences 15 tropical storms, nine of which are hurricanes, and of those nine hurricanes, four become major hurricanes. Long-term records show that the Mexican and Central American coastal areas in the Eastern Pacific experience two to three landfalls per season.
