Tropical cyclones rotate counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. They are classified as follows:</br> <ul> <li><span style="color:maroon; font-weight:bold;">Tropical Depression:</span> A tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 38 mph (33 knots) or less.</li> <li><span style="color:maroon; font-weight:bold;">Tropical Storm:</span> A tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 39 to 73 mph (34 to 63 knots).</li> <li><span style="color:maroon; font-weight:bold;">Hurricane:</span> A tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 74 mph (64 knots) or higher. In the western North Pacific, hurricanes are called typhoons; similar storms in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific Ocean are called cyclones.</li> <li><span style="color:maroon; font-weight:bold;">Major Hurricane:</span> A tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 111 mph (96 knots) or higher, corresponding to a Category 3, 4 or 5 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.</li> </ul> </p> <p>Tropical cyclones forming between 5 and 30 degrees North latitude typically move toward the west. Sometimes the winds in the middle and upper levels of the atmosphere change and steer the cyclone toward the north and northwest. When tropical cyclones reach latitudes near 30 degrees North, they often move northeast.</p> <p style="text-align:center;"> <a href="https://www.weather.gov/jetstream/tc"><img src="images/tcformation.png" /></a><br> Tropical Cyclone formation regions with mean tracks (courtesy of the <a href="https://www.weather.gov/jetstream/tc">NWS JetStream Online School</a>) </p> <p> </p> <a name="bac"></a> <h3>Atlantic and Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season Normal Activity</h3> <p class="reg"> The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. The Atlantic basin includes the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of America. Based on a 30-year climate period from 1991 to 2020, an average Atlantic hurricane season has 14 named storms, 7 hurricanes, and 3 major hurricanes (Category 3, 4, or 5 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale). The first named storm typically forms in mid to late June, the first hurricane tends to form in early to mid-August, and the first major hurricane forms in late August or early September. </p> <p class="reg"> The eastern Pacific hurricane season runs from May 15 to November 30. The eastern Pacific basin extends from Mexico and Central America westward to 140掳W. Based on a 30-year climate period from 1991 to 2020, an average eastern Pacific hurricane season has 15 named storms, 8 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes. The first named storm typically forms in early to mid-June, the first hurricane tends to form in late June, and the first major hurricane forms in mid-July. </p> <p class="reg"> The following聽tables  describe the progress of typical hurricane seasons in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific basins by showing benchmark dates when a given number of named storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes typically forms. <b>It is important to note, however, that formation dates in individual hurricane seasons could vary considerably from these average dates.</b> </p>  <p class="reg">  <br> <br> <p class="reg"> <center> <table border="3" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="3" width="75%"> <caption align="top"><b>Table 1.</b> Progress of the average Atlantic season (1991-2020).

Specifically, they show the number of hurricanes (yellow area), and combined named storms and hurricanes (red area) that occur on each calendar day over a 100-year period. The data have been smoothed using a 5-day running average centered on each calendar day. For the Atlantic basin (the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of America), the chart is based on data from the 77-year period from 1944 to 2020 (starting at the beginning of the aircraft reconnaissance era) but normalized to 100 years. The official hurricane season for the Atlantic basin is from June 1 to November 30, but tropical cyclone activity sometimes occurs before and after these dates, respectively. The peak of the Atlantic hurricane season is September 10, with most activity occurring between mid-August and mid-October. For the eastern Pacific basin, the analyses are based on data from the 50-year period from 1971 to 2020 (starting when there was reliable satellite imagery) but also normalized to 100 years. The official hurricane season for the eastern Pacific basin is from May 15 to November 30, but tropical cyclones occasionally occur before and after these dates, respectively. A peak in activity is noted in late August, but this peak is less pronounced than the peak in Atlantic activity. Relatively high levels of activity in the eastern Pacific tend to be spread out over a longer portion of the season than in the Atlantic, with most tropical cyclones occurring between late June and early October. <br> </p> <br> <a name="ori10"></a> <h4>Points of Origin by 10-Day Period</h4> <p class="reg"> The figures below show the points of tropical cyclone genesis by 10-day periods during the hurricane season. The source years include 1851-2023 for the Atlantic and 1949-2023 for the Eastern Pacific from <a href="/data#hurdat">the HURDAT database</a>.</p> <p align="center"><a href="images/jan_1_10.png"><img

Occurrence Areas by Month</h4> <p class="reg"> These maps show where tropical cyclones (named storms and hurricanes) tend to occur during each month of the hurricane season. The data are shown as the number of named storms or hurricanes whose centers pass within 150 nautical miles of a point on the map during a 100-year period. For the Atlantic basin, the analyses are based on data from the 77-year period from 1944 to 2020 (starting at the beginning of the aircraft reconnaissance era) but normalized to 100 years. For the eastern and central Pacific basins, the analyses are based on data from the 50-year period from 1971 to 2020 (starting when there was reliable satellite imagery) but also normalized to 100 years. Please note that the map legends vary from basin to basin and between named storms and hurricanes (but not between months) in order to make climatological patterns more apparent.</p> <br> <center>
