Monthly Tropical Weather Summary
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 AM PDT Thu Aug 1 2024

For the eastern North Pacific, east of 140 degrees west longitude:

Three tropical storms, Aletta, Bud, and Carlotta, formed in the 
eastern Pacific basin in July.  The formation of three tropical 
storms is similar to the the long-term average for July of 3 named 
storms, but below the long-term averages of 2 hurricanes and 1 major 
hurricane.

With the formation of only 3 tropical storms in the basin so far, 
activity in the eastern Pacific is at an historic low.  Typically by 
the end of July, the season produces 5 or 6 tropical storms, 3 
hurricanes, and 1 or 2 major hurricanes.  The Accumulated Cyclone 
Energy (ACE), which measures the combined strength and duration of 
tropical storms and hurricanes, is only 5 percent of the long-term 
(1991-2020) average, making this the slowest start to an eastern 
Pacific season during the reliable period of records in the basin 
(1971-2024).

Reports on individual storms, when completed, are available at the 
National Hurricane Center website at
