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
