A CPHC rarity

[tmagan]

This year represented the first year since 1979 that there were no tropical depressions, storms, or hurricanes within the Central Pacific Hurricane Centers area of responsibility (140^oW - 180^oW). In fact, no system came very close to be named a depression.

The CFS Ensemble forecast was for 21.5 tropical storms and 10.5 Hurricanes in the Atlantic basin, but only 2 - 3 total named storms for the CPAC...

impressive nina... 19/12/5 in the atlantic, no CPAC storms and record low numbers in the EPAC.

Plus very low numbers in WPAC and practically no activity in WPAC east of the Marianas in the Marshalls and Carolines where things are usually active. A split season with the Philippine Sea and SCS close to usual activity and nearly nada east of 145E very similar to 1998.

So much for that.
