NationMaster - Encyclopedia: 2005 Pacific hurricane season

The 2005 Pacific hurricane season officially began on May 15, 2005 in the eastern Pacific and on June 1, 2005 in the central Pacific, and lasted until November 30, 2005. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northeastern Pacific Ocean. The season got off to a quick start, with the tropical depression that would become Hurricane Adrian forming just two days into the season on May 17. It took a very rare track skirting El Salvador as a Category 1 hurricane then striking Honduras as a tropical depression. Between June and September, Dora was the only storm that posed a significant threat to land as it skirted the Mexican coast, and Kenneth came close to Hawaii as a dissipating tropical depression. Hurricane Otis appeared to be heading for an encounter with the Baja California peninsula, but turned north-northwest, paralleling the coast, before dissipating.

Pre-season forecasts

The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted a slow year, with only a 10% chance of above-average storm activity in the eastern North Pacific and a 70% chance of below-normal activity. The pre-season forecast predicted 11 to 15 tropical storms, 6 to 8 hurricanes, and 2 to 4 major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale).^[2] The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is a scientific agency of the United States Department of Commerce focused on the conditions of the oceans and the atmosphere. ... is the 136th day of the year (137th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

The forecast for the central North Pacific was for a below-average season, with only two or three storms impacting the region, below the normal four to five.^[3]

Storms

Hurricane Adrian

An early storm, Adrian formed on May 17, only two days after the season began. It strengthened from a tropical depression about 440 miles (710 km) southwest of Guatemala and El Salvador and began tracking northeast towards San Salvador, and reached hurricane strength on the morning of May 19. It turned east and made landfall in Honduras in the Gulf of Fonseca late on May 19, after weakening offshore to tropical depression strength. It weakened rapidly once onshore, dissipating over the mountains of Honduras. Three indirect deaths are linked to the storm, but according to the NHC's May Summary, released June 1, no direct deaths had been reported.

The north-easterly track of this storm was extremely unusual. Only four tropical systems had been recorded to have made landfall in Guatemala or El Salvador since 1966. The only named system ever to do so was Tropical Storm Andres on June 7, 1997, near San Salvador as a tropical depression. The storm was also somewhat rare in how early it was; hurricanes form in May only once about every four years. is the 158th day of the year (159th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Tropical Storm Beatriz

The first tropical storm to form in the Eastern Pacific in June since Carlos in 2003, Beatriz formed 240 nautical miles (445 km or 280 statute miles) south of the Mexican port of Zihuatanejo, Guerrero, on June 21, reaching tropical storm strength the next day, with windspeeds peaking at around 50 mph (80 km/h) on June 23. It slowly moved west and dissipated into a remnant low on the morning of June 24 about 290 miles (470 km) from Cabo San Lucas on the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula, having never threatened land.

Tropical Storm Calvin

Tropical Depression Three-E formed just south of Mexico early on June 26, and reached tropical storm strength and was named Calvin late that day. Tropical storm watches were issued for the southern coast of Mexico around Acapulco as Calvin slowly moved westward, with windspeeds peaking at 50 mph (80 km/h) on June 27, but all watches were cancelled on the morning of June 28 as it moved away from the coast.

Tropical Storm Dora

An active early season continued with Tropical Depression Four-E forming on July 3 from a tropical wave south of the Mexican port of Acapulco, Guerrero. Watches and warnings were issued as it neared the Mexican coast. On the afternoon of July 4, the depression strengthened into a tropical storm while located about 45 miles (75 km) west-southwest of Acapulco. It came within miles of the coast, moving somewhat parallel to it on July 4, dropping heavy rainfall on the region. As it moved away from the coast, all watches were cancelled as it dropped to a tropical depression midday on July 5, finally dissipating early on July 6.

Tropical Storm Eugene

Eugene formed from a tropical disturbance off the central Mexican coast on July 18 and headed northwest, one of the few cyclones to reach tropical storm-strength without being designated as a tropical depression. Initially, as with most Eastern Pacific storms, no public advisories or warnings were issued, since it was heading out to sea. However, on July 19 it came within range of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. Tropical storm watches were issued for the area around Cabo San Lucas for most of the day, but the storm moved away without affecting land.

Tropical Depression One-C

The first tropical system in the central Pacific formed east-southeast of Hawaii on August 3, a month later than the first (and only) central system to develop in 2004. It began a track due west, which could have put it within range of the island of Oahu, Hawaii, a few days later. It was initially forecast to strengthen into a tropical storm (one had not formed in the central Pacific since Huko in the 2002 season). However, the next day's models changed to indicate no further increase in strength. Shortly after that, convection bursts ceased and the system lost its closed circulation while still 725 miles (1200 km) from Hilo.

Hurricane Fernanda

Tropical Depression Six-E formed from an area of disturbed weather some 690 miles (1100 km) south-southwest of Cabo San Lucas in the Mexican state of Baja California Sur on August 9. It was upgraded to Tropical Storm Fernanda late that day, and to Hurricane Fernanda on August 11, as it headed generally west-northwest into the open Pacific. On August 14 it dropped to tropical storm strength over cooler waters and on August 15 weakened to a tropical depression. It degenerated into a remnant low later in the day about 1,650 miles (2,660 km) southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula.

Tropical Storm Greg

Tropical Depression Seven-E formed 670 miles (1100 km) south of Cabo San Lucas on August 11, and was upgraded to Tropical Storm Greg a few hours later. Although only 750 miles (1200 km) from Hurricane Fernanda it showed no signs of being pushed northwards by interaction, but set off westwards to follow Fernanda into the Pacific. Greg was downgraded to tropical depression status on August 14 and remained stationary throughout the day. It began drifting slowly westward early on August 15 and was destroyed by shear later in the day.

Hurricane Hilary

A tropical wave that is asscociated with the formation of Hillary, moved off Western Africa on August 4. The wave initially had a large area of deep convention, but the convention quickly diminished as the system moved across the eastern portion of the tropical Atlantic Ocean. The wave continued westward without much development or organization, and crossed northern South America and then entered the northern Pacific Ocean on August 17. Mid-level circulation and convention organized with the wave, as it was south of Guatemala on August 18. The system's organization persisted, but without defining a well-established center of circulation, at the surface. Tropical Depression Eight-E finally formed from the area of disturbed weather south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec, 140 miles (230 km) south of Puerto Angel, Mexico, on August 19. It strengthened to a tropical storm late that evening, and reached hurricane strength 24 hours later. Moving parallel to the Mexican coast and about 300 miles (480 km) off-shore, it reached category 2 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale late on August 21. Tropical storm strength winds affected the coast and a tropical storm warning was issued for a while. Hilary dissipated not long after weakening to a tropical storm on August 25.

Tropical Storm Irwin

Tropical Depression Nine-E formed in the Eastern Pacific southwest of the Mexican port of Manzanillo, Colima on August 25, out of a remnant wave that split from Atlantic Tropical Depression Ten (the other part of the wave would eventually develop into Hurricane Katrina) that crossed Central America. The depression strengthened to Tropical Storm Irwin early the next day, reaching wind speeds of 50 mph (85 km/h).

Hurricane Jova

After two weeks of calm, Tropical Depression Ten-E formed late on September 11 well south-southwest of the Baja California Peninsula and headed almost due west. Late on September 14, the depression strengthened and was upgraded to tropical storm status. It strengthened further to hurricane status early on September 16. On September 18 it crossed meridian 140°W, becoming the first hurricane in over two years to be in the forecast area of the Central Pacific Hurricane Center. Jova soon strengthened to a major hurricane, the first one to exist in the Central Pacific since Ele in 2002. It weakened as it steered to the northeast of Hawai‘i, weakening to a tropical storm on September 22 and to a tropical depression on September 23 before finally dissipating on September 24.

Hurricane Kenneth

An area of disturbed weather developed into Tropical Depression Eleven-E on September 14. Again, the depression was well south-southwest of the Baja California Peninsula when it formed just 600 miles (970 km) east of Depression Ten-E. It found more favorable conditions than its western neighbor, and was upgraded to Tropical Storm Kenneth just 12 hours after forming. Kenneth strengthened into a hurricane later that day and continued to strengthen very rapidly, becoming the first major hurricane of the season by reaching Category 3 on September 17. The storm became the strongest storm to form this season in the Eastern Pacific when Kenneth peaked with sustained winds of 130 mph (210 km/h), Category 3 on the Saffir Simpson Hurricane Scale. Kenneth began gradually weakening on September 19, and weakened to a tropical storm on September 20. However, Kenneth gained enough strength to be reclassified as a Category 1 hurricane on September 24, and very late on September 25 it crossed 140°W, making it the second hurricane of the season to enter the Central Pacific. It then dropped back again to a tropical storm, and weakened to a tropical depression on September 29 less than 400 miles (640 km) east of Hawai‘i.

Tropical Storm Lidia

A tropical wave, which moved off the African coast at the end of August showed some hints of development while crossing the Atlantic but never developed a tropical circulation there. After crossing the Isthmus of Tehuantepec into the Pacific it acquired better organisation, and became Tropical Depression Twelve-E on September 17. It was the third depression in quick succession to form well SSW of the Baja California Peninsula, and did so less than 800 miles (1,300 km) east of Hurricane Kenneth. It strengthened to Tropical Storm Lidia later the same day, but the next day was pushed off its course and weakened by the new and larger Tropical Depression Thirteen-E, which became Tropical Storm Max. On September 18, Lidia was completely absorbed by the circulation of Max.

Hurricane Max

Tropical Depression Thirteen-E formed 500 miles (800 km) south-southeast of the tip of the Baja California Peninsula on September 18. It was sufficiently close to Lidia that it blew the earlier, weaker storm rapidly to the north. It strengthened to Tropical Storm Max within a few hours, and absorbed the remnants of Tropical Depression Lidia. On late September 19 the tropical storm was upgraded to Hurricane Max. The system began to weaken almost immediately thereafter, however, and Max dissipated in the early morning hours of September 22.

The merger of two tropical cyclones or the absorption of one tropical cyclone by another are uncommon events in the National Hurricane Center's area of responsibility. The last documented case of such an occurrence in the eastern North Pacific was when Hurricane Gil absorbed Tropical Storm Henriette in September 2001.

Tropical Storm Norma

Tropical Depression Fourteen-E formed 400 miles (640 km) southwest of the Mexican port of Manzanillo, Colima, on September 22, barely twenty-four hours after the Joint Typhoon Warning Center had initiated a warning noting that "formation of a tropical cyclone is possible." Four hours later Tropical Depression Fourteen-E had strengthened into Tropical Storm Norma. It was never a threat to land, and the NHC ceased advisories with the final advisory at 2 a.m. PDT (0900 UTC) September 27.

Hurricane Otis

Tropical Depression Fifteen-E formed 130 nautical miles (240 km) south-southwest of the Mexican port of Manzanillo, Colima, on September 28 out of an Atlantic wave that crossed into the Pacific (split off from what would become Hurricane Philippe in the Atlantic). Twenty four hours later it was upgraded to Tropical Storm Otis. Early on September 30 it was upgraded to a hurricane, and it reached category 2 on October 1 with 105 mph (170 km/h) winds before weakening again as it drifted very slowly northwards.

Tropical Depression Sixteen-E

Tropical Depression Sixteen-E formed about 400 nautical miles (740 km) south of the Mexican port of Acapulco, Guerrero, late on October 14 (early October 15 UTC). Although initial forecasts expected it to strengthen, the depression never gained enough organisation to become a tropical storm and instead appeared to dissipate. Advisories were discontinued on October 18, but resumed on October 19 when the remnant low pressure area regenerated deep convection. The system still struggled to develop, apparently due to the entrainment of relatively dry air inhibiting sustained convection. The second final advisory was issued at 2 p.m. PDT (2100 UTC) October 20. The remnant was absorbed into the ITCZ the next day.
