Monthly Tropical Weather Summary
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 AM PDT Fri Nov 1 2024

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

One named storm formed in the eastern Pacific basin during 
the month of October. This was Kristy, which became a category 5 
hurricane well away from land.  One other tropical depression 
developed during the month.

The formation of one named storm is below the long-term (1991-2020) 
October average of two named storms forming in the month, and the 
formation of one hurricane equals the long-term average of one.  
Kristy becoming a major hurricane exceeds the long-term October 
average of one major hurricane every other year.  The season to 
date Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE), which measures the combined 
strength and duration of tropical storms and hurricanes, is about 
70 percent of the long-term (1991-2020) average.

Reports on individual storms, when completed, are available at the
