Pacific hurricane
Mature tropical cyclone that develops within the eastern and central Pacific Ocean
Pacific hurricane
A Pacific hurricane is a tropical cyclone that develops in the Pacific Ocean north of the equator, between 180° and the west coast of North America. For tropical cyclone warning purposes, this area is divided into two regions: the Eastern North Pacific basin (North America to 140°W), and the Central North Pacific Basin (140°W to 180°). Identical phenomena in the western north Pacific are called typhoons. This separation between the two basins has a practical convenience, however, as tropical cyclones rarely form in the central north Pacific due to high vertical wind shear, and few cross the dateline.
