First Day of East Pacific Hurricane Season starts with Aletta
      #92505 - Tue May 15 2012 07:02 AM

May 15th is the first official day of the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season, the Atlantic starts on June 1st.

And this year the East Pacific is already active with Tropical Storm Aletta forming this morning. The system is well away from land areas and not moving toward any.

The Atlantic had a weak system in the Central Atlantic (92L) that has fallen apart, and nothing else likely remains.

In years past, many times when the East Pacific was active, the Atlantic was quite (And sometimes vice-versa). This year's early Atlantic season will likely be slow with just a few things to watch, and little to no actual storms. Late July and August things may pick up, with mid August - mid October being they key times to watch.

The site will continue to focus less on hype and more just facts, we will highlight areas that could potentially form (such as invests or disturbances, but will avoid speculation on what will occur. Long range model runs can be especially misleading in the first two months of hurricane season (and really the entire season)..
