What business does a Hurricane have in the Pacific Ocean?

Question

I don't recall ever hearing about one there in the past.

Can anyone explain?

Answer 1

1. Hurricanes are not uncommon in the Eastern Pacific even if don't recall ever hearing about one in the past.
2. "Hurricanes" are cyclones in the eastern Pacific, "Typhoons" are cyclones in the western Pacific;
3. Many of the Pacific storms start in the eastern Pacific;
4. Most move rapidly west and therefore never directly affect the US or Mexico;

Answer 2

This previous 300 and sixty 5 days, we've been under an El Nino undertaking, the place the oscillation of heat water interior the Pacific ocean became into on the east facet (by North united states of america of america) particularly of the west facet (by Asia). This led to the jet flow to dip down below prevalent, which had the outcomes of bringing extra cooling air from the north down into the southern US, to boot as arising an off shore bypass. the outcomes of this became into to reason particularly cool circumstances that prevented tropical storms from strengthening into hurricanes, shear winds that truly blew the tops off of any typhoon that became into forming, and the off shore bypass deflected any storms that did form faraway from the U. S. mainland. This 300 and sixty 5 days, the oscillation is heading lower back to the western Pacific. So, we've a undertaking stated as l. a. Nina, it is the choice of El Nino. This ends up in circumstances extra conducive to permitting hurricanes to form and strike the U. S. mainland. So, climatologists and meteorologists are predicting that there'll be extra hurricanes than the common, while in comparison with final 300 and sixty 5 days while they expected much less hurricanes than familiar. It has no longer something to do with 2012, it is in basic terms a narrative that somebody made up and made right into a action picture to scare human beings and sell action picture tickets. it is like the flicks Avatar and Alice in Wonderland. they do no longer look to be genuine. And, nor is 2012.

Answer 3

In the past, most Hurricanes used to live in the Pacific Ocean.
But then, free market policies done by the Pacific Hurracainist Republic caused most large hurracainistic businesses and corporations to move to the Atlantic to maximize their profits.
That's why, the lack of job opportunities in the Pacific means that the hurracaine populations have to move to the Atlantic to find better jobs and feed their little eolic families.

It's a clear case of desperate immigration caused by poverty, if I ever saw one!

Answer 4

Certain regions only, see below:

A severe tropical cyclone originating in the equatorial regions of the Atlantic Ocean or Caribbean Sea or eastern regions of the Pacific Ocean, traveling north, northwest, or northeast from its point of origin, and usually involving heavy rains.
A wind with a speed greater than 74 miles (119 kilometers) per hour, according to the Beaufort scale.

Answer 5

On the Pacific the winds are traveling in the opposite direction of the eye as that of a hurricane and are known as typhoons.

Answer 6

The storms called 'hurricanes' in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico are usually called "cyclones" or "typhoons" in the Pacific.

But this particular storm started in the Gulf of Mexico and was named as a hurricane. When it drifted into the Pacific they kept the name.

Answer 7

the pacific ocean cant create hurricanes because of the wind flow.

Answer 8

We have to be aware that the climate is changing, the CO2 emissions, the global warming and the whole atmosphere don't care that "emission control" is "bad for business" they are going to react to the change and we will suffer the consequences of our lack of vision.

Answer 9

Hurricane is a typhoon. Same storms but different names.

Answer 10

they've had them there for years. I've lived in SW for 3 yrs and remember several.

They don't get as far north as california cause the water is too cold there.

and for the good news-we're getting rain!! i live in the desert and miss thunderstorms where it actually rains.
