Hello there! I'm CycloneYoris! I've been a registered user since 2015. I used to read and edit Wikipedia occasionally as an unregistered user (IP) for about eight years, circa 2007, until I finally decided to create my own account.
I spend most of my time editing tropical cyclone related articles (mainly storms from the
Eastern Pacific and
Atlantic), but I also enjoy reverting vandalism and editing any other topic that catches my eye!
I absolutely LOVE
tennis, so it's more than likely that you'll see me editing on that topic as well.

The 2015 Pacific hurricane season is the second-most active
Pacific hurricane season on record, with 26 named storms, only behind the
1992 season. A record-tying 16 of those storms became hurricanes, and a record 11 storms further intensified into major hurricanes throughout the season. The Central Pacific, the portion of the Northeast Pacific Ocean between the
International Date Line and the
140th meridian west, had its most active year on record, with 16 tropical cyclones forming in or entering the basin. Moreover, the season was the third-most active season in terms of
accumulated cyclone energy, amassing a total of 290 units. The season officially started on May 15 in the Eastern Pacific and on June 1 in the Central Pacific; they both ended on November 30. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the
Northeast Pacific basin. However, the formation of tropical cyclones is possible at any time of the year. This was shown when a tropical depression formed on December 31. The above-average activity during the season was attributed in part to the very strong
2014–16 El Niño event.
The season featured several long-tracking and powerful storms, although land impacts were often minimal. In June,
Hurricane Blanca, an early season Category 4 hurricane, killed four people due to rough seas.
Hurricane Carlos caused minor damage while passing a short distance off the coast of Mexico. In July, the remnants of
Hurricane Dolores brought record rainfall to
Southern California, killing one and causing losses worth over $50 million. On August 29, three Category 4 hurricanes (Kilo, Ignacio, Jimena) were all active simultaneously in the Pacific east of the International Date Line for the first time in recorded history. In September, moisture from
Hurricane Linda contributed to storms that killed 21 people in
Utah. Later that month,
Hurricane Marty inflicted $30 million in damage to the southwestern coast of Mexico. In October,
Hurricane Patricia became the most intense hurricane ever recorded in the Western Hemisphere, with a
central pressure of 872
mbar (
hPa; 25.75
inHg) and 1-minute
sustained winds of 215
mph (345
km/h). After also becoming the strongest landfalling
Pacific hurricane on record at the time, Patricia claimed 13 lives and was responsible for $463 million in damage. The season's activity continued into November when
Hurricane Sandra became the strongest Pacific hurricane ever recorded in that month. Damage across the basin reached $566 million, while 45 people were killed by the various storms. (Full article...)

The 2022 Atlantic hurricane season was a very destructive and deadly
Atlantic hurricane season, which had an average number of
named storms. Despite this, it became the third-costliest Atlantic hurricane season on record, behind only
2017 and
2005, mostly due to
Hurricane Ian. The season officially began on June 1, and ended on November 30. These dates, adopted by convention, historically describe the period in each year when most
subtropical or
tropical cyclogenesis occurs in the Atlantic Ocean. This year's first Atlantic named storm,
Tropical Storm Alex, developed five days after the start of the season, making this the first season since
2014 not to have a pre-season named storm.
Two systems developed on July 1.
Tropical Storm Bonnie formed and made landfall near the
Costa Rica–Nicaragua border. It then crossed over into the
Pacific basin, becoming the first to survive the crossover from the Atlantic to the Pacific since
Hurricane Otto in
2016. Also, Tropical Storm Colin formed abruptly and made landfall in
South Carolina, before quickly weakening and dissipating the next day. Following this activity, tropical cyclogenesis was suppressed across the basin for several weeks by a combination of high
wind shear, drier air, and the presence of the
Saharan Air Layer. This stopped all tropical cyclogenesis in August, the first season to do so since
1997, and the first during a
La Niña. After an almost 60-day lull in tropical cyclone activity, hurricanes Danielle and
Earl formed on September 1 and 3 respectively, with Danielle becoming the season's first hurricane. The last season to have its first hurricane develop this late was
2013. (Full article...)

The 2019 Atlantic hurricane season was the fourth consecutive above-average and damaging season dating back to
2016. The season featured eighteen named storms, however, many storms were weak and short-lived, especially towards the end of the season. Six of those named storms achieved hurricane status, while three intensified into major hurricanes. Two storms became Category 5 hurricanes, marking the fourth consecutive season with at least one Category 5 hurricane, the third consecutive season to feature at least one storm making landfall at Category 5 intensity, and the seventh on record to have multiple tropical cyclones reaching Category 5 strength. The season officially began on June 1 and ended on November 30. These dates historically describe the period each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin and are adopted by convention. However,
tropical cyclogenesis is possible at any time of the year, as demonstrated by the formation of Subtropical Storm Andrea on May 20, making this the fifth consecutive year in which a tropical or
subtropical cyclone developed outside of the official season.
The season's first hurricane,
Barry, formed in mid-July in the northern Gulf of Mexico and struck
Louisiana. Barry caused two deaths and produced flooding in
Arkansas,
Alabama, Louisiana, and
Mississippi, with damage totaling about $600 million (2019
USD).
Hurricane Dorian, the most intense tropical cyclone of the season, proved to be the costliest natural disaster in the history of the Bahamas, becoming the strongest hurricane to strike the country. Overall, Dorian caused about $5.1 billion in damage and 84 fatalities, mostly in the Bahamas. The 2019 season was the record fourth consecutive season to feature at least one Category 5 hurricane.
Tropical Storm Fernand left flooding in Mexico, with approximately $11.3 million in damage and one death.
Hurricane Humberto produced extensive damage in
Bermuda, totaling at least $25 million. (Full article...)

Category 4, the second-highest classification on the
Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale, is used for
tropical cyclones that have winds of 130–156 mph (209–251 km/h; 113–136 kn). The division of the eastern and central Pacific basins occurs at 140° W; the eastern Pacific covers area east of 140° W, while the central Pacific extends between 140° W to 180° W. Both basins' division points are at 66° N as a northern point and the
equator as the southern point. , 141 hurricanes have attained Category 4 status in the northeastern
Pacific basins. This list does not include storms that also attained Category 5 status on the scale.
Numerous climatological factors influence the formation of hurricanes in the Pacific basins. The
North Pacific High and
Aleutian Low, usually present between January and April, cause strong
wind shear and unfavorable conditions for the development of hurricanes. During its presence,
El Niño results in increased numbers of powerful hurricanes through weaker wind shear, while
La Niña reduces the number of such hurricanes through the opposite.
Global warming may also influence the formation of tropical cyclones in the Pacific basin. During a thirty-year period with two sub-periods, the first between 1975 and 1989 and the second between 1990 and 2004, an increase of thirteen Category 4 or 5 storms was observed from the first sub-period.

The 2023 Pacific hurricane season was an active and destructive
Pacific hurricane season. In the Eastern Pacific basin (east of
140°W), 17
named storms formed; 10 of those became hurricanes, of which 8 strengthened into major hurricanes – double the seasonal average. In the Central Pacific basin (between 140°W and the
International Date Line), no
tropical cyclones formed (for the fourth consecutive season), though four entered into the basin from the east. Collectively, the season had an above-normal
accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) value of approximately 168 units. This season saw the return of
El Niño and its associated warmer
sea surface temperatures in the basin, which fueled the
rapid intensification of several powerful storms. It officially began on May 15, 2023 in the Eastern Pacific, and on June 1 in the Central; both ended on November 30. These dates, adopted by convention, historically describe the period in each year when most
tropical cyclogenesis occurs in these regions of the Pacific.
Forecasts at the outset of the 2023 season predicted busier-than-normal tropical cyclone activity in the eastern Pacific basin, largely due to
El Niño. However, no tropical cyclones formed in the first six weeks of the season. When the first system, Hurricane Adrian, developed on June 27, it became the second-latest forming first named storm in the eastern Pacific in the
satellite era (since 1971), only behind Tropical Storm Agatha in
2016. In July, Hurricane Calvin became the season's first major hurricane, later passing just south of the
Big Island of Hawaii as a tropical storm, bringing widespread rainfall to the area and neighboring
Maui. In August, Category 4
Hurricane Dora passed south of the
Hawaiian Islands and contributed to strong
gradient winds over
Hawaii, which in turn helped fan the flames of
multiple devastating wildfires. Later that month,
Hurricane Hilary made landfall as a tropical storm in
Baja California, later bringing torrential rainfall and gusty winds to the
Southwestern United States. In early September,
Hurricane Jova, the first Category 5 hurricane in the basin since
2018, caused rainfall, high waves and rip currents in areas previously affected by Hilary. (Full article...)
Even though I haven't created any articles for this project, I have created many "Storm Set Index" articles (previously known as storm disambiguation pages), which although few editors seem to notice, they are still necessary for disambiguation purposes.

It's hard to be civil when you're being called a moron. Good job continuing to be civil. It's also ironic how both you and EPicmAx4 both reported each other to AN3... ~Destroyer🌀🌀 19:34, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
