According to data compiled by Colorado State University tropical scientist Dr. Phil Klotzbach, the 2018 season was the most-active Eastern Pacific hurricane season on record as of Oct. 20, using the ACE index.

Using the index called ACE – Accumulated Cyclone Energy – the 2018 season set a new Eastern Pacific record, since the 2018 ACE total was more than double the average ACE of an entire season, according to Klotzbach’s statistics.

Long-lived, intense hurricanes have a high ACE index while short-lived, weak tropical storms have a low value. The ACE of a season is the sum of the ACE for each storm and takes into account the number, strength and duration of all the tropical storms and hurricanes in the season.

Five storms in 2018 – hurricanes Hector, Lane, Norman, Olivia and Sergio – each lasted 10 days or longer as tropical storms or hurricanes, pumping up the 2018 ACE total.

The reason for the elevated activity can be found in water temperatures with the warmer water supporting more intense tropical cyclones for longer periods of time.

Since the start of hurricane season, sea-surface temperatures have generally been above average from off Mexico’s Pacific coast to an area near the International Date Line.

Given the storm activity in the hurricane season thus far, and with current active systems as Hurricane Willa, the ACE index will likely continue to rise yet increasing the record.
