For the eastern North Pacific, east of 140 degrees west longitude:

Tropical storm activity in the eastern Pacific basin this November 
was about average, with one tropical storm (Lane) that formed 
during the month. There was also one tropical depression that formed 
in November this year. Based on the long-term (1991-2020) average, 
one named storm typically forms in November every two years.

Overall, the 2024 eastern Pacific hurricane season was below normal 
in terms of the number of named storms, hurricanes, and major 
hurricanes. In 2024, 12 named storms formed, of which 4 became 
hurricanes and 3 became major hurricanes (category 3 or greater on 
the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale). These numbers are below 
the long-term (1991-2020) eastern Pacific basin averages of 15 
named storms, 8 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes. In terms of 
Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE), which measures the combined 
strength and duration of tropical storms and hurricanes, activity in 
2024 was about 32 percent below the long-term (1991-2020) average.
