Timeline of the 2006 Pacific hurricane season

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Below is a timeline of the 2006 Pacific hurricane season, documenting all the storm formations, strengthening, weakening, landfalls, extratropical transitions, as well as dissipation. The 2006 Pacific hurricane season was a season in which an El Niño event caused slightly-above-average tropical cyclone activity. The season officially began on May 15, 2006, and lasted until November 30. For convenience and clarity, in the timeline below, all landfalls are bolded. The timeline also includes information which was not operationally released, meaning that information from post-storm reviews by the National Hurricane Center, such as information on a storm that was not operationally warned on, have been included.

The graphical bar above gives a brief overview of storm activity during the season, and for convenience, the storm's maximum intensity is included as a colour bar.
