	Hurricane Wilma - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		With Wilma, the 2005 hurricane season broke the record for most storms in a season previously held by the 1933 season.
		The 12th hurricane of the season, Wilma tied the record set in 1969 for most storms of hurricane strength in one season.
		The hurricane began accelerating in the early morning of October 23, exiting the northeast tip of the Yucatán Peninsula and entering the Gulf of Mexico as a Category 2 hurricane.

		1997 was the year of the super typhoons, with eleven typhoons reaching winds of at least 135 knots.

	ABCs of Hurricanes - How Do Hurricanes Form?
		Hurricane Bonnie, which hit the North Carolina coast in 1998, was a Category Two hurricane and caused both flooding of low-lying areas and considerable damage to trees.
		The inner core of the hurricane is known as the eye of the storm—a calm, often clear-skied patch where winds are lightest and pressure is lowest.
		Weather experts have calculated that hurricanes move forward at an average speed of 15-20 miles per hour, but a big storm also has the potential to linger over one area for a while, causing torrential rains, or move so quickly that there is no time to prepare for its arrival.

	Hurricanes and Global Warming - Q&A: The Pew Center on Global Climate Change
		Hurricane intensity is a measure of the strength or maximum wind speed of a hurricane (the category).
		Hurricane activity is the term used by the National Hurricane Center that encompasses both the frequency and intensity of hurricanes in a season.
		Hurricane Dean struck the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico as a category 5 hurricane on August 21 and Felix struck Nicaragua as a category 5 hurricane on September 4. This is the first time in recorded history that two hurricanes have made landfall at category 5 strength during the same season.

		Although hurricanes can form as early as late May and continue into December in the Caribbean Sea or the Gulf of Mexico, the official Atlantic hurricane season starts June 1st and ends November 30th.
		During this time, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) maintains a continuous watch on tropical cyclones over the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico, as well as the eastern North Pacific.
		Generally, warm water needed to generate hurricanes is beginning to cool in late autumn, and weather patterns become unfavorable for tropical cyclone development.

		In the eastern North Pacific, in a region extending from the western coast line of North America westward to a longitude of 140 degrees west longitude, the official hurricane season defined by the National Hurricane Center will commence in slightly more than two weeks (15 May to be precise).
		The 1998 hurricane season in the Atlantic was one of the deadliest on record, as three major hurricanes caused more than 11,000 fatalities.
		One of the major hurricanes in the century of the Atlantic Basin was Hurricane Mitch, which had sustained surface winds of 180 mph and gusts estimated at more than 200 mph, the fourth strongest Caribbean hurricane this century.

	The 1997 Central Pacific Tropical Cyclone Season
		During the winter of 1996-1997 and the spring of 1997, the sea surface temperatures in the Eastern and Central Pacific near the equator showed a significant warming with the onset of an El Niño event.
		This is twice the 36 year average of 4.5 and substantially greater than the 1995 season (1 tropical storm) and the 1996 season (2 tropical depressions).
		The 1997 season had the fourth highest number of tropical cyclones in the Central Pacific since accurate and complete records were started in 1961 with the advent of weather satellites.

	HURRICANES IN HAWAII
		The winds in a hurricane are a maximum near the surface and decrease with height.
		Hurricanes impact Hawaii through the combined effects of strong winds, possible tornadoes, torrential rains, and elevated tides and large waves on coastal and inland areas.
		The climatology of hurricane tracks over the central Pacific shows a mean track passing to the south of the Hawaiian Islands (Figure 6) and a maximum hurricane occurrence during the late summer when the ocean surface is warmest (Figure 7).

	Hurricane - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
		Indeed, the formation process for hurricanes can be readily explained by meteorologists; the difference is that somewhere along the way, hurricanes pick up a kind of limited consciousness, allowing them to steer themselves through the Atlantic Ocean to hit the area of their choice.
		Hurricane Camille began as a relatively strong, 115 mph storm that knocked into the tip of Cuba on August 15.
		There were certain undefined rules for both the people and the hurricane: the former were perfectly willing to let a hurricane rage outside as long as they got some entertainment out of it, and the hurricane typically was satiated with a sacrifice of trees, stray pets, and sometimes an automobile or two.

	Teachers' Domain: Earth System: El Niño's Influence on Hurricane Formation
		Hurricanes can originate over warm tropical oceans when one of three scenarios exist: (1) ripples indicating instability develop in the easterly trade winds; (2) mid-latitude weather systems intrude into the tropics; or (3) low pressure areas form where the trade winds of the northern and southern hemispheres converge, or meet.
		As a result, hurricane activity generally increases in the Pacific basin, especially in the South Pacific, the central North Pacific near Hawaiʻi, and the western North Pacific between 160° East longitude and 180° East longitude (the International Dateline).
		In 2004 and 2005, the Atlantic hurricane season was very active, but 1997 — an El Niño year — experienced relatively few hurricanes compared with the long-term average, and those that did form were weak and short-lived.

		Hurricane Bertha which was category 2 when it hit N Carolina had more of a subtropical look to it as it had no convection south of the center.
		Still, 1997 should be significantly more active than the average of the generally suppressed hurricane seasons during the last 25 years and especially in comparison to the particularly quiet seasons of 1991-1994.

		Hurricanes, on the other hand, are driven by a variety of factors, of which, the SSTs are only one.
		While the SST link to hurricanes is more complicated than that to coral bleaching, it is not a complete surprise that strong hurricanes and coral bleaching events often occur in the same places each year.
		Of course, the 2005 hurricanes and the bleaching were both driven by the warm water, so perhaps we would not have had one event without the other.

		The last time the Caribbean experienced little or no hurricane activity was in 1997, the first year of the most intense El Niño event.
		One reason for the relatively quiet Hurricane Season in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico this year may be attributed to the sudden appearance of another El Niño-Southern Oscillation or Warm ENSO event across the central and eastern regions of the tropical Pacific Ocean.
		The current El Niño in the Pacific is expected to persist for another three months before sea surface water temperatures return to normal or revert to a cold phase.
