Derived from satellite data, the map shows a band of warmth around the equator on May 30, 2014, just before the Atlantic hurricane season's official start on June 1. The eastern Pacific season begins May 15 and has already produced the first 2014 storm: Amanda, which reached hurricane status over Memorial Day weekend. Hurricane Amanda quickly devolved into a tropical storm and petered out without ever threatening land.
The second named storm of the Pacific hurricane season, tropical depression Boris, is bringing heavy rain and the threat of flash flooding to southeastern Mexico, according to the National Hurricane Center. But Boris is not expected to become a tropical storm or hurricane.
