Amanda officially degenerated into a post-tropical remnant low Thursday, roughly one week after first forming as a tropical depression well off the Mexican Pacific coast.
While remaining out to sea, Amanda became the most intense May tropical cyclone on record in the eastern Pacific Ocean, narrowly missing Category 5 status on May 25.
Hurricane Season
The eastern Pacific hurricane season runs from May 15 through November 30. Although the average date of the first named system is June 10, about once every 2-3 years the first named storm forms before this average date. NOAA is forecasting an average to slightly above average hurricane season in the eastern Pacific. The Atlantic hurricane season starts a week from Sunday.
