2023 Pacific Hurricane Season Animation 

Enjoy, took me over a month to make. This season was crazy!

Otis was just mad crazy... it went from a Cat 2 to a Cat 5 in 3 hours and reached peak intensity just 140km before making landfall in Acapulco... its the first Cat 5 to landfall in the pacific coast in Mexico and the second Deadliest and strongest hurricane ever only passed by Gilbert in 1988 which made landfall as Cat 5 in Yucatan Peninsula

2:45 “Hola, I’m Dora THEE explorer, and today we're gonna traverse the entire Pacific Ocean as a hurricane”

I never thought I would ever experience a cat 5 hurricane landfall in real life, insane

Otis wasn't just the first Category 5 Landfall on the Pacific Mexican coastline, it was also arguably the single greatest failure in weather forecasting in recent times with nothing and no agency predicting the catastropic consequences for the city of Acapulco that we saw. No doubt everyone in the Wx community will be debating Otis and its forecasts for years to come.

This is the first time the Pacific hurricane season becomes more interesting and historic than the atlantic

6:46 that effect was spectacular!

Unfortunate that kenneth broke the cat 4 streak of that name

Hurricane Dora makes history exploring the Pacific while Otis was devasting.

Finally this insane season gets an animation!

8:34 is it just me, or if you look at Florida for a second, you can see Harold's precursor?

2023 was wild Not only NATL humiliate WPAC IN AN EL NIÑO, but the EPAC tied with WPAC in named storms. I also noticed a lot of similarities between WPAC and EPAC this year: One storm making the season one of if not the costliest season ever (Otis and Doksuri) A category 4 landfall from a storm that ends with a (Saola & Lidia) One super strong Category 5 that stayed out of land (Jova & Bolaven) Yea you could say most of these are common but still

I think Otis will be retired in the Pacific basin, first time since Patricia in 2015.

6:47 | Acapulco: OTIS! NO HAGAS ESO! 6:48 | I’m Otis the cow. Sorry but it’s too late to say goodbye

The fact that this season has it all like: Fastest intensification storms(Jova and Otis) Longest tracking storm(Dora) Longest lasting storm(Dora) Strongest landfalling storms(Otis) Rare landfalling storm(Hilary) Costliest storms (Otis). The 2023 Pacific hurricane season is truly a crazy year because of how many storms intensified to a major hurricane which is very above average.

I'm from Ensenada Baja California Mexico, Hilary wasn't impressive here where I live even though I live in front of the sea about 1-3 kilometers from the sea, it just rained and that's it.

By damage, this is easily the costliest eastern pacific hurricane season on record… nothing comes close.

TWO versions of Faraway Shores together?! Both the 2013 and 2019 ones playing at the SAME TIME!!!

Jova at 185 surprised me... Lol

Good animation… but can we use some of the more original music again? I miss it in animations. Ooh- commented before I saw it… faraway shores at the end!

i definitely agree with Jova, it was at least 175 MPH. it's overall appearance made it look like it could've been anywhere between 175-195 MPH i give Jova 190/900

2:59 Ah yes, the Klaus of the EPac

Hilary: “CALIFORNIA HERE I COME”.

Nice take for Jova. Glad you went for something which the TCR will represent rather than its current statistic. Pog take.

EPAC Basin is Eventually Crazy

Excited for 2023 Pacific Typhoon Season

Good job. Can't wait for a similar video for the Western pacific

I honestly don’t mind the new landfall marks. I think they work well for huge landfalls. The old ones work better for weaker landfalls.

When this comes to the naming list, this season is similar to 1993 which is three decades ago by now. Just missed by one major hurricane. But this season breaks a lot of records, and EPAC should deserve a lot of attention like North Atlantic and West Pacific basin (especially NATL) usually garners. What's very concerning about this season though, is that the American media cares about East Pacific hurricanes impacting US, not Mexico, which makes everything harder to assess impacts on countries outside U.S. IIRC media's main focus regarding Norma is the remnants soaking Texas and Oklahoma, not potential impacts on Sinaloa. While media covered impacts on Baja California, media seems to be concerned about tropical cyclone's impact on Americans. Only time I considered the coverage to be fair is during Hurricane Hilary, and may be Otis, but the rest is quite unfair IMO. I hope that eventually American media can take EPAC basin more seriously in the future.

John holds the record for longest lasting storm. South India ocean takes the record with Freddy. The eastern pacific: nah that's my record *throws Dora in the water*

11:18 That was AWESOME animation!

This was an insane season that I was glad I could help donate relief to and potentially save lives with streaming: #1 Dora - This storm unofficially peaked as a C5 THREE TIMES! Insane how a storm can go so long without undergoing an EWRC. Also insane how Dora reformed again in the CPAC. #2 Hilary - This was the storm that started my livestreaming journey of raising money and trying to save lives. #3 Jova - This storm had a beautiful appearance and confused many on how strong the system actually was. We believe it was 165kts (185mph) due to dvorak and the high-res satellite pass confirmed how warm its eye was #4 Lidia - This storm was one of our teams greatest accomplishments on predicting it would be a major hurricane before anyone else. We got the word out and potentially saved lives. Also donated $78 for the 78 new subscribers gained then. #5 Norma - This storm we livestreamed for around 7 hours on, and I am so thankful on how much it weakened before making landfall. #6 Otis - I don't think any youtube channel really took the storm that seriously, hence you only see channels doing 1 hour livestreams that barely did anything. Thanks to our amazing team, we got a nearly 11 hour livestream done throughout the night on the storm, helping thousands through it. Also donated $75 for relief efforts. Really hope next year is more relaxed with an upcoming La Nina.

The retirement names for the 2023 Pacific Hurricane Season are here. The names Dora and Otis will be retired and will be replaced with Debora and Otilio for the 2029 Pacific Hurricane Season.

Otis was literally like a jumpscare

We got to find what the music at the summary it’s beautiful just like the animation

Hi Im still waiting for the Western Pacific one haha

Im surprised the analysis here is completely different to the one I saw the super cyclone challenge livestream, what happened?

This year the Pacific and the Atlantic were so active

Amazing animation force 13!!!! You guys did a good job working on it!

I like this new style for the animations in terms of displaying the info and music!

I will use the frame from 2:34~3:52 and I will mark it for you

I wanted to mention that the NHC had Jova potentially peaking at sustained winds of 175 miles per hour in once of their forecast discussions. So major hurricane Jova was probably at 175 mph winds at its peak intensity.

January is here now it's next turn of 2023 North Indian Ocean Cyclone Season

What a year in the EPAC

I think in the force thirteen analysis, Eugene was a cat 1, not a tropical storm and I agree with him

Historic season this was indeed!

Dora and Otis got retired, Remplazed by Debora and Otilio

It must be HILARY-ous to be a hurricane seeing California getting hit

Hurricane Jova 185mph!!!

Keep up the great work

*Unofficial* names used: Oliwa, Pama, Ramon, Salma, Tabor, Upana, Valero, Wene, Alika, Bonita, Cecilio, Delia, Ele, Fatima, Gavino, Huko, Iopa. The name Gavino was retired after its untold devastation in Acapulco and replaced with Gisela.

list c in the alantic is the coastlist ever and now in the pacifc

Surprising. And outstanding editing.

Crazy how Dora holds the C4 intensity in almost half of a month.

It just proves that you don’t need a fast start or a lot of storms to be the most destructive season ever. Also what’s funny is that the eastern pacific have more land impacts and damages than the atlantic this year.

I lived Hurricane Otis, it was very strong, here in the Capital of Guerrero, that Chilpancingo, They flew Blades and the winds were very intense and sometimes they calmed down. 😢 Television stations like Televisa or TV Azteca didn’t come here, but here everything is good, the good thing that didn’t go flooded. 😊

This year was so unique

I actually agree with Jova being 185

WERE MAKING CAT 8 JOVA WITH THIS ONE ------>

2023>2022 2023 same amount of storms more damage and more majors 2022 same amount of storms (not counting sub storms) less damage and less majors

2:34 Boom!

Dora and Otis have been retired. They will be replaced with Debora and Otilio for 2029.

Why do powerful or strong hurricanes always hit or near mexico around October 23 - October 25

I like the music at first but then towards the end of the video before Otis showed up you reused the same music again after 4 times I believe.

Who is here after Dora and Otis got retired? That now hits close to the 2023 season...

I'm pretty excited for the 2023 WPAC (since this is the EPAC, I'm still pretty excited for this one)

3:23 I’m still mad at Mother Nature

Epic Ethan!

Oops Eugene not Category 1 Hurricane only Tropical Storm by NWS

Whole story Adrian : hello Beatriz : WTH ARE U DOING! GET OFF ME Adrian : only if u get off me too Beatriz : goodbye *Moments later* Calvon : wth... Im the only one here. I want to explore hawaii *fails* aww :( fine. Im gonna leave Dora : HOLA. SOY DORA. IM GONNA EXPLORE U HAWAII *succeful* YES. NOW I SURPASSED CALVIN!. Eugene : Wheres Brianna? DORA : im at the western pacific now Fernanda : Cat 3 Greg : exploring haiwaii 2.0 *fails* aww. Igtg i guess :( HIlary : lets make this destructive! MUAHAHAHA Irwin : im gonna eat u again Hilary : not a chance :) Jova : am i an Indonesian word? Irwin : shut up! Jova : well time to be a cat 5 Kenneth : im only a tropical storm. Noooo! Lidia : hi :). *Fails cutely* ahh :( Max : im max from aecret life of pe- Lidia : ha! Are u a dog! Max : no? Lidia : time to go! Norma : ahy dont i have n so i can be norman! Otis : time to get revenge. Acapolco. Say bye bye! Norma : watch out! Otis : MUHAHAHAHA Pilar : hello. *Only a tropical storm* owh.... *Moments later* Ramon : hi guys. Oh. Im alone. Well time to leave i guess *The end*

Guys I just said the new in summary is too fast and slow it down, NOT REPLACE IT

Pilar just said nope

The 2023 EPAC Season, quite active if I do say so myself. Despite its late start, it still managed to prove itself active...... and destructive. The season begins with Adrian, Beatriz and Calvin, all as hurricanes, threatening land in some sort of way (except for Adrian). Then came Dora, a small, annular and gorgeous looking storm that was also the 2nd longest lasting cyclone of the year, and 3rd longest lasting cyclone on record. Fernanda also intensified quickly and weakened quickly. Greg, the dreaded Hone stealer disappoints everyone, and Hilary, a strong C4 makes an iconic landfall in California. Jova follows suit, likely stronger than estimated and undergoes an incredible intensification phase. Lidia, Norma and Max affect the Mexican coast, and then the big one comes: Otis. One of the most unexpected storms in history, this storm went from a weak TS to a 165mph C5 within a day, taking everyone in Acapulco off guard, and decimating the city. The season was truly an iconic one, one that will likely be remembered for decades to come. Gee, I somehow always give these long overviews of these seasons. I think I'm actually kinda spoiling them lol...

3:23-3:30 you could barely heard a voice when greg is happening throughout that 7 seconds you could say well remove the music it's just the only logical way to do it but I'm too lazy to do it

This has been an issue that I'm complaining about for months and I see others who have the same feeling but I'm going to explain briefly why the new landfall effects is either worse than before or straight up bad First let's look at a recent but not that recent animation like the 2019 Atlantic Hurricane Season Their landfall effects serve their purpose, highlighting that a landfall happened with streaks of the storm's intensity (ts then green etc) with a sound effect to back it up for strong storms Let's check the new one First off, THIS IS A HURRICANE MAKING LANDFALL NOT AN A-BOMB, Second off, the A-bomb effect for tss make their landfalls not that visible because for 2019, all storms get a streak that goes in four directions, here, the A-bomb effect is more transparent for tss, making them look indistinguishable from land, ESPECIALLY IF THE LAND IS GREEN, Third, in compensation for the horrible A-bomb effect, THEY MADE THE SOUND EFFECT EXCLUSIVE TO THE MOST NOTABLE STORM OF THE SEASON, NOT FROM CAT.3 AND ABOVE, PLUS THE SOUND FX SUCKS HARD, In conclusion, pls go back to the 2019 style Edit: 2020 is a much better example

Our president didnt care about Otis

Crazy Season

0:24 the music?

Happy new year🎉🎉

One thing about the season was the C4/C5 pattern where Dora, Fernanda, Hilary, Jova, Lidia and Norma were all powerful majors, yet Eugene, Greg, Irwin and Kenneth were weak TS systems. Then Otis came along and completely broke the odd chain.

2023 was a devastating Pacific hurricane season that was the costliest on record, with a damage total of at least $16.689 billion (USD), mostly due to Hurricane Otis. This season had more than double the average number of major hurricanes - Category 3 or stronger cyclones on the Saffir-Simpson scale. It was an above average season, with seventeen named storms, ten hurricanes and eight major hurricanes and with above average Accumulated Cyclone Energy of 164 units. However, it was the fourth consecutive season in which no tropical cyclones formed in the Central Pacific, making it the lowest four-year period of activity since 2003-2005. The well-above-average activity during the season was attributed in part to the very strong El Niño event, characterized by record-warm sea surface temperatures globally. Entering the season, expectations of tropical activity were slightly high, with most weather agencies predicting a near or above average season. The season began with an slow start, there was no tropical cyclone activity in the basin for the first six weeks of the season, making this one of the latest-starting seasons on record. When the first system, Hurricane Adrian, developed on June 27, it became the second-latest forming first named storm in the eastern Pacific in the satellite era (since 1971), behind only Tropical Storm Agatha in 2016. In August, Category 4 Hurricane Dora passed south of the Hawaiian Islands and may have contributed to strong gradient winds over Hawaii, which in turn fanned the flames of multiple devastating wildfires. Later that month, Hurricane Hilary made landfall as a tropical storm in Baja California, then brought torrential rainfall and gusty winds to the Southwestern United States. In early September, Hurricane Jova, the first Category 5 hurricane in the basin since 2018, caused rainfall, high waves and rip currents in areas previously affected by Hilary. October saw four tropical cyclones strike the Pacific Coast of Mexico. Tropical Storm Max struck Guerrero on October 9, resulting in intense flooding. Less than two days later, Hurricane Lidia rapidly intensified into a Category 4 hurricane and made landfall at peak intensity on Jalisco. Lidia was followed by Hurricane Norma, which made two landfalls in northwestern Mexico less than two weeks later. Hurricane Otis developed in the time period between Norma's landfalls, rapidly intensified into the second Category 5 hurricane of the season, and became the first Pacific hurricane to make landfall at Category 5 intensity, therefore surpassing Hurricane Patricia as the strongest landfalling Pacific hurricane on record. The final storm to form, Ramon, dissipated on November 26, four days before the season officially ends. Altogether, five systems made landfall in Mexico in this year, the greatest number since 2021.

FINALLY

A few mistakes 😅 other then that it's really nioce!

What is new summary song😭

0:07 1:13

2023 north indian ocean cyclone season when??

Features Hilary, Lidia, Norma and Otis all of these storms make landfalls in different areas causing major flooding and heavy landslides.

I dunno how Otis did it, but Otis beat out Patricia

Idalia and Otis 2023 Iggy and Otilio 2029

Hurricane Idalia and Hurricane Otis will retired and replacement will release in Spring 2024

My favorite is otis

The 2023 EPAC season is the second season in a row to feature above average activity, thanks to a El Nino. However, despite this, the season started extremely late, just behind 2016!* The season began with twin hurricanes Adrian and Beatriz, the latter striking Mexico with no major impacts. Similarly, Calvin did not cause significant impacts to Hawaii. Notably, Dora would follow suit as a C4, as it crossed into CPAC and WPAC, the first to do so since Hector 2018, and all of them above hurricane strength, the first (and ONLY OTHER storm) since John 1994! As Dora's long life would have it, Eugene, Fernanda, Greg (arrg), and Hilary formed during Dora's life. The latter later triggered the FIRST ever TS Warnings and Watches in California, USA! The second half of the season was also notable albeit infamous, with Jova becoming a C5 extremely quickly! Similarly, Lidia became a C4 extremely quickly before landfall, and TS Max made landfall before within the same country: Mexico. Norma became a C4 again, but weakened before its landfall in Baja Cali. However, the season will later take a turn for the worse and in the MOST EXPLOSIVE AND UNEXPECTED WAY POSSIBLE with Otis, in which all forecasters and models failed to predict a C5 in time before its cataclysmic landfall near Acapulco, Mexico! This made Otis the FIRST recorded C5 landfall in EPAC history and the strongest at landfall, greatly surpassing Patricia! The season ended somewhat erratically with Pilar and Ramon... The 2023 EPAC season will go down as the most costliest season EVER recorded, greatly surpassing 2013 and 1992! As well, countless records are challenged or broken, some of which are beyond UNIMAGINABLE to ever witness, let alone experience! This is my 3rd year of cyclone tracking since 2021, and I've never seen a EPAC season this extreme ever before, personally! *EDIT: 2016 may not have the latest start due to Hurricane Pali in January, as TS Agatha formed in July. However, Pali formed in CPAC, Agatha in EPAC, making this somewhat debated...

Featuring Dora, Hilary, Jova, Lidia, Norma and Otis.

Is it me or force thirteen animations are starting to get boring

Why wait so long!!! 😅😅

force thirteen best 😄

dora: NATL EPAC CPAP WPAC
