Tropical cyclones in 2015


During 2015, tropical cyclones formed within seven different tropical cyclone basins, located within various parts of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. During the year, a total of 133 tropical cyclones had formed this year to date. 92 tropical cyclones had been named by either a Regional Specialized Meteorological Center or a Tropical Cyclone Warning Center.
The most active basin in the year was the Eastern Pacific which documented 26 named systems, was its basin's most active since 1992, despite only amounting to 25 named systems in the Western Pacific. Conversely, both the North Atlantic hurricane and North Indian Ocean cyclone seasons experienced the fewest cyclones reaching tropical storm intensity in recorded history, numbering 11 and 4, respectively. Activity across the southern hemisphere's three basins—South-West Indian, Australian, and South Pacific—was spread evenly, with each region recording seven named storms apiece. That hemisphere's strongest tropical cyclone was Cyclone Pam, which bottomed out with a barometric pressure of 896 mbar in the South-Pacific Ocean.
The strongest of these tropical cyclones was Hurricane Patricia, which strengthened to a minimum barometric pressure of 872 mbar before striking the east coast of Colima in Mexico. The costliest tropical cyclone of the year was Typhoon Mujigae, which struck in China area in October, causing US$4.25 billion in damage. Cyclone Komen was also the year's deadliest storm, killing 280 people primarily in Southeast India.

Global atmospheric and hydrological conditions

North Atlantic Ocean

In the North Atlantic Ocean, atmospheric and hydrological conditions were generally unfavorable for tropical cyclogenesis for the 2014-16 El Niño event. In the tropical Atlantic, sea surface temperatures were cooler than average, characteristic of a negative phase of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation. Additionally, high quantities of Saharan dust along with stronger than average upper-level wind shear over the tropical Atlantic created an unfavorable atmospheric environment. Despite the unfavorable conditions present, activity in the tropical Atlantic was plentiful.
