For the eastern North Pacific, east of 140 degrees west longitude:

Tropical storm activity in the eastern Pacific basin this November
was about average, with one tropical storm (Lane) that formed

one named storm typically forms in November every two years.

Overall, the 2024 eastern Pacific hurricane season was below normal
