Powerful Storms Continue Active Pacific Hurricane Season

Hurricanes Polo and Nolo have sent destructive effects ashore in the northeastern and central Pacific, according to NASA's Earth Observatory, as an active hurricane season continues in the region.

The two storms are part of a broader pattern of intense tropical activity in the Pacific this season, with NASA's satellite imagery and monitoring tools tracking their development and impacts on coastal areas along their paths.

Monitoring an Active Season

NASA's Earth Observatory regularly documents significant weather events using satellite data, providing visual and scientific context for storms as they develop and make landfall or pass near coastlines. The observatory's coverage of Polo and Nolo fits within this ongoing effort to track and explain notable atmospheric phenomena.

Pacific hurricane seasons typically run from May through November, with activity often peaking in the late summer and early fall months. This year's season has featured a series of notable storms, of which Polo and Nolo are the most recent to draw attention for their destructive onshore effects.

Further details on the specific regions affected, wind speeds and any resulting damage from Polo and Nolo were included in NASA's original Earth Observatory report.
