Monthly Tropical Weather Summary
NWS Central Pacific Hurricane Center Honolulu HI
700 AM HST Tue Dec 1 2020

For the central North Pacific, between 140W and 180W:

The 2020 tropical cyclone season in the central North Pacific 
featured an early start followed by four consecutive months without 
a single tropical cyclone. Tropical Depression Boris moved into the 
basin from the east in June, making it the first June tropical 
cyclone in the basin since Barbara in 2001, and only the second on 
record (dating back to 1966). A few weeks after Boris, Major 
Hurricane Douglas tracked rapidly west-northwest across the entire 
basin, and passed dangerously close to the Hawaiian Islands. The 
subsequent four month drought included the month of August, which is
typically the busiest month of the season. 

Reports on individual tropical cyclones, when completed, are
available at the Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) website at
