NWS CENTRAL PACIFIC HURRICANE CENTER HONOLULU HI
100 AM HST SAT DEC 1 2012

FOR THE CENTRAL NORTH PACIFIC...BETWEEN 140W AND 180

...THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR WITH ONLY ONE TROPICAL CYCLONE...

THERE WAS ONE TROPICAL CYCLONE...TROPICAL STORM DANIEL...IN THE 
CENTRAL NORTH PACIFIC DURING THE OFFICIAL 2012 HURRICANE SEASON... 
WHICH ENDED FRIDAY NOVEMBER 30. 

THIS HAS BEEN THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR WITH ONLY 1 TROPICAL 
CYCLONE IN THE CPHC AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY. IN ADDITION...NONE OF 
THESE 3 TROPICAL SYSTEMS REACHED HURRICANE INTENSITY. THE ONLY OTHER 
THREE YEAR PERIOD SINCE 1966 THAT HAD A SIMILAR SPARSE NUMBER OF 
TROPICAL CYCLONES WAS WHEN A TOTAL OF 4 OCCURRED DURING THE YEARS 
1979...1980 AND 1981...WHEN 0...2 AND 2...RESPECTIVELY...WERE 
OBSERVED. HOWEVER...EVEN DURING THIS PREVIOUS THREE YEAR PERIOD WITH 
LOW NUMBERS OF TROPICAL CYCLONES...ONE OF THESE SYSTEMS WAS A 
HURRICANE...WHICH WAS KAY OF 1980.

FOR THOSE WHO MIGHT BELIEVE THIS RECENT TREND OF MEAGER CENTRAL 
NORTH PACIFIC TROPICAL CYCLONE NUMBERS JUSTIFIES NOT PREPARING FOR 
FUTURE TROPICAL STORMS OR HURRICANES...NOTE THAT FOLLOWING THE YEARS 
1979 TO 1981...THE 1982 CENTRAL NORTH PACIFIC HURRICANE SEASON HAD A 
TOTAL OF 10 TROPICAL CYCLONES...INCLUDING 4 HURRICANES. IN FACT... 
ONE OF THESE SYSTEMS WAS HURRICANE IWA WHICH DIRECTLY IMPACTED THE 
MAIN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS IN NOVEMBER 1982. THIS HURRICANE RESULTED IN 4 
DEATHS AND CAUSED WIDESPREAD DEVASTATION ON THE ISLANDS OF OAHU... 
KAUAI AND NIIHAU. MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND BUILDINGS WERE DAMAGED OR 
DESTROYED DURING IWA...WHICH LEFT AT LEAST 500 PEOPLE HOMELESS.
