Die Pazifische Hurrikansaison 2002 startete offiziell am 15. Mai 2002 im östlichen Pazifik und am 1. Juni 2002 im zentralen Pazifik und dauerte bis zum 30. November 2002. Diese Daten begrenzen konventionell den Abschnitt des Jahres, in dem sich im nordöstlichen Pazifik die meisten tropischen Wirbelstürme bilden.
Stürme
Hurrikan Alma
| Kategorie-3-Hurrikan | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| |||
| Dauer | 24. Mai – 1. Juni | ||
| Intensität | 100 kn (185 km/h) (1-minütig), 960 hPa | ||
Am 24. Mai bildete sich im Golf von Tehuantepec eine tropische Welle, die am gleichen Tag als tropisches Tiefdruckgebiet Eins-E klassifiziert wurde. Es verstärkte sich langsam zwei Tage später in einen tropischen Sturm und bekam den Namen Alma. Der Sturm zog Richtung Norden und bewegte sich in der Nähe eines subtropischen Rückens über Mexiko. Alma verstärkte sich am 28. Mai zu einem Hurrikan, und nur zwei Tage später, am 30. Mai zu einem Major-Hurrikan der Kategorie 3. Aufgrund starker Windscherung und kühlem Wasser schwächte sich Alma am 1. Juni ab und degenerierte wieder zu einer tropischen Welle.
Alma war einer der frühesten Major-Hurrikane im Ostpazifik, und der zweitstärkste Mai-Hurrikan. Der andere stärkere Major-Hurrikan war der Hurrikan Adolph im Mai 2001.
Tropischer Sturm Boris
| Tropischer Sturm | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| |||
| Dauer | 8. Juni – 11. Juni | ||
| Intensität | 50 kn (95 km/h) (1-minütig), 997 hPa | ||
Tropisches Tiefdruckgebiet Drei-E
| Tropisches Tiefdruckgebiet | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| |||
| Dauer | 27. Juni – 29. Juni | ||
| Intensität | 30 kn (55 km/h) (1-minütig), 1006 hPa | ||
Tropischer Sturm Cristina
| Tropischer Sturm | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| |||
| Dauer | 9. Juli – 16. Juli | ||
| Intensität | 55 kn (100 km/h) (1-minütig), 994 hPa | ||
Hurrikan Douglas
| Kategorie-2-Hurrikan | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| |||
| Dauer | 20. Juli – 26. Juli | ||
| Intensität | 90 kn (165 km/h) (1-minütig), 970 hPa | ||
Am 20. Juli bildete sich eine tropische Welle, die am selben Tag als tropisches Tiefdruckgebiet Fünf-E klassifiziert wurde. Das Tiefdruckgebiet verstärkte sich rapide in einen tropischen Sturm, der sich erst nach Norden, dann nach Westen, und schließlich nach Nordwesten bewegte. Am 22. Juli verstärkte sich Douglas in einen Hurrikan und erreichte seinen Höhepunkt mit Windgeschwindigkeiten von 165 km/h in der Kategorie 2 am nächsten Tag. Der Sturm begann sich danach zu schwächen, da er über kühlere Gewässer zog und eine Eyewall-Neubildung durchführte. Am 24. Juli schwächte sich Douglas erst zu einem tropischen Sturm, und später am Tag zu einem tropischen Tiefdruckgebiet ab. Zwei Tage später degenerierte das System wieder zu einer tropischen Welle.
Hurrikan Elida
| Kategorie-5-Hurrikan | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| |||
| Dauer | 23. Juli – 30. Juli | ||
| Intensität | 140 kn (260 km/h) (1-minütig), 921 hPa | ||
Am 23. Juli generierte sich eine tropische Welle in das Tropische Tiefdruckgebiet Sechs-E. Es bewegte sich Richtung Westen und erreichte nur 12 Stunden nach seiner Bildung Sturmstärke. Elida verstärkte sich rapide und wurde am 24. Juli ein Hurrikan und nur 6 Stunden später ein Major-Hurrikan. Der Hurrikan setzte seine rasche Intensivierung fort und verstärkte sich am 25. Juli für 6 Stunden zu einem Hurrikan der Kategorie 5, dem ersten Kategorie-5-Hurrikan seit Linda im Jahr 1997. Trotz wärmerer Gewässer begann Elida sich wegen einer Zyklischen Eyewall-Neubildung abzuschwächen, sodass das System am 27. Juli nur noch ein tropischer Sturm war und später zu einem Resttief degenerierte. Das Resttief löste sich über dem offenen Ozean etwa 860 km westlich von Los Angeles auf.
Elida erlebte eine der schnellsten Intensivierungen im östlichen Pazifik zu einem Hurrikan. Nur Linda im Jahr 1997 intensivierte sich schneller. Elida hatte keine direkten Auswirkungen aufs Land. Allerdings sorgte sie für schwere Wellen entlang der Küste Mexikos. Niemand wurde getötet und es gab auch keine Schäden.

Tropical Storm Cristina 2002.jpg
Now downgraded to a tropical depression, Tropical Storm Cristina can be seen at full strength in this true-color image taken on July 14, 2002, by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), flying aboard NASA's Terra spacecraft. The land in the upper right-hand corner is Baja California.
The typhoon, which formed to the south a few days ago, moved northward and headed toward Baja California before turning west and dissipating in the eastern Pacific. When this image was taken, the tropical storm bore sustained winds of over 63 kilometers (39 miles) per hour. Currently, sustained winds are at 46 kilometers (28 miles) per hour.

Hurricane fausto 2002 August 24.jpg
This true-color image of Hurricane Fausto was acquired August 24, 2002 by the Aqua MODIS instrument. Fausto started out on August 21st as a tropical depression, but later that same day was upgraded to a tropical storm. Less than 24 hours later, Fausto officially became a hurricane. Fausto spent six days as a hurricane, from August 22 to 26, peaking on the 24th as a level four hurricane (as shown in this image) with winds of 125 knots (1 knot = 1.15 mph) and gusts of up to 150. Fausto whirled northwest throughout the eastern Pacific Ocean and caused waves between 13 and 18 feet in height. But by noon on the 26th, Fausto was downgraded to a tropical storm when its winds fell below 64 knots.
