Pacific Hurricane Region Sets Record for Big, Long-Lasting Storms, Fueled by El Niño

The Pacific hurricane region east of the international date line has established a new record for the most intense and prolonged storms, a phenomenon significantly amplified by a powerful El Niño. This year's activity has been described as 'berserk,' with storms lasting longer and becoming more powerful. The accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) in this region has surpassed the previous record set in 2018, and the Pacific is expected to soon break the record for most days with a hurricane spinning.
