The 2010 Pacific hurricane season was one of the least active seasons on record, featuring the fewest named storms since 1977. The season officially started on May 15 in the eastern Pacific—east of 140°W—and on June 1 in the central Pacific—between the International Date Line and 140°W—and lasted until November 30. The season's first storm, Tropical Storm Agatha, developed on May 29; its final storm, Tropical Storm Omeka (satellite image pictured), degenerated on December 21. The season began with record-breaking activity with four named storms, including two major hurricanes, developing by the end of June. Activity abruptly diminished thereafter, with July, August, and September seeing record low storm development. Although there were relatively few storms, the season proved exceptionally deadly and destructive. Torrential rains associated with Agatha and Tropical Depression Eleven-E killed well over 200 people in Central America and Mexico and left more than $1.5 billion in damage. (Full list...)
