A preview of the 2015 Central Pacific Hurricane Season
The 2015 Central Pacific Hurricane Season runs from June 1 through Nov. 30.
There is a good relation of El Nino years to increased hurricane activity.
The average number of tropical depressions, tropical storms and hurricanes is about four to five per year.
But when you look at El Nino years, in some cases, the number of storms has doubled. For example:
1982: 10 with a direct hit from Hurricane Iwa
1992: 11 with a direct hit from Hurricane Iniki
We’ve gone through seasons with a high number of storms and no direct hits, such as 11 in 1994 and seven in 2009.
Then last year, which was a weak El Nino year, there were five storm systems with Tropical Storm Iselle hitting the southern tip of the Big Island.
El Nino causes warmer temperatures in the Pacific northern hemisphere and warm water makes storms spawn and survive.
Even last year with a weak El Nino, 22 systems were born in the East Pacific, the fourth highest on record.
According to the Climate Prediction Center, there is a 90-percent chance that El Nino will continue through this summer and an 80-percent chance through next year.
It won’t mean that we will get a direct hit, only that there is a higher chance of tropical cyclone formation for this hurricane season.
The Central Pacific Hurricane Forecast will be released May 26.

"Know what you don't know" (Someone, 2020).
Jessica attended the University of San Diego’s lawyer’s assistant program immediately after obtaining her undergraduate degree. She worked as a legal assistant while she pursued her master’s in forensic science. After obtaining her MS. degree she continued to work in the legal field for years till she got involved in the pre-planning business.
She has been working on her PhD in forensic psychology on and off over the past several years.
Her current focus of analysis is assisting in the process of perfecting a comprehensive analysis of LIFE EXPECTANCY as it relates to ELEVATION / LONGITUDE / LATITUDE / POPULATION DENSITY and NUTRITION variables and their relationship to life span and quality of life to produce a dissertation topic that focuses on solutions to the problem of a decreasing life expectancy and its relationship to increasing income inequalities in America.
Improving educational skills training is the #1 variable involved in elevating quality of life while simultaneously raising life expectancy. (Klocko, et al., 2015). A qualitative approach, utilizing both quantitative statistics over time and qualitative population sampling, would best represent all angles of this topic (Stimpson & Walker, 2020).
