2017 Pacific Hurricane Season (Official Prediction from Nkechinyer)

Overview
The 2017 Pacific Hurricane Season was the annual event in which Tropical Cyclones formed in the East Pacific, East of 180 degrees in the western hemisphere. The season featured average activity despite a weak La Nina, with 18 named storms, 8 Hurricanes, and only 2 Major Hurricanes. The Season started in Mid-January with the formation of a Un-named Tropical Storm in the Central Pacific, and ends in Early December with the dissipation of Tropical Storm Otis.

January
The Season got off to a unusually early start when a Unnamed Tropical Storm was identified in Season Re-analysis.

Tropical Storm Unnamed
This system formed on January 17th, unusually close to the equator for a La Nina year and the storm broke the record set by Nine-C in 2015 for most southerly storm in the western hemisphere, forming at just 1 degree north latitude. The storm worked North and west, becoming 40 mph, before exiting into the Western Pacific on January 21. The Un-named Tropical Storm made landfall near Bariki, in the Marshall Islands, on January 24, causing no damage or deaths, before dissipating the next day.
