For the eastern North Pacific, east of 140 degrees west longitude:

No tropical cyclones formed in the eastern Pacific basin in the
month of November. Based on a 30-year climatology (1991-2020), one
named storm typically forms in November every second or third
year. This is the first November since 2017 in which a named
storm did not form during the final month of the hurricane season.

Overall, the 2022 eastern Pacific hurricane season featured an
above average number of named storms and hurricanes, and an average
number of major hurricanes. Seventeen named storms formed in the
basin in 2022 (Bonnie and Julia are not included since they formed
in the Atlantic basin). Ten hurricanes occurred in the basin with
four of those becoming major hurricanes (category 3 or greater on
the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale). This compares to the
long-term (1991-2020) averages of fifteen named storms, eight
hurricanes, and four major hurricanes. In terms of Accumulated
Cyclone Energy (ACE), which measures the strength and duration of
tropical storms and hurricanes, the activity in the Eastern Pacific
was near the long-term (1991-2020) average.
