How Nolo developed

  1. September 11 — Winds strengthen to 37 km/h

    FIFTEEN’s sustained wind increases from 28 km/h to 37 km/h by 06:00 UTC. Gusts reach 43 km/h. The storm remains a tropical depression while moving generally west-northwest at 17 km/h.

  2. September 12 — Reaches its strongest recorded wind

    FIFTEEN reaches 56 km/h sustained wind and 64 km/h gusts at 06:00 UTC, its strongest recorded reading. Pressure is 1,006 mb. The storm moves almost due north at 20 km/h while remaining a tropical depression.

  3. September 12 — Pressure rises as winds weaken

    By 18:00 UTC, sustained wind falls to 46 km/h and pressure rises to 1,008 mb. Movement changes to 326°, or northwest, at 16 km/h. This reading marks a clear change from the 56 km/h peak recorded earlier that day.

  4. September 13 — Movement turns from west to west-southwest

    FIFTEEN moves west at 11 km/h at 12:00 UTC, then west-southwest at 9 km/h in the latest reading. Wind increases to 56 km/h and pressure falls to 1,006 mb, while the storm remains a tropical depression.

  5. September 24 — Strengthens into a tropical storm

    Nolo’s winds increase from 56 km/h to 74 km/h, with gusts reaching 85 km/h. The central pressure falls from 1,004 mb to 1,002 mb. The latest reading classifies Nolo as a tropical storm at 14.6° north and 155.8° west, moving west at 13 km/h.

  6. September 25 — Strengthens into a category 1 hurricane

    At 06:00 UTC, Nolo reaches category 1 hurricane strength with sustained winds of 130 km/h and gusts of 150 km/h. The storm’s central pressure is 985 mb at 15.2°N, 155.8°W. Nolo is moving north-northeast at 7 km/h over open water.

  7. September 25 — Strengthens into a category 2 hurricane

    At 18:00 UTC, Nolo strengthens into a category 2 hurricane with 167 km/h winds, 192 km/h gusts and 978 mb pressure. The reading places Nolo 377 km south of Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, USA, at 16.3, -155.4, moving at 9° at 11 km/h. This is Nolo’s strongest recorded point.

  8. September 27 — Weakens to a category 1 hurricane

    At 00:00 UTC, Nolo’s wind speed was 148 km/h, down from 157 km/h six hours earlier. The reading classified Nolo as a category 1 hurricane after five readings as a category 2 hurricane with winds of 167 km/h. Nolo was 327 km south of Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, USA.

  9. September 27 — Strengthens to a category 2 hurricane

    Nolo’s latest reading at 12:00 UTC records category 2 hurricane status, with sustained winds of 157 km/h, gusts of 181 km/h, and pressure of 969 mb. The previous reading recorded category 1 status and winds of 148 km/h. The latest coordinates are 16.2°N, 157.8°W.

  10. September 27 — Strengthens into a category 3 hurricane

    At 18:00 UTC, NOLO strengthened from a category 2 to a category 3 hurricane. Sustained winds increased to 185 km/h, with gusts of 213 km/h, while pressure fell to 966 mb. The reading places NOLO at 16.1° N, 158.8° W, moving west at 18 km/h.

  11. September 28 — Strengthens into a category 4 hurricane

    At 00:00 UTC on September 28, Nolo’s winds reached 213 km/h, with gusts of 245 km/h and pressure of 948 mb. The reading follows category 3 intensity at 185 km/h and marks Nolo’s strongest recorded wind and lowest recorded pressure in the available history.

How Nolo is behaving

The readings show a tropical depression with variable organization rather than a steady intensity trend. Sustained wind rises from 28 km/h to 56 km/h between September 10 and September 12, then drops to 46 km/h before returning to 56 km/h in the latest reading. Central pressure falls from 1,009 mb to 1,006 mb, rises to 1,008 mb, and falls again to 1,006 mb. Central pressure is the pressure at the storm’s centre; lower values can accompany a more organized circulation, but these readings alone do not establish a continuous strengthening trend. Movement changes from stationary, to west-northwest, north, northwest, west, and finally west-southwest.

How to track Nolo

Turn on RainViewer’s tropical storm tracks layer to follow FIFTEEN’s observed path. Each track point shows the storm’s classification at that moment: tropical depression points are cyan, tropical storm points are blue, category 1 points are yellow, category 2 points are amber, category 3 points are orange, category 4 points are red, and category 5 points are dark red. FIFTEEN’s available points are cyan because every reading classifies it as a tropical depression.

The latest point is over open water in the eastern Pacific, with no nearby town, region, country, or named water identified in the readings. Watch the positions, timestamps, wind speeds, and pressure values together to see how the observed track and intensity changed. RainViewer updates radar every 5 minutes.

How FIFTEEN fits into eastern Pacific hurricane history

September is part of the eastern Pacific hurricane season. Tropical cyclones in this basin generally form when warm ocean water, moisture, and a sufficiently organized area of thunderstorms support a rotating circulation. The available readings do not measure those environmental conditions, so they cannot identify the specific cause of FIFTEEN’s formation. The record confirms only that FIFTEEN formed and remained classified as a tropical depression through the latest observation.

FIFTEEN’s intensity can be compared with well-known eastern Pacific storms, although the available readings do not establish a historical connection. Patricia in 2015 reached category 5 intensity before making landfall as a category 4 hurricane. Otis in 2023 reached category 5 intensity and made landfall at that category. FIFTEEN’s strongest recorded wind is 56 km/h, so it has remained far below those historical peak intensities in the data on file.

Storm FAQ

Why is this storm called FIFTEEN instead of having a personal name?

FIFTEEN is the storm’s identifying designation in the available record. Eastern Pacific systems receive personal names after reaching tropical-storm strength, while a system that remains a tropical depression can retain a numbered designation.

What does 258° mean for FIFTEEN’s movement?

A movement direction of 258° means FIFTEEN is moving toward the west-southwest. The latest reading gives its movement speed as 9 km/h.

What does the pressure reading mean for a tropical depression?

The pressure reading describes the air pressure near the centre of FIFTEEN. The latest value is 1,006 mb, but the readings show that pressure has varied between 1,006 mb and 1,009 mb rather than following one uninterrupted trend.

Why do tropical cyclones receive names?

Names give tropical cyclones a clear, short identifier when several weather systems may be active in the same basin. A distinct name also makes it easier for weather services and the public to refer to one system consistently.
