October 7 — Weakens to a tropical storm.
Nolo weakens from a category 1 hurricane to a tropical storm by 18:00 UTC. Sustained winds fall from 120 km/h at 12:00 UTC to 111 km/h, while gusts decrease from 138 km/h to 128 km/h. Pressure rises from 984 mb to 988 mb. The latest reading places Nolo at 25.9°N, 157.8°W, moving west at 35 km/h.
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 Nolo’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. Nolo’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. Set an alert for your area in the RainViewer app on Google Play or the App Store.
How Nolo 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 Nolo’s formation. The record confirms only that Nolo formed and remained classified as a tropical depression through the latest observation.
Nolo’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. Nolo’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 Nolo instead of having a personal name?
Nolo 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 Nolo’s movement?
A movement direction of 258° means Nolo 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 Nolo. 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.
