Tropical cyclones in 2011


During 2011, tropical cyclones formed within seven different tropical cyclone basins, located within various parts of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. The strongest tropical cyclone of the year was Typhoon Songda, with a minimum central pressure of 920 hPa. The costliest tropical cyclone of the year was Hurricane Irene, which caused $14.2 billion worth of damage. The deadliest tropical cyclone of the year was Severe Tropical Storm Washi, which killed 2,546 people. During the year, a total of 130 tropical cyclones had formed this year to date. 75 tropical cyclones had been named by either a Regional Specialized Meteorological Center or a Tropical Cyclone Warning Center. Thirty-nine of these named systems eventually intensified into hurricane-equivalent tropical cyclones.
The most active basin in the year was the Western Pacific, which documented 21 named storms. North Atlantic basin documented 19 named storms, continuing the consecutive third-most active season trends from the previous year, due to the 2010–12 La Niña event. Conversely, the Eastern Pacific basin featured slightly more activity than the previous season, with 11 named storms. The least active basin in the year was the North Indian Ocean basin which documented only 2 named storms, the lowest since the 1993 season. Activity across the Southern Hemisphere were almost evenly spread, with the South-West Indian Ocean basin recording 10 tropical cyclones, the Australian region recording 17 tropical cyclones, and the South Pacific basin also recording 10 tropical cyclones, respectively. Twenty-one Category 3 tropical cyclones formed in the year, including three Category 5 tropical cyclones. The accumulated cyclone energy index for the 2011, as calculated by Colorado State University was 573.8 units.
Tropical cyclones are primarily monitored by a group of ten warning centers, which have been designated as a Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre or a Tropical Cyclone Warning Center by the World Meteorological Organization. These are the United States National Hurricane Center and Central Pacific Hurricane Center, the Japan Meteorological Agency, the Indian Meteorological Department, Météo-France, Indonesia's Badan Meteorologi, Klimatologi, dan Geofisika, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, Papua New Guinea's National Weather Service, the Fiji Meteorological Service as well as New Zealand's MetService. Other notable warning centers include the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration, the United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center, and the Brazilian Navy Hydrographic Center(BNHC).

Global atmospheric and hydrological conditions

The strong La Niña from the previous year continued into 2011, whereby it peaked in January. Afterwards, it began weakening considerably, to the point where in May it was determined that a transition to neutral conditions took place. By the end of Summer, this neutral state continued to persist, although there were still remnants of the La Niña evident. Due to continued cooling of the Pacific, it was determined that the La Niña redeveloped, albeit in a weak state, which would then continue into the next year.
