Extremely Rare Event: Eight Tropical Cyclones formed at Once for the First Time Since 1974

North Pacific Ocean is experiencing a very rare and unusual phenomenon. Eight Tropical Cyclones are spinning at the same time, something that hasn’t been seen in more than four decades. This exceptional event occurred on July 22.

Initially, there were two named storms in the Central and eastern Pacific Ocean, Fernanda and Greg. They’re later joined by Tropical Depression Nine-E and Tropical Depression Ten-E. This two eventually went on to become Tropical Storm Hilary and Irwin.
