Climatologically most likely landfall region(s) for current storms, and mean time to that landfall*:
Storm Rank Landfall/Crossing at
Any Intensity Landfall/Crossing at
Hurricane Intensity Landfall/Crossing at Major
Hurricane Intensity
WPAC-LEEPI 1 China (37%) in 3.0 days Taiwan (17%↑) in 43 hours Taiwan (8%) in 43 hours
WPAC-LEEPI 2 Taiwan (24%↑) in 43 hours China (15%↓) in 3.0 days China (3%) in 3.0 days
WPAC-LEEPI 3 Japan (15%↑) in 3.7 days Japan (6%) in 3.7 days Japan (1%) in 3.7 days
AL02-TWO 1 Mexico (87%↑↑) in 29 hours Mexico (21%↑↑↑) in 29 hours Texas (3%) in 3.7 days
AL02-TWO 2 Louisiana (10%↓) in 3.5 days Texas (5%) in 3.7 days
AL02-TWO 3 Texas (9%↑) in 3.7 days Louisiana (2%) in 3.5 days
*Important note: These statistics ignore completely the current intensity or motion of the storm
and are based solely on a climatology based on the current position. They are prone to large forecast error.
Users should use only official forecasts for decisions, such as those provided by NHC, JTWC, and CHC.
