Satellite photos of 21 tropical cyclones worldwide that reached at least Category 3 on the Saffir–Simpson scale during 2013, from Narelle in January to Bejisa in December.
Among them, Haiyan (far right; on the third row) was the most intense with minimum central pressure of 895 hPa
.

Throughout 2013, 139 tropical cyclones formed in seven different areas called basins. Of these, 67 have been named by various weather agencies when they attained maximum sustained winds of 35 knots (65 km/h, 40 mph). The strongest and deadliest tropical cyclone of the year was Typhoon Haiyan, which was estimated to have a minimum barometric pressure of 895 hPa (26.43 inHg) and caused at least 6,300 deaths in the Philippines.[1] The costliest tropical cyclone of the year was Hurricane Manuel, which was responsible for at least $4.2 billion worth of damages in Mexico.[2] 21 major tropical cyclones formed in 2013, including five Category 5 tropical cyclones. The accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) index for the 2013 (seven basins combined), as calculated by Colorado State University was 618.5 units.

Global atmospheric and hydrological conditions[edit]

The El Niño–Southern Oscillation stayed in its neutral phase throughout the year, with no major fluctuations towards either an El Niño or La Niña event.[3] However, during May and June, sea temperatures in the far eastern tropical Pacific Ocean were well below average.[4] By October, though, they returned to normal.[5]

North Atlantic[edit]

The 2013 Atlantic hurricane season was a very inactive season, featuring only two hurricanes and no major hurricanes.

Eastern Pacific[edit]

The 2013 Pacific hurricane season featured nine hurricanes, including Hurricane Manuel, the second costliest Pacific hurricane on record.

Western Pacific[edit]

The 2013 Pacific typhoon season was the most active season since the 2004 season, deadliest since 1975, and featured Typhoon Haiyan, one of the strongest tropical cyclones to ever exist.

Notes[edit]

1The "strength" of a tropical cyclone is measured by the minimum barometric pressure, not wind speed. Most meteorological organizations rate the intensity of a storm by this figure, so the lower the minimum pressure of the storm, the more intense or "stronger" it is considered to be.
2 Only systems that formed either on or after January 1, 2013 are counted in the seasonal totals.
3 Only systems that formed either before or on December 31, 2013 are counted in the seasonal totals.
4 The wind speeds for this tropical cyclone/basin are based on the IMD Scale which uses 3-minute sustained winds.
5 The wind speeds for this tropical cyclone/basin are based on the Saffir Simpson Scale which uses 1-minute sustained winds.
6The wind speeds for this tropical cyclone are based on Météo-France which uses gust winds.
