Juliette — 2025

Juliette formed on 24 August 2025 about 450 nautical miles south of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. It moved generally northwestward over the open eastern North Pacific and existed until about 30 August, when it dissipated well away from land. The storm intensified through 25–26 August, reaching its strongest on 26 August, then gradually weakened as it moved farther from the Mexican coast. Juliette did not make landfall. There were no coastal watches or warnings issued and no reports of damage or casualties tied to the storm. The storm’s peak intensity was 60 knots (about 69 mph) with a minimum central pressure of 994 millibars, reached at 0600 and 1200 UTC on 26 August. Throughout its life it remained a tropical storm and never reached hurricane strength. A wind observation from Clarion Island recorded a sustained wind of 37 knots (about 43 mph) with a gust to 46 knots (about 53 mph) at 1130 UTC on 26 August as Juliette passed nearby. The report includes no other significant storm surge or rainfall measurements at populated locations, and no notable coastal inundation or heavy-rainfall totals were reported for cities or counties. There were no reported deaths—direct or indirect—and no reported damage associated with Juliette. The eastern North Pacific remained the only region affected, and impacts were limited to open-ocean conditions and the observation near Clarion Island. Forecasters noted the storm’s formation was reasonably well anticipated in outlooks, though it developed sooner than expected. Official track and intensity forecasts for Juliette were close to or better than recent averages, and no coastal watches, warnings, or emergency actions were required.
