Narda — 2025

Narda developed about 1800 UTC on 21 September 2025 roughly 210 nautical miles south‑southeast of Zihuatanejo, Mexico, from a tropical wave and a disturbance in the monsoon trough. The storm moved generally west‑northwest over the open eastern North Pacific and lasted until it dissipated by 0600 UTC 1 October. Narda strengthened from a tropical storm on 21 September to a hurricane by 23 September, reached peak intensity on 24 September, and then gradually weakened while remaining well offshore. There were no landfalls associated with Narda. The system stayed over open water for its entire life and no coastal watches or warnings were issued. Narda’s maximum sustained winds peaked at 90 knots (105 mph) at 0600 and 1200 UTC 24 September, with a minimum central pressure of 970 mb. At peak it was a Category 2 hurricane on the Saffir‑Simpson scale. Because Narda remained far from land, the report lists no storm surge measurements or significant rainfall totals tied to coastal locations; there were no ship reports of tropical‑storm‑force winds. No coastal tide or river flooding associated with Narda was reported. There were no reports of damage or casualties—no direct or indirect deaths—and no coastal impacts recorded. Regions closest to the storm remained unaffected due to its offshore track. Noteworthy items include that Narda formed somewhat earlier than anticipated relative to the Tropical Weather Outlooks (the disturbance was introduced less than three days before formation) and that NHC track and intensity forecasts generally had lower-than-average errors for this storm. After the peak, some forecasts predicted re‑intensification that did not occur, producing a brief high bias in intensity forecasts.
