WEEKLY TROPICAL CYCLONE SUMMARY #34: MARCH 22 - 29, 1992
North Atlantic Basin: No tropical cyclones.
Eastern North Pacific Basin (E of 140 Deg. W): No tropical cyclones.
Central North Pacific Basin (180 Deg. W to 140 Deg. W):
Tropical Storm Hali: Tropical Depression 02C formed on 28 March near 5N
173W. Moving west and then west-northwest, the depression became Tropical
Storm Hali the next day. At the end of the summary period, Hali was moving
west-northwest with 45 kt winds.
Western North Pacific Basin (W of 180 Deg. W): No tropical cyclones.
North Indian Ocean Basin: No tropical cyclones.
South Indian Ocean Basin (W of 135 Deg. E): No tropical cyclones.
South Pacific Ocean Basin (E of 135 Deg. E):
Tropical Cyclone Hettie (TC-27P): A tropical depression formed near 14S
149W on 25 March. Moving south-southwest, it reached tropical storm inten-
sity later that day. Hettie turned east-southeast on 26 March and southeast
on 27 March as it reached a peak intensity of 50 kt. Hettie continued
southeast and became extratropical near 26S 139W on 28 March. Although
Hettie passed near parts of the Tuamotu Archipelago, there are no reports
of damage or casualties at this time. While 50 kt is the highest wind from
any warning, Hettie apparently formed an eye for several hours on 27 March,
and it may have been stronger than 50 kt at its peak.
