2010 North Ocean Hurricane Season

Moderate Cyclone Itia
Winds: 95 kts

Pressure: 971 mb

Weak Cyclone One formed on June 25. It was quickly named Itia by RSMC North Ridge. Itia took a northward turn away from the coast and became a moderate cyclone. Itia didn't take long to tie Arit in it's record for strongest winds, because by June 29, it peaked. Itia curved back and approached the Horizontal Coast as it weakened back to a weak cyclone. Itia made landfall as a weak cyclone on July 02, killing just 3 people with treacherous flooding.

Weak Cyclone Byerta
Winds: 45 kts

Pressure: 995 mb

A precursor disturbance formed due to influences from Itia, already occuring in the North Ocean. On June 26, it became Weak Cyclone Two. Like Itia, it didn't take long before it was named Byerta. On June 28, shear from Itia's outflow began to destroy Byerta, and Byerta became a "depression". During a break, Byerta restrengthened on June 29, only to become a remnant low the next day.

Weak Cyclone Phiol
Winds: 45 kts

Pressure: 999 mb

During the North Ocean's hot streak, Byerta's remnant disturbance escaped Itia's deadly shear. The disturbance became Weak Cyclone Three on July 01. For the third time in a row, it took a cyclone only 12 hours to be named. This time, it recieved Phiol. Phiol peaked at 45 knots, and held strength for a day, before weakening and making landfall on July 03.

Panamac Sea
Once a part of the North Ocean season, it was divided into it's own season, due to the fact that cyclones rarely cross the two basins, if ever. Due to the small amount of storms, the information on this wiki contains the few storms here, in the North Ocean article.

Weak Cyclone Asoip
Formed from a wave coming off the coast of the Gulf Peninsula. It reached 40 kt winds, before curving back, and making landfall as a Tropical Depression (Weak Cyclone) strength cyclone, shortly before dissipation.

Weak Cyclone Bykoran
Forming from Weak Cyclone Eleven in the Arc Gulf, it crossed 3 basins, making it's way to the North Ocean as well.
