STORM HISTORY
Track and intensity summary
Genevieve is listed in the Eastern Pacific basin for the 2026 season. Its archived track begins on 22 Jul 2026, 18:00 UTC at 7.6°N, 93.4°W. The first observation lists sustained winds of 20 knots. These dates describe the available observations, which may include stages before and after the tropical cyclone phase.
The first Category 5 observation appears on 27 Jul 2026, 06:00 UTC. The highest recorded tropical-stage one-minute sustained wind is 140 knots (161 mph / 259 km/h), first recorded on 27 Jul 2026, 06:00 UTC at 15.1°N, 111.7°W. The minimum recorded tropical-stage central pressure is 925 hPa on 27 Jul 2026, 06:00 UTC.
The full record spans 264 hours and approximately 5,290 kilometers along the recorded center positions. The last recorded position is 24.6°N, 138.9°W on 2 Aug 2026, 18:00 UTC. The final tropical-stage observation is earlier, on 2 Aug 2026, 15:00 UTC.
This summary is calculated from the NOAA IBTrACS archive. Category 5 describes the storm’s peak recorded wind intensity, not its intensity at landfall or the severity of impacts at any location. Landfall times, damage and casualties have not been independently reviewed for this page.
METHODOLOGY
Data sources and limitations
The map and summary are generated from NOAA’s IBTrACS v04r01 archive. Wind and category use US-agency records; minimum pressure is calculated during the tropical stage, with the archive’s pressure source retained. Category 5 refers to the Saffir–Simpson one-minute wind scale; local agencies may use different classifications. Coastlines use Natural Earth’s 1:10m land data.
Track distance adds great-circle distances between consecutive observations, excluding gaps over 12 hours. This track has no gaps over 12 hours. The line shows the storm’s center, not its size, rainfall or flood extent. Converted wind speeds are rounded to the nearest whole unit.
