About Hurricane Daniel (2006) in brief
Hurricane Daniel was the second strongest hurricane of the 2006 Pacific hurricane season. It originated on July 16 from a tropical wave off the coast of Mexico. Daniel was forecast to pass through the Hawaiian Islands as a tropical storm as water temperatures near the islands were warmer and wind shear was expected to be minimal. However, Daniel’s remnants dissipated southeast of Hawaii. The storm brought light to moderate precipitation to the Island of Hawaii and Maui, causing minor flooding, although no major damage or fatalities were reported. Daniel gradually weakened as it entered an area of cooler water temperatures and increased wind Shear, and after crossing into the Central Pacific Ocean, it quickly degenerated into a remnant low-pressure area on July 26, before dissipating two days later.
It is estimated that the cyclone intensified into Tropical Storm Daniel at 12: 00 UTC on July 17. It maintained peak winds of 150 mph for about 18 hours, and Daniel began a weakening trend as it crossed into an area of progressively cooler water temperatures. The remnant low continued west-northwestward, dissipating on July 27: 00:00 UTC. When Hurricane Daniel dissipated on July 28, Hawaii County officials recommended residents prepare hurricane kits, and suggested purchasing non-perishable foods.
