Hurricane Daniel (2006)
- July 2006
- Category 4 peak
Daniel came within 362 km of Hawaii, passing to the south-east as post-tropical remnants on 28 July 2006. It had peaked far out at sea at 130 kt and was weakening as it neared the islands. Only 40 official forecasts survive in the archive, all issued more than a day before the closest pass, so the replay stops early. Forecasts issued from Honolulu in this era were never written into the digital record.
