Hurricane Daniel (2012)
- July 2012
- Category 3 peak
Daniel came within 439 km of Hawaii, passing to the south as post-tropical remnants on 14 July 2012. It had peaked far out at sea at 100 kt and was weakening as it neared the islands. Only 32 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.
