Tropical cyclones in 2001
During 2001, tropical cyclones formed in seven different areas called basins, located within various parts of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. A total of 119 tropical cyclones formed within bodies of water known as tropical cyclone basins, with 84 of them were further named by the responsible weather agencies when they attained maximum sustained winds of 35 knots (65 km/h; 40 mph). Typhoon Faxai is the strongest tropical cyclone throughout the year, peaking with a pressure of 915 hPa (27.02 inHg) and attaining 10-minute sustained winds of 195 km/h (120 mph).

Global atmospheric and hydrological conditions
La Niña is a weather pattern that occurs every few years, as a result of complex variations on the ocean temperatures in the equatorial band of the Pacific Ocean.[1] The 1998 - 2001 La Nina persisted through early 2001, which made the waters of Pacific Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean warmer than normal.
