Sunday, October 30, 2022 · 6:00 PM – 6:00 AM

Hurricane Lisa was a strong tropical cyclone that caused extensive and destructive flooding across Belize and other parts of northern Central America in November 2022. Lisa was the fourteenth tropical cyclone, twelfth named storm and sixth hurricane of the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season. The cyclone developed from a tropical wave that entered the Caribbean Sea on October 25. The wave spawned a broad low-pressure area on October 28, which gradually consolidated into a tropical storm on October 31, and received the name Lisa. Lisa gradually intensified as it continued west-northwestward across the Caribbean, becoming a hurricane on November 2 over the inlet Gulf of Honduras. Lisa achieved peak intensity late that day as a strong Category 1 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 90 mph (140 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 985 mbar (29.1 inHg), while making landfall near the mouth of the Sibun River in Belize. Lisa quickly deteriorated as it crossed the Yucatán Peninsula, weakening to a tropical storm early on November 3, and further to a tropical depression by 12:00 UTC that day. Tropical Depression Lisa emerged over the Bay of Campeche, where it failed to reorganize and opened up into a trough on November 5. Category 1 hurricane: peak winds of 90 mph (80 knots), lowest pressure 985 mb. October 30 – November 5, 2022. Landfall: November 2 at 90 mph, 17.4°N 88.3°W. Accumulated cyclone energy: 3.4.
