Tropical Storm Vamei near the equator in December 2001

This is a list of all tropical cyclones that have existed between 3°N and 3°S, or within 180 nautical miles (210 mi; 330 km) of the equator. Tropical cyclones are relatively rare in these latitudes, particularly outside of the Northwestern Pacific. Despite this however, out of the seven official tropical cyclone basins, only the North Atlantic and South Pacific basins have never recorded a system in this area. The lack of storm formations in close proximity to the equator is primarily due to a weak Coriolis effect in the region, and only eighteen known storms have formed since records began.
