I came across this while browsing:

http://weather.unisys.com/hurricane/e_pacific/1975/track.gif

Obviously one of these hurricanes stands out like a sore thumb! I've never seen one in this location before. Does anybody have any info on this? I couldn't find anything else on it.

Very strange! It seems like the SST's would be way too cold for where it was. Plus it didn't get a name, only a number... :?:

Notice how cold the water is above 30N..Above 40N REAL Cold

Early Subtropical most likely.

IF you look further in the 1975 directory, you find:

and:

I don't remember that storm, but it looks like some type of subtropical storm. Notice it wasn't given a name, so this was a post-season upgrade.

After much digging, I found this on the Central Pacific tropical cyclone archives:

Seems like a unique event.

That seems almost impossible.....at least for a "tropical" system.
I know from experience that the water temps in extreme northern California and Oregon are below 60° in July --

Quite an interesting read of this ... I have noticed this standout storm of whatever nature and thought it was very odd as well ... but basing on the reports, it would appear that it was mostly tropical nature at one point, possibly an unusually strong heat ridge occurring at the end of August/early September, but IMO, this is the strangest EPAC/CPAC storm and track we'll ever see ...For obvious reasons, I would LOVE to see more information on this.

CPHC wrote:The first known documented case history of a mid-Pacific upper tropospheric low which developed into a surface system that rapidly attained tropical character north of 30 latitude constitutes the only item on record which might be ascribed to tropical cyclone activity during 1975 in the Central North Pacific. (see more)
Other than that particular occurrence there were no tropical cyclones reported in this area. A sharp decrease in tropical cyclone activity in the Western North Pacific was seen in 1975.

A fluke like this storm, reminds me a lot of the South Atlantic Tropical Storm of 1991 where tropical storms don't form. (Though different with obviously SST's being sufficiently warm enough, just 99.9% never the right breeding conditions for a TC in the South Atlantic.)
