Tropical Storm Lidia (1981)

Tropical Storm Lidia was a short-lived tropical storm that formed in the eastern Pacific Ocean during the 1981 hurricane season. Lidia developed from a tropical disturbance south of Mexico on October 13, 1981. The storm moved generally northwestward and intensified, reaching its peak intensity as a tropical storm with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 998 mbar.

Lidia maintained this intensity for only a short period before encountering cooler waters and increasing wind shear. These factors led to a weakening trend, and Lidia degenerated into a tropical depression on October 14, 1981. The remnants of Lidia continued to drift northwestward for a couple of days before dissipating entirely on October 16, 1981.

Due to its short lifespan and the fact that it remained well offshore, Tropical Storm Lidia did not cause any significant damage or loss of life. No watches or warnings were issued in association with the storm. Lidia's impact was minimal and it is primarily remembered as a relatively weak and short-lived tropical cyclone.
