Impact and Records
No tropical cyclone warnings or watches were issued in relation to Sergio. Several storm advisories indicated a slight threat to coastal regions of Mexico; the National Hurricane Center assessed a 29% probability of tropical storm-force winds affecting Barra de Navidad in Jalisco. From November 16 and 17, the outer rainbands of the hurricane dropped light precipitation along the Mexican coastline, peaking at 1.97 inches (50 mm) at Tierra Colorada in Guerrero.
Sergio contributed to November 2006 being the most active November since Pacific hurricane records began, based on using the accumulated cyclone energy index. After Rosa formed a few days before Sergio, November 2006 became the first since 1966 to have more than one storm in the month. The hurricane is currently the second strongest in the month, as well as the longest-lasting.
