The present work studies the relation between the exist of anomaly weather conditions and the formation of hurricane Chapala. NCEP/NCAR reanalysis daily data composites for the meteorological parameters has used. The anomaly and correlation coefficients techniques have been used. The results revealed that a positive extreme of sea surface temperature, surface air temperature and meridional wind over the Indian ocean existed during the duration of the hurricane Chapala. Meanwhile, an extremely negative of the stream function and outgoing longwave radiation has been exist. Moreover, there is a significant correlation coefficient between anomaly of the stream function, sea level pressure and wind over the Indian Ocean and the strong wind of hurricane Chapala. Through the period of study (28 October-3 November 2015) the extreme weather conditions over the Indian ocean create of hurricane Chapala over the Arabian Sea.
