1925-1949 Pacific hurricane seasons
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1925-1949 Pacific hurricane seasons all began on May 15, 1925-49 in the northeast Pacific Ocean and on June 1, 1925-49 in the central Pacific. They ended on November 30, 1925-49. These dates conventionally delimit the time of year when most tropical cyclones form in northeast Pacific Ocean.
Before the satellite age started in the 1960s, data on east Pacific hurricanes is extremely unreliable. For many years, there are no reported cyclones although many systems certainly formed.
