List of Pacific hurricanes

This is a list of notable Pacific hurricanes, subdivided by reason for notability. Notability means that it has met some criterion or achieved some statistic, or is part of a top ten for some superlative. It includes lists and rankings of Pacific hurricanes by different characteristics and impacts.

Characteristics include extremes of location, such as the northernmost or most equator-ward formation or position of a tropical cyclone. Other characteristics include its central pressure, windspeed, Category on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, or cyclogenesis outside of a normal hurricane season's timeframe. Another characteristic is how long a system went from formation to dissipation. Impacts are what the cyclone did. These include the cost of damage, the number of casualties, as well as meteorological statistics such as rainfall point maxima.

Impact

Retired names

Additionally, Adolph and Israel were removed from the list of names during and after the 2001 season due to political sensitivities. Knut was removed from the list in 1988 for unknown reasons. Adele, Iva, and Fefa were also removed in 1970, 1988, and 1991 respectively for unknown reasons. Hazel was replaced in 1965.[1]

Tropical Storm Lidia and Hurricane Norma hit Mexico within a week of each other in 1981. Conflated together, they caused $84 million (1981 USD) in damage. Hence it is possible that Lidia is on the list if it caused most of that damage total.[26] Hurricane Norma is definitely on the most-damaging list since its remnants caused $50 million in damage in Texas.[27]

Seasonal activity and records

In the Central Pacific Hurricane Center's (CPHC) area of responsibility (AOR), the seasons with the most tropical cyclones are 1992 and 1994, each with 11 cyclones. A season without cyclones has happened a few times since 1966, most recently in 1979.[33]

Lowest

Before 1971 and especially 1966, data in this basin is extremely unreliable. The geostationary satellite era began in 1966,[34] and that year is often considered the first year of reliable tropical records.[35] Intensity estimates are most reliable starting in the 1971 season. A few years later, the Dvorak technique came into use. Those two factors make intensity estimates more reliable starting in that year.[35] For these reasons, seasons prior to 1971 are not included.

Naming history

Naming of tropical cyclones in the eastern north Pacific began in the 1960 season. That year, four lists of names were created. The plan was to proceed in a manner similar to that of the western Pacific; that is, the name of the first storm in one season would be the next unused one from the same list, and when the bottom of one list was reached the next list was started. This scheme was abandoned in 1965 and next year, the lists started being recycled on a four-year rotation, starting with the A name each year.[36] That same general scheme remains in use today, although the names and lists are different. On average, the eastern north Pacific sees about sixteen named storms per year.[37]

Named storms per month

Before 1971 and especially 1966, data in this basin is extremely unreliable. The geostationary satellite era began in 1966,[34] and that year is often considered the first year of reliable tropical records.[35] Intensity estimates are more reliable starting in the 1971 season. A few years later, the Dvorak technique came into use. Those two make intensity estimates more reliable starting in that year.[35] For these reasons, seasons before 1971 are not included in the lowest column.

Off-season storms

Hurricane season runs from May 15 to November 30.[39] Only systems that formed off-season in this basin are included.

Strength

Category 5

Since 1959, only 14 Pacific hurricanes are known to have reached Category 5 and only one made landfall while at this intensity.[38]

Category 4

Since 1900, 95 Pacific hurricanes have attained Category 4 intensity, of which four made landfall at that strength.[38]

Duration records

This lists all Pacific hurricanes that existed as tropical cyclones while in the Pacific Ocean east of the dateline for more than two weeks continuously. Hurricanes John and Dora spent some time in the west Pacific before dissipating. John spent eleven days west of the dateline; if that time was included John would have existed for a total of 30 days and 18 hours, a world record, while including Dora's time in the west Pacific would mean that it existed for exactly 18 days.[44] One Atlantic hurricane, Hurricane Joan, crossed into this basin and was renamed Miriam,[47] giving it a total lifespan of 22 days,[48] but not all of that was in the Pacific. 1993's Greg formed from the remnants of 1993's Tropical Storm Bret.[47] Its time as an Atlantic system is excluded.

All of these systems except Trudy, Olaf, and Connie existed in both the east and central Pacific, and all except Olaf were hurricanes. Hurricane Trudy of 1990 is thus the longest lived eastern Pacific hurricane to stay in the eastern Pacific. Tropical Storm Olaf of 1997 is hence the longest-lived eastern Pacific tropical cyclone not to reach hurricane intensity.[44]

No known tropical cyclone forming in the central north Pacific lasted for longer than 14 days without crossing into another basin.[44] The tropical cyclone forming in the central Pacific that spent the most time there was 1988's Hurricane Uleki at 11.5 days from formation to crossing the dateline.[49]

Before the weather satellite era began, the lifespans of many Pacific hurricanes may be underestimated.[35]

Crossover storms from Eastern Pacific to Atlantic

This includes only systems which stayed a tropical cyclone during the passage or that maintained a circulation during the crossover.

1902 Unnamed tropical depression Unnamed[51]

1949 Unnamed Unnamed[47]
1961 Simone Inga (see below)[53]
1965 Unnamed tropical depression Unnamed[54]
1989 Cosme Allison[47]

In addition to those, there are apparently two additional ones. One existed before 1856 and made it to the Gulf of Mexico.[55] Another Pacific tropical cyclone crossed over central Mexico and also made it to the Gulf sometime after September 9, 1924.[55]

With reanalysis, doubt has arisen over whether Tropical Storm Simone, the renamed Hurricane Hattie, recrossed the North American continent and actually became Tropical Storm Inga.[53]

It used to be that when a Pacific named storm crossed North America and made it to the Atlantic (or vice versa), it would receive the next name on the respective basin's list. This policy has since been changed to a tropical cyclone keeping its name if it remains a tropical cyclone during the entire passage. Only if it dissipates and then re-forms does it get renamed.[56]

Crossover storms from Eastern Pacific to Western Pacific

Neither eastern Pacific tropical cyclones passing 140°W, nor central Pacific tropical cyclones crossing the Dateline are notable events, However, very few eastern Pacific proper cyclones that enter the central Pacific make it to the dateline.

Intensity records

Ten most intense

The apparent increase in recent seasons is spurious; it is due to better estimation and measurement, not an increase in intense storms. That is, until 1988, Pacific hurricanes generally did not have their central pressures measured or estimated from satellite imagery.
