List of Pacific hurricanes
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1e/Patricia_2015-10-23_1730Z.jpg/210px-Patricia_2015-10-23_1730Z.jpg)
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 scale, cyclogenesis outside of a normal hurricane season's timeframe, or storms that remain unnamed despite forming after tropical cyclone naming began in 1960. Another characteristic is how long a system lasted from formation to dissipation. These include the cost of damage, the number of casualties, as well as meteorological statistics such as rainfall point maximum, wind speed, and minimum pressure.

Retired names
The following names have been retired in the East Pacific (in chronological order): Hazel, Adele, Fico, Knut, Iva, Fefa, Ismael, Pauline, Adolph, Israel, Kenna, Alma, Manuel, Odile, Isis, Patricia,[1] Dora, and Otis.[2]
In addition, the following names have been retired in the Central Pacific (in chronological order): Iwa, Iniki, Paka, and Ioke.[1]
From the lists above, the names Hazel and Adele were retired for unclear reasons.[3] Also, the names Adolph, Israel, and Isis were retired because of political considerations.[1] In particular, the name Isis was pre-emptively removed in 2015 from the list of names for 2016 after being deemed inappropriate because of the eponymous militant group.[4]

Seasonal activity and records
In the Central Pacific Hurricane Center's (CPHC) area of responsibility (AOR), the season with the most tropical cyclones is the 2015 season with 16 cyclones forming in or entering the region. A season without cyclones has happened a few times since 1966, most recently in 1979.[45]

Before 1971 and especially 1966, data in this basin is extremely unreliable. The geostationary satellite era began in 1966,[46] and that year is often considered the first year of reliable tropical records.[47] 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.[47] 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.[48] 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.[49]
Named storms per month

Specific seasonal data in the Eastern Pacific basin was first compiled in 1949.[50] Therefore, seasons before 1949 are excluded from the "Most named" column.
Also, before 1971 and especially 1966, data in this basin is extremely unreliable. The geostationary satellite era began in 1966,[46] and that year is often considered the first year of reliable tropical records.[47] 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.[47] For these reasons, seasons before 1971 are not included in the "Least named" column.

Unnamed storms
Tropical cyclones have received official names in the Eastern and Central Pacific beginning in 1960. Since then, 6 tropical storms or hurricanes have formed that did not receive a storm name. (Note: The "2006 Central Pacific cyclone" is excluded, as its status has never been officially determined.)
- Tropical Storm 4 (1962)
- Tropical Storm 8 (1962)
- Tropical Storm Four (1963)
- "1975 Pacific Northwest hurricane"
- Unnamed tropical storm (1996)
- Unnamed tropical storm (2020)
Strength
Category 5
Since 1959, 20 Pacific hurricanes have attained Category 5 intensity. The only one to make landfall while at this intensity was Otis in 2023.[50]
Category 4
Since 1900, 141 Pacific hurricanes have attained Category 4 intensity, of which five made landfall at that strength.[50]
Category 3
Since 1970, 86 Pacific hurricanes have attained Category 3 intensity, of which three made landfall at that strength.[50]
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, while including Dora's time in the west Pacific would mean that it existed for 18 days.[50] One Atlantic hurricane, Hurricane Joan, crossed into this basin and was renamed Miriam,[64] giving it a total lifespan of 22 days,[65] but not all of that was in the Pacific. 1993's Greg formed from the remnants of Tropical Storm Bret (1993).[64] 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.[50]
No known tropical cyclone forming in the central north Pacific lasted for longer than 14 days without crossing into another basin.[50] The tropical cyclone forming in the central Pacific that spent the most time there was Hurricane Ana (2014) at 12.75 days from formation to extratropical transition.[66][67]

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. However, in 2000 this policy was changed so that a tropical cyclone will keep its name if it remains a tropical cyclone during the entire passage. Only if it dissipates and then re-forms does it get renamed.[82]

Tropical cyclones crossing from the western Pacific to the central Pacific are fairly rare, and this has happened only ten times. Of those ten times, six of them were storms which crossed the dateline twice; from the western to the central pacific and back (or vice versa). No tropical cyclone from the western Pacific has ever traveled east of 140°W.

In addition to these, an unofficial cyclone formed on October 30, 2006 in the central Pacific subtropics. It eventually developed an eye-like structure.[109] Its track data indicates that it crossed from the central to the east Pacific because it formed at longitude 149°W and dissipated at 135°W.[110] NASA, which is not a meteorological organization, called this system a subtropical cyclone, and the Naval Research Laboratory Monterey had enough interest in it to call it 91C.[109] The system has also been called extratropical.[111] This cyclone is unofficial because it is not included in the seasonal reports of either Regional Specialized Meteorological Center.[112][113]

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.
