About 1984 Pacific hurricane season
The 1984 Pacific hurricane season featured numerous tropical cyclones, several of which were impactful to land. It was a busy hurricane season with 21 named storms, 13 hurricanes, and 7 major hurricanes, the latter of which are Category 3 or stronger cyclones on the Saffir–Simpson scale. The season also had an above-normal accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) rating of 193.7, despite the presence of a La Niña event, which typically results in less activity, and had the second-most storms for a La Niña year on record, largely due to average sea surface temperatures across the Eastern Pacific. Seasonal activity began on May 17 and ended on November 8. This lies within the confines of a traditional hurricane season which begins on May 15 in the East Pacific and June 1 in the Central Pacific, and ends on November 30 in both basins. These dates conventionally delimit the period during each year when most tropical cyclones form.
