when is hurricane season in mexico pacific coast
2018 Pacific hurricane season The 2018 Pacific hurricane season is an ongoing event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation. The season officially began on May 15 in the eastern Pacific, and on June 1 in the central Pacific; they will both end on November 30.[1] These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Pacific basin, as illustrated when the first tropical depression formed on May 10. The first named storm of the season, Hurricane Aletta, formed on June 6. Hurricane Bud formed three days later and made landfall in Baja California Sur. Tropical Storm Carlotta stalled offshore the Mexican coastline causing minor damage. Hurricane Hector became the first tri-basin crosser since 2014. In late August, Hurricane Lane became the first Category 5 Pacific hurricane since Patricia of 2015.
