The 2024 Pacific hurricane season is an ongoing event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation, in which tropical cyclones form in the eastern Pacific Ocean. It was below average, but not too inactive; the strongest storm was Emilia, a category 4 that made landfall in northern Baja California. Only one storm, Tropical Storm Ele, crossed over from the Pacific. The season officially started on May 15 in the East Pacific Ocean, and on June 1 in the Central Pacific; they both ended on November 30. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Pacific basin.
