Before the Satellite age started in the 1960s, data on east Pacific hurricanes is extremely unreliable. For many years, there are no reported cyclones, although many systems certainly formed. 1900 PACIFIC HURRICANE SEASON There are no known tropical cyclones. 1901 PACIFIC HURRICANE SEASON There are no known tropical cyclones. 1902 PACIFIC HURRICANE SEASON A tropical cyclone made landfall on the southern portion of Baja California in the middle of July. It moved northward and dissipated. The remnants produced 1 to 2 inches of rain over southern California on July 20 and 21. This storm occurred during the strong El Niño of 1901-1902. On December 23 , a storm formed 40 miles to the southwest of Lanai , Hawaii . Possibly a Kona, or Subtropical Storm , it moved northwestward and strengthened. After approaching the International Date Line , it turned to the northeast, and dissipated in the Bering Sea on January 2 , 1903 . It is unknown if the storm was tropical, but based on its track it had some tropical characteristics. Upon moving through the Hawaiian islands, the storm was disorganized, and caused no reported damage or unusual weather on the islands. The storm is known as the Froc Cyclone, named after Rev. Louis Froc, the Director of the Ziwakei Observatory in Shanghai who discovered the storm. 1903 PACIFIC HURRICANE SEASON Aside from the previous storm, there are no known tropical cyclones. 1904 PACIFIC HURRICANE SEASON A tropical storm was first observed 250 miles southwest of Honolulu, Hawaii on November 26 . It tracked to the northwest, then turned to the northeast. The storm weakened over the cold northern Pacific waters, and dissipated on December 4 to the south of Sitka, Alaska . The storm caused no reported damage. This storm is known as the Zikawei Cyclone, named after the Zikawei Observatory which recorded the storm. On December 23 a tropical storm formed 230 miles south-southwest of South Point, Hawaii . It moved to the west-northwest, and after crossing the date line it turned to the northeast, dissipating on the 30th. The storm is known as the Hurd Cyclone. 1905 PACIFIC HURRICANE SEASON There are no known tropical cyclones. 1906 PACIFIC HURRICANE SEASON A tropical storm formed on May 3 well to the southeast of the Big Island , and moved west-northwestward. It passed to the south of Hawaii, and after crossing the date line, it turned to the northeast. The storm dissipated in the Bering Sea on the 10th. This is an extremely rare May central Pacific tropical cyclone, a time of year typically storm-free. This storm is known as the Gauthier Cyclone. In the middle of August, a tropical cyclone moved north-northwestward through the Gulf of California. It entered southern California on August 18 , generating up to 5 inches of rain. On October 2 , a tropical storm was first observed 120 miles southeast of Hilo, Hawaii . It moved to the northeast, and struck the southern tip of Niihau before turning northward. After passing through the islands, it turned to the northeast, and dissipated in the Bering Sea on October 9 . The storm, known as the Makawao Cyclone, caused torrential rainfall in Makawao, Hawaii, amounting to 12.7 inches. A tropical storm was first observed on November 6 90 miles south of Honolulu, Hawaii. It moved to the north-northwest, and passed through the Kauai channel. It turned to the northeast, and dissipated on the 13th to the west of British Columbia . The storm was extremely small and disorganized, and caused no known damage in Hawaii. 1907 PACIFIC HURRICANE SEASON There are no known tropical cyclones. 1908 PACIFIC HURRICANE SEASON A vortex, possibly a tropical cyclone, was first observed on October 17 to the northwest of Hawaii. It moved quickly northeastward, and dissipated the next day. 1909 PACIFIC HURRICANE SEASON There are no known tropical cyclones. 1910 PACIFIC HURRICANE SEASON The remnants of a tropical cyclone entered southern California on September 15 , bringing 2 inches of rain in Santa Barbara County . 1911 PACIFIC HURRICANE SEASON On September 29 , a ship reported strong winds and a pressure of 998 Mbar inside a storm to the east of Hawaii. There were no other reports of this possible tropical cyclone. 1912 PACIFIC HURRICANE SEASON There are no known tropical cyclones. 1913 PACIFIC HURRICANE SEASON There are no known tropical cyclones. 1914 PACIFIC HURRICANE SEASON There are no known tropical cyclones. 1915 PACIFIC HURRICANE SEASON During the strong El Niño of 1914-1915, a tropical cyclone hit northern Baja California in late August. Its remnants entered California on August 26 , bringing light rains amounting to 1 inch. 1916 PACIFIC HURRICANE SEASON There are no known tropical cyclones. 1917 PACIFIC HURRICANE SEASON There are no known tropical cyclones. 1918 PACIFIC HURRICANE SEASON In mid-September, a tropical cyclone moved north-northwest off the coast of Baja California. It produced light rains in Southern California, but when it reached Northern California on September 1 , it brought heavy precipitation amouting to 7 inches. 1919 PACIFIC HURRICANE SEASON There are no known tropical cyclones. 1920 PACIFIC HURRICANE SEASON There are no known tropical cyclones. 1921 PACIFIC HURRICANE SEASON After crossing central Baja California, a tropical cyclone moved northward into southwestern Arizona on August 20 , causing up to 2 inches of rain. The remnants of a tropical cyclone moved northeastward through Baja California and Arizona, producing up to 4 inches of rain in the desert region. Two possible tropical cyclones exited in the central Pacific during the month of October. The first developed on October 5 near Hawaii, and moved northward until being absorbed by an extratropical storm over the Aleutian Islands . The second was observed on October 17 well to the northeast of Hawaii. For both of these systems, it is unknown what, if any, tropical characteristics they had. It is possible they were Kona-type storms due to their locations. 1922 PACIFIC HURRICANE SEASON There are no known tropical cyclones. 1923 PACIFIC HURRICANE SEASON On August 23 , a small hurricane exited to the west of Hawaii, though due to lack of ship reports its track is unknown.
