2006 Pacific hurricane season

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 2006 Pacific hurricane season was the most active since 2000, which also produced 19 tropical storms or hurricanes.

Eighteen developed within the National Hurricane Center (NHC) area of warning responsibility, which is east of 140A(deg)W, and one storm formed between 140A(deg)W and the International Date Line, which is under the jurisdiction of the Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC).

Of the 19 total storms, eleven became hurricanes, of which six attained major hurricane status.

Within the NHC portion of the basin, the season officially began on May 15, and in the CPHC portion, it started on June 1; the season officially ended on November 30.

These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the eastern Pacific basin.
