2016 Pacific hurricane season (Bob/Hype)

The 2016 Pacific hurricane season was the least active Pacific hurricane season on record - featuring a record-low 7 named storms, 2 hurricanes, and 0 major hurricanes. The season opened fairly active with three depressions in June and two named storms in July, but a rapidly developing La Nina caused the season to end very early. The final storm, Tropical Storm Frank, dissipated on October 3. It was the first Pacific season with no major hurricanes since 2003.

An unusual occurrence for the season is the very low amount of hurricanes that formed, and that the strongest storm of the season - Pali - formed in January. Pali was operationally classified as a category 2, but was downgraded to a category 1 in post-analysis.
