1994 WMHB Pacific hurricane season (Cooper)

The 1994 Pacific hurricane season was the final season in the most recent positive Pacific Decadal Oscillation (+PDO) era. A very active season, it produced a total of 20 named storms, 11 hurricanes, and 6 major hurricanes. The season officially began on May 15, 1994 in the eastern Pacific, and on June 1, 1994 in the central Pacific, while the season ended in both basins on November 30, 1994. These dates historically describe the period each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Pacific basin and are adopted by convention.

The following list of names was used for named storms that formed in the Northeastern Pacific in 1994. The names not retired from this list were used again in the 2000 season. This was the same list used in the 1988 season, with the exception of Ileana, which replaced Iva, and was used for the first time this year.
