2016 Pacific Hurricane Season (Nekaro)

The 2016 Pacific Hurricane Season was a well below average season that followed the record-breaking 2015 season. It featured just 10 named storms, 3 hurricanes, and 1 major hurricane that formed in the East Pacific basin. The Central Pacific also featured two tropical storms, neither one reaching hurricane intensity. Due to a strong La Nina event, wind shear shifted from the Atlantic to Pacific, greatly inhibiting the Pacific's development conditions. This season did not feature any storms making landfall at all, so no names were retired.

Hurricane Howard
Hurricane Howard was the strongest storm of the season. It peaked with winds of 115 mph and a minimum pressure of 956 millibars.
