1992 WMHB Pacific hurricane season (Cooper)

The 1992 Pacific hurricane season was, at the time, the most active Pacific hurricane season on record, with 28 named storms, 20 hurricanes, and 11 major hurricanes forming. he season officially began on May 15, 1990 in the eastern Pacific, and on June 1, 1990 in the central Pacific, while the season ended in both basins on November 30, 1990. These dates historically describe the period each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Pacific basin and are adopted by convention. However, tropical cyclogenesis is possible at any time of the year, as demonstrated by the formation of Hurricane Hali on January 28.

Storm names
The following list of names was used for named storms that formed in the Northeastern Pacific in 1992. The names not retired from this list were used again in the 1998 season. This was the same list used in the 1986 season. The names Seymour, Tina, Virgil, and Winifred were used for the first time this year.

Retirement
In the spring of 1993, at the 15th session of the RA IV hurricane committee, the World Meteorological Organization retired the names Roslyn, Xavier, and Yolanda from its rotating name lists due to the amount of damage and deaths they caused, and they will not be used again for another Pacific hurricane. They were replaced with Robyn, Xander, and Yunya for the 1998 season.
