2016 WMHB Pacific hurricane season (Cooper)

The 2016 Pacific hurricane season was a very active Pacific hurricane season. The season officially started on May 15, 2016 in the eastern Pacific, and on June 1, 2016 in the central Pacific, while the season ended in both basins on November 30, 2016. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Pacific basin. However, the formation of tropical cyclones is possible at any time of the year, as shown by the formation of Hurricane One-C on January 7, which was the earliest tropical cyclone to form in the Central Pacific on record.

Storm names
The following list of names was used for named storms that formed in the Northeastern Pacific in 2016. The names not retired from this list will be used again in the 2022 season. This was the same list used in the 2010 season, with the exception of the name Ivette, which replaced Isis, and was used for the first time this year.

Retirement
On March 26, 2017, at the 39th session of the RA IV hurricane committee, the World Meteorological Organization retired the name Paine from its rotating name lists due to the amount of damage and deaths it caused, and it will not be used again for another Atlantic hurricane. Paine was replaced with Percy for the 2022 season.
