The 2020 Pacific hurricane season was an above average season that produced approximately 18 named storms, with 11 of them becoming hurricanes, and 5 of them becoming major hurricanes. The season officially began on May 15, 2020, and ended on November 30, 2020. These dates historically describe the period each year when most tropical cyclones form in the East Pacific basin. The first system of the season, Amanda, formed on May 14, just prior to the official start of the hurricane season. while the final storm of the season, Rachel, dissipated on December 9, a few days after the end of the season.
