The
1977 Pacific hurricane season
officially started
May 15
,
1977
in the eastern Pacific, and
June 1
,
1977
in the central Pacific, and lasted until
November 30
,
1977
. These dates start and end the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northeast
Pacific Ocean
. The season was very inactive.
This season had a record low level of activity. Only eight tropical storms formed, and four hurricanes. No major hurricanes formed. The next time this happened was during the
2003 season
. Also, there was just one cyclogenesis in each of May, June, July, August, and October, which is also low. Activity in the central Pacific was zero, as no storms formed there nor moved in from the east. Strangely enough it was also not very active in the Eastern Pacific or the
Atlantic
.
