2021 Pacific hurricane season

The 2021 Pacific hurricane season is a future event in the annual tropical cyclone season in the northern hemisphere. The season will officially begin on May 15, 2021 in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, and on June 1, 2021 in the Central Pacific; both will end on November 30, 2021. These dates historically describe the period each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Pacific Ocean basin and are adopted by convention. However, the formation of tropical cyclones is possible at any time of the year.

Storm names
See also: Tropical cyclone naming § Eastern Pacific Ocean

The following names will be used for named storms that form in the northeastern Pacific Ocean during 2021. Retired names, if any, will be announced by the World Meteorological Organization during the joint 44th Sessions of the RA IV Hurricane Committee in the spring of 2022. The names not retired from this list will be used again in the 2027 season.[1] This is the same list used in the 2015 season, with the exception of the name Pamela, which replaced Patricia.
