The 2024 Pacific hurricane season was a somewhat inactive season that saw 15 tropical cyclones develop overall, of which 14 became named storms.{{#tag:ref|The total includes an October tropical cyclone upgraded to tropical storm in the post-season, which remained unnamed.|group="nb"}} Among them, 5 developed into hurricanes, of which 3 intensified into major hurricanes. The season officially began on May 15 in the eastern Pacific basin (east of 140°W) and on June 1 in the central Pacific (between 140°W and the International Date Line); both ended on November 30. These dates, adopted by convention, historically describe the period in each year when most subtropical or tropical cyclogenesis occurs in these regions of the Pacific Ocean.{{cite web|title=Hurricanes Frequently Asked Questions|date=June 1, 2023|url=https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd-faq/#hurricane-season|publisher=NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory|location=Miami, Florida|access-date=December 19, 2023}} For the third consecutive year, there were no pre-season tropical cyclones in either basin, and the season got off to the slowest start of any Pacific hurricane season on record in the satellite era, {{cite web|last1=Masters|first1=Jeff|last2=Henson|first2=Bob|title=Hurricane Beryl weakens, spares the Cayman Islands|date=July 4, 2024|url=https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2024/07/hurricane-beryl-weakens-spares-the-cayman-islands/|publisher=Yale Climate Connections|location=New Haven, Connecticut|access-date=July 5, 2024}} with the first eastern Pacific tropical storm, Aletta, not forming until July 4. The first, and only, central Pacific tropical storm, Hone, formed on August 22, becoming the first named storm to develop in the basin since 2019.{{cite news|last=Schenfeld|first=Nikki|title=Hawaii County preps for winds, heavy rain this weekend|url=https://www.khon2.com/local-news/hawaii-county-preps-for-winds-heavy-rain-this-weekend/|date=August 22, 2024|publisher=KHON-TV|location=Honolulu, Hawaii|access-date=August 23, 2024}} The final system of the season, Tropical Depression Fourteen{{nbh}}E, dissipated on November 7.

Several storms impacted land this year. Hurricane Hone dropped very heavy rainfall over the Big Island of Hawaii after passing just offshore at Category 1 strength. The remnants of Hurricane Gilma impacted the islands several days later, though neither cyclone caused significant damage. Tropical Storm Ileana grazed the coast of northwestern Mexico, resulting in flooding. Hurricane John made landfall on southern Mexico twice after rapidly intensifying to a Category 3 hurricane, causing 29 deaths and an estimated $2.45 billion in damage. The strongest storm of the season was Hurricane Kristy, which became the first Category 5 Pacific hurricane in a non-El Niño year since Celia in 2010.{{Cite web |date=October 24, 2024 |title=Hurricane Kristy becomes first Category 5 storm without El Niño since 2010 |url=https://www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weather/severe/weather-hurricane-kristy-becomes-first-category-5-storm-without-el-nino |access-date=October 27, 2024 |website=TheWeatherNetwork.com}}

In advance of each Pacific hurricane season, forecasts of hurricane activity are issued by the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s Climate Prediction Center and Mexico's Servicio Meteorológico Nacional (SMN). These include weekly and monthly changes in significant factors that help determine the number of tropical storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes within a particular year. According to NOAA, the average eastern Pacific hurricane season between 1991 and 2020 contained roughly 15 tropical storms, 8 hurricanes, 4 major hurricanes, with a near-normal accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) index between 80 and 115. Broadly speaking, ACE is a measure of the power of a tropical or subtropical storm multiplied by the length of time it existed. It is only calculated for full advisories on specific tropical and subtropical systems reaching or exceeding wind speeds of {{Cvt|39|mph}}. NOAA typically categorizes a season as above-average, average, or below-average based on the cumulative ACE index, but the number of tropical storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes within a hurricane season is sometimes also considered.

On May 6, 2024, SMN issued its forecast for the season, forecasting a total of 15–18 named storms developing, with 7–9 hurricanes, and 3–4 major hurricanes. On May 23, 2024, NOAA issued their outlook, calling for a below-normal season with 11–17 named storms overall, 4–9 hurricanes, 1–4 major hurricanes, and an ACE index of 50% to 110% of the median.

Officially, the 2024 Pacific hurricane season began on May 15 in the Eastern Pacific, on June 1 in the Central Pacific, and both ended on November 30. In all, fifteen tropical cyclones formed; fourteen became named storms, Five became hurricanes, and three of which intensified into major hurricanes. This season's ACE index was approximately 82 units.{{cite web| title=Real-Time Tropical Cyclone North Atlantic Ocean Statistics|url=http://tropical.atmos.colostate.edu/Realtime/|publisher=Colorado State University|location=Fort Collins, Colorado|access-date=August 10, 2024}} This number represents sum of the squares of the maximum sustained wind speed (knots) for all named storms while they are at least tropical storm intensity, divided by 10,000. Therefore, tropical depressions are not included.

The season began unusually quiet, with several weeks of inactivity throughout the basin. The first system, short-lived Tropical Storm Aletta formed on July 4, which made it the latest first named Pacific tropical cyclone to form in the satellite era. It was followed nearly three weeks later by Tropical Storm Bud, another short-lived storm that dissipated over the open Pacific. A week later on July 31, Hurricane Carlotta formed out of a low-pressure area, later developing into the first hurricane of the season. Three more storms formed in quick succession during the first week of August: Daniel, Emilia, and Fabio; all four storms were simultaneously active in the basin on August 5. After the last of these storms, Emilia, dissipated on August 9, the basin fell into another lull in activity. Tropical cyclogenesis resumed in late August with the formation of Hurricane Gilma on August 18.{{Cite report |url=https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2024/ep07/ep072024.discus.002.shtml? |title=Tropical Storm Gilma Discussion Number 2 |last=Cangialosi |first=John |date=August 18, 2024 |publisher=National Hurricane Center |location=Miami, Florida |access-date=August 18, 2024}} Gilma became the first major hurricane of the season on August 22. Hurricane Hone developed in the Central Pacific basin also on August 22, becoming the first tropical cyclone to form in that basin in five years. They were joined by Tropical Storm Hector on August 25 in the eastern Pacific proper.{{cite report|url=https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2024/ep08/ep082024.discus.001.shtml?|title=Tropical Storm Hector Discussion Number 1|last=Pasch|first=Richard|date=August 25, 2024|publisher=National Hurricane Center|location=Miami, Florida|language=en-US|access-date=August 25, 2024}} Hone would later move out of the basin into the Western Pacific. Hone and Gilma were the only Central Pacific tropical cyclones this year.{{cite news|title=Hurricane Season 2024 considered “Below Average” in the Central Pacific|last=Davis|first=Drew|date=November 28, 2024|url=https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2024/11/29/hurricane-season-2024-considered-below-average-central-pacific/|publisher=KHNL|location=Honolulu, Hawaii|access-date=November 30, 2024}}

A two-week break in activity came to an end when Tropical Storm Ileana formed on September 12. The storm grazed northwestern Mexico twice before dissipating.{{Cite web |title=Tropical Storm ILEANA |url=https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2024/ep09/ep092024.discus.007.shtml? |access-date=2024-09-14 |website=www.nhc.noaa.gov}}{{Cite web |title=Tropical Storm ILEANA |url=https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2024/ep09/ep092024.discus.010.shtml? |access-date=2024-09-15 |website=www.nhc.noaa.gov}} Hurricane John developed over a week later and rapidly intensified into the second major hurricane of the season prior to making landfall in southern Mexico.{{Cite report|title=Tropical Depression Ten-E Advisory Number 1|last=Reinhart|first=Brad|url=https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2024/ep10/ep102024.public.001.shtml?|date=September 22, 2024|publisher=National Hurricane Center|location=Miami, Florida|access-date=September 22, 2024}}{{Cite report |title=Hurricane John Update |url=https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2024/ep10/ep102024.update.09240322.shtml? |last=Papin |first=Philippe |date=September 23, 2024 |publisher=National Hurricane Center |location=Miami, Florida |access-date=September 23, 2024}} In late October, Hurricane Kristy formed off the coast of southern Mexico, in-part from the remnants of Atlantic basin Tropical Storm Nadine, and intensified to Category 5 strength out in the open ocean.{{cite magazine|title=Hurricane Kristy Strengthens Into Powerful Category 5 Storm|date=October 24, 2024|url=https://www.newsweek.com/hurricane-kristy-strengthens-powerful-category-5-storm-1974680|magazine=Newsweek|access-date=October 25, 2024}} It was the first Category 5 Pacific hurricane in a non-El Niño year since Celia in 2010.

A tropical wave that led to the formation of Atlantic Tropical Storm Chris approached Central America from June 27–28. The southern part of this wave interacted with the monsoon trough over the far eastern Pacific, and the combined feature, as well as increased convection over the area, led to formation of a low pressure area on July 3. The low organized into a tropical depression at 06:00 UTC on July 4. The system strengthened into a tropical storm six hours later and was named Aletta, the latest-forming first named storm in the East Pacific in the satellite era. Aletta simultaneously peaked in intensity as a minimal tropical storm, retaining its strength for twelve hours. Aletta eventually weakened back to a tropical depression the following day before degenerating into a remnant low by 00:00 UTC on July 6. The low subsequently dissipated later that day.{{cite report|author=Philippe Papin|title=National Hurricane Center Tropical Cyclone Report: Tropical Storm Aletta (EP012024)|url=https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP012024_Aletta.pdf|publisher=National Hurricane Center|location=Miami, Florida, United States|language=en-US|date=August 23, 2024|access-date=September 6, 2024}}

A tropical wave left the coast of Africa on July 10. The wave approached Central America over a week later, interacting with the Eastern Pacific monsoon trough. The combined disturbance continued westward, and began to organize its shower and thunderstorm activity on July 23 to the southwest of Mexico. The system eventually organized into a tropical depression at 12:00 UTC on July 24, about 400 nautical miles south of Cabo San Lucas.{{cite report|author=John P.

A fast-moving tropical wave left the coast of Africa on July 18. The wave crossed Central America just over a week later, entering the Eastern Pacific and spawning an area of low pressure. The disturbance developed sufficiently organized deep convection to become a tropical depression at 12:00 UTC on July 31, several hundred miles southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico.{{cite report|author=Eric Blake|title=National Hurricane Center Tropical Cyclone Report: Hurricane Carlotta (EP032024)|url=https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP032024_Carlotta.pdf|publisher=National Hurricane Center|location=Miami, Florida, United States|language=en-US|date=November 19, 2024|access-date=November 20, 2024}} Favorable environmental conditions allowed the depression to intensify into Tropical Storm Carlotta six hours later.{{Cite report |url=https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2024/ep03/ep032024.discus.002.shtml? |title=Tropical Storm Carlotta Discussion Number 2 |date=July 31, 2024 |publisher=National Hurricane Center |location=Miami, Florida |access-date=July 31, 2024}} Carlotta steadily became better organized over the following days.

Late on November 5, showers and thunderstorms associated with a well-defined low pressure system southwest of the southwestern coast of Mexico began showing signs of tropical development. Deep convection formed over the low-level circulation and persistent cold cloud tops developed.{{Cite report|title=Tropical Depression Fourteen-E Discussion Number 1|last=Bucci|first=Lisa|url=https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2024/ep14/ep142024.discus.001.shtml?|date=November 6, 2024|publisher=National Hurricane Center|location=Miami, Florida|access-date=November 6, 2024}} Then, the following morning, Tropical Depression Fourteen{{nbh}}E developed about {{cvt|490|mi|km|round=10}} west-southwest of Acapulco, Guerrero.{{Cite report|title=Tropical Depression Fourteen-E Advisory Number 1|last=Bucci|first=Lisa|url=https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2024/ep14/ep142024.public.001.shtml?|date=November 6, 2024|publisher=National Hurricane Center|location=Miami, Florida|access-date=November 6, 2024}} It did not maintain a well-defined circulation for long however, and the depression degenerated to an open trough early on November 7.{{Cite report|title=Remnants Of Fourteen-E Discussion Number 6|last=Bucci|first=Lisa|url=https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2024/ep14/ep142024.public.006.shtml?|date=November 7, 2024|publisher=National Hurricane Center|location=Miami, Florida|access-date=November 7, 2024}}

For storms that form in the North Pacific from 140°W to the International Date Line, the names come from a series of four rotating lists. Names are used one after the other without regard to year, and when the bottom of one list is reached, the next named storm receives the name at the top of the next list. One named storm, listed below, formed within the area in 2024. Named storms in the table above that crossed into the area during the season are noted (*).

{{See also|List of retired Pacific hurricane names}}

On April 2, 2025, during the 47th Session of the RA IV Hurricane Committee, the World Meteorological Organization retired the name John from its rotating name lists due to the severity of the damage and number of deaths the storm caused, and it will not be used again in the Eastern Pacific basin. The name was replaced with Jake, which will first appear on the 2030 season list.{{Cite news|date=April 2, 2025|title=WMO Hurricane Committee retires names of Beryl, Helene, Milton and John|url=https://wmo.int/media/news/wmo-hurricane-committee-retires-names-of-beryl-helene-milton-and-john|author=World Meteorological Organization|access-date=April 2, 2025}}

Season effects

This is a table of all of the storms that formed in the 2024 Pacific hurricane season. It includes their name, duration, peak classification and intensities, areas affected, damage, and death totals. Deaths in parentheses are additional and indirect (an example of an indirect death would be a traffic accident), but were still related to that storm. Damage and deaths include totals while the storm was extratropical, a wave, or a low, and all of the damage figures are in 2024 USD.
