The 1996 Pacific hurricane season saw a record-four Pacific hurricanes strike Mexico. It officially began May 15, 1996 in the eastern north Pacific and on June 1, 1996 in the central north Pacific. It ended on November 30, 1996. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northeastern Pacific Ocean. The season slightly exceeded these bounds when tropical storm One-E formed on May 13. Few storms formed this season, but it was very eventful. Twelve tropical cyclones formed during this season, of which five made landfall and two other impacted land areas. Two tropical cyclones that formed in other basins entered the eastern north Pacific Ocean. Early in the season three tropical cyclones impacted Mexico in a ten-day span, while the first cyclone of the season formed before it officially began. Hurricane Douglas was the strongest storm, reaching Category 4 intensity on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale and had its beginnings in the Atlantic as Hurricane Cesar. ==Season summary== ImageSize = width:815 height:200 PlotArea = top:10 bottom:80 right:20 left:20 Legend = columns:3 left:30 top:58 columnwidth:270 AlignBars = early DateFormat = dd/mm/yyyy Period = from:01/05/1996 till:01/12/1996 TimeAxis = orientation:horizontal ScaleMinor = grid:black unit:month increment:1 start:01/05/1996 Colors = id:canvas value:gray(0.88) id:GP value:red id:TD value:rgb(0.38,0.73,1) legend:Tropical_Depression_=_<39_mph_(0–62_km/h)_(TD) id:TS value:rgb(0,0.98,0.96) legend:Tropical_Storm_=_39–73_mph_(63–117 km/h)_(TS) id:C1 value:rgb(1,1,0.80) legend:Category_1_=_74–95_mph_(118–153_km/h)_(C1) id:C2 value:rgb(1,0.91,0.46) legend:Category_2_=_96–110_mph_(154–177_km/h)_(C2) id:C3 value:rgb(1,0.76,0.25) legend:Category_3_=_111–130_mph_(178–209_km/h)_(C3) id:C4 value:rgb(1,0.56,0.13) legend:Category_4_=_131–155_mph_(210–249_km/h)_(C4) id:C5 value:rgb(1,0.38,0.38) legend:Category_5_=_≥156_mph_(≥250_km/h)_(C5) Backgroundcolors = canvas:canvas BarData = barset:Hurricane bar:Month PlotData= barset:Hurricane width:10 align:left fontsize:S shift:(4,-4) anchor:till from:13/05/1996 till:16/05/1996 color:TS text:"One-E" from:15/05/1996 till:19/05/1996 color:TD text:"Two-E" from:20/06/1996 till:27/06/1996 color:C2 text:"Alma" from:27/06/1996 till:01/07/1996 color:C2 text:"Boris" from:01/07/1996 till:03/07/1996 color:TS text:"Cristina" from:04/07/1996 till:06/07/1996 color:TD text:"Six-E" from:29/07/1996 till:06/08/1996 color:C4 text:"Douglas" barset:break from:14/08/1996 till:15/08/1996 color:TD text:"Seventeen-W" from:30/08/1996 till:06/09/1996 color:TS text:"Elida" from:10/09/1996 till:14/09/1996 color:C3 text:"Fausto" from:15/09/1996 till:20/09/1996 color:TD text:"One-C" from:27/09/1996 till:09/10/1996 color:TS text:"Genevieve" from:30/09/1996 till:04/10/1996 color:C1 text:"Hernan" from:07/11/1996 till:11/11/1996 color:TD text:"Twelve-E" bar:Month width:5 align:center fontsize:S shift:(0,-20) anchor:middle color:canvas from:01/05/1996 till:01/06/1996 text:May from:01/06/1996 till:01/07/1996 text:June from:01/07/1996 till:01/08/1996 text:July from:01/08/1996 till:01/09/1996 text:August from:01/09/1996 till:01/10/1996 text:September from:01/10/1996 till:01/11/1996 text:October from:01/11/1996 till:01/12/1996 text:November TextData = pos:(570,30) text:"(From the" pos:(617,30) text:"Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale)" This hurricane season officially started on May 15, 1996 in the eastern Pacific, and on June 1, 1996 in the central Pacific, and lasted until November 30, 1996. These dates limit the time period when most tropical cyclones form in the northeastern Pacific Ocean. In actuality the season exceeded these limits slightly with the formation of Tropical Depression One-E on May 13 and ended on November 11 with the dissipation of Tropical Depression Twelve-E. This season was below average in activity. In the eastern north Pacific, eleven tropical cyclones formed. Of these, four became hurricanes, one of which were major hurricanes because they reached Category 3 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. The remainder were tropical storms. In addition, one Atlantic hurricane, Hurricane Cesar, crossed into this zone from the Atlantic Ocean and was renamed Douglas. None of the systems in the eastern north Pacific crossed 140°W and entered the central Pacific. The last time that happened was in the 1979 season. In the central north Pacific, one tropical depression formed. In addition, a depression crossed the dateline from the western Pacific before dissipating in this basin. None of these two systems reached tropical storm strength.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.prh.noaa.gov/cphc/summaries/1996.php )〕 In terms of the number of storms, the season was below average. Despite this, there were a large number of landfalls. Of note is the fact that three tropical cyclones approached close to, or made landfall on, Mexico during a ten-day span from June 23 to July 3. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1996 Pacific hurricane season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
