1900s Pacific hurricane seasons
Wikimedia list article
The 1900s Pacific hurricane seasons all began on May 15 of their respective years in the Eastern North Pacific Ocean and on June 1 in the Central North Pacific. They all ended on November 30, of each year. These dates conventionally delimit the period when tropical cyclogenesis usually occurs in the Northern Pacific basin, east of the International Date Line. However, Tropical cyclogenesis is possible at any time of the year. Before the dawn of the satellite era in the 1960s, data on Pacific hurricanes is extremely unreliable. For a few years, there are no reported cyclones, although many systems likely formed and went undocumented.
1900
A "tropical hurricane" formed south of southwestern mainland Mexico on July 19, and moved generally westward out into the tropical Pacific, last noted well west-southwest of Baja California on July 29.
1901
A "tropical hurricane" formed south of southern Mexico on July 19, moving west-northwest through July 27, when it was last seen west of Baja California.
1902
I. Forming on July 14, a tropical cyclone made landfall on the southern portion of Baja California on July 22 as it moved northward and dissipated. The remnants produced 1 to 2 inches (25 to 50 mm) of rain over southern California on July 20 and 21.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “1900s Pacific hurricane seasons” as wikimedia list article. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia list article. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4557827. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1900, 1901 and 1902.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
