OR:

The 1967 Pacific hurricane season started on June 1 and ended on November 30, 1967. The season was of little note except for Hurricanes Katrina and Olivia. Katrina made landfall on the Baja Peninsula, killing at least 60 and made 2,500 homeless. Olivia made landfall on the eastern side of the Baja Peninsula as a major hurricane—only one of two storms ever to do so. Hurricane/Typhoon Sarah formed in the Central Pacific and reached category 1 strength before crossing over to the Western Pacific. __TOC__

Tropical Depression One

On May 18, the first tropical depression of the season formed. It remained weak and dissipated the next day far out at sea.JTWC report for 1967


Tropical Storm Agatha

The first tropical storm of the season formed on June 7 at peak intensity far off from any landmass. It remained at peak intensity until it was stopped being tracked on the 10th.


Tropical Storm Bridget

On June 16, a tropical storm was identified south of Mexico with winds of 45 mph ( /h). It weakened as it approached the Mexican mainland and dissipated later that day.


Hurricane Carlotta

The first hurricane of the season, Hurricane Carlotta formed on June 23 near the Mexican coast. The storm gradually strengthened and became the next day. The storm stayed as a hurricane until June 25. It rapidly weakened and was stopped being tracked on June 26 south of the Baja Peninsula of Mexico.


Tropical Storm Denise

On July 6, a tropical depression formed south of Mexico. The depression had its origin in a loosely organized area of squalls which had first appeared on satellite photos late on July 5. It strengthened to a tropical storm on the 9th and was named ''Denise''. On July 15, Denise, now in the Central Pacific weakened into a tropical depression. The depression dissipated south-west of Hawaii on July 18, never threatening land.


Tropical Storm Eleanor

A few days after Denise formed, a new tropical depression formed south-west of the Baja Peninsula. It strengthened into a tropical storm late that night and was named ''Eleanor''. It weakened into a tropical depression three days later, on July 16. The depression continued a long journey north-westward until July 22, when it dissipated. Eleanor never threatened land.


Tropical Storm Francene

On July 24, the sixth tropical storm of the season was identified relatively close to the Mexican coast. The storm continued a north-westward direction until it dissipated south of the Baja Peninsula.


Tropical Storm Georgette

On July 25, a tropical depression was found far from any landmass. It reached tropical storm strength the next day and was named ''Georgette''. It dissipated on July 30.


Tropical Depression Hilary

On August 10, another tropical depression formed south of the Baja California Peninsula. It moved northwestward until it dissipated the next day. Hilary reportedly attained Tropical Storm strength, however the system's best track by the NHC does support the strength, and in post-storm analysis, Hilary was downgraded into a depression.


Tropical Storm Ilsa

On August 12, the eighth named storm of the year formed and was named ''Ilsa''. It strengthened to a peak intensity of per hour on the 14th. The storm held peak intensity for only 6 hours and weakened to have winds of per hour. The storm weakened rapidly on the night of the 17th and dissipated the next morning never having affected land.


Hurricane Jewel

On the day Ilsa dissipated, a new tropical storm was found and named ''Jewel''. It rapidly strengthened that night and reached its peak intensity the next morning. It held peak intensity for 24 hours and weakened the next morning to a moderate tropical storm. It dissipated on the 22nd.


Hurricane Katrina

The first storm to make landfall, Katrina formed on August 30. It became the third hurricane of the season 30 hours after it was named. The night that Katrina became a hurricane, it made landfall on the Baja Peninsula with winds of per hour. It emerged soon after and paralleled the

until making landfall at the head of the Bay of California. It rapidly weakened to a tropical depression and dissipated over Arizona. In Mexico, Katrina caused significant damage to parts of San Felipe. A total of 2500 people were left homeless and 60 ships were sunk. At least one person was killed.


Hurricane Lily

On September 5, a tropical storm formed and was named ''Lily''. Lily became the season's fourth hurricane on the night of September 6. It slightly weakened to have winds of per hour and stayed this way for 30 hours. It weakened to a tropical storm and dissipated as a tropical cyclone on the 11th, though its surface circulation continued drifting westward near the
30th parallel north The 30th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 30 degree (angle), degrees true north, north of the Earth, Earth's equator, equatorial plane. It stands one-third of the way between the equator and the North Pole and crosses Africa, Asia, ...
and remained identifiable on weather satellite images through the 20th.


Hurricane Sarah

The only storm to form in the Central Pacific this year, Sarah was found southeast of Hawaii on September 9 with winds of per hour. It weakened slightly to have winds of per hour. On September 11, Sarah became a hurricane for twelve hours, before weakening to a tropical storm. Sarah then regained hurricane status crossed into the Western Pacific. After it crossed, it rapidly strengthened to have winds of per hour. The only measured pressure reading from Sarah was found in the Western Pacific, . It steadily weakened and became extratropical with winds of per hour on the 22nd.


Tropical Storm Monica

On September 13, a tropical storm formed south of the Baja Peninsula and was named ''Monica''. It weakened to a tropical depression the next morning and stayed that way until September 19. It became a tropical storm again but never regained peak intensity. It dissipated on September 20.


Tropical Storm Nanette

On September 13, another tropical depression formed directly south of Mexico. Twelve hours later, it became the fourteenth tropical storm of the season, ''Nanette''. It stayed at peak intensity of per hour until September 21 when it dissipated.


Hurricane Olivia

The only major hurricane of the season, ''Olivia'' formed on October 6 as a tropical depression. It slowly strengthened and became a tropical storm 3 days later. As a tropical storm, Olivia again took a long time to become a hurricane. It headed north-northeast and hit Baja California with 50 mph winds. On the 13th, Olivia finally became a hurricane, while in the Gulf of California. It rapidly strengthened due to its very small size, and reached winds of per hour for six hours and made landfall on the eastern side of the Baja California Peninsula at that strength. Olivia rapidly weakened even faster than it strengthened and dissipated 18 hours after landfall. Olivia is only one of two major hurricanes to make landfall on eastern side of the Baja California Peninsula the other being Hurricane Kiko of 1989. It was also the first major hurricane to be named in the East Pacific. No damage figures exist from Olivia, due to the scarce population of the area it struck. However, a total of 61 people died.


Hurricane Priscilla

The final hurricane of the season formed on October 14 south of central Mexico as a tropical storm. It became a hurricane two days later. Priscilla stayed a hurricane for 48 hours until it weakened into a tropical storm on the 18th as it curved westward. It dissipated on October 20.


Tropical Storm Ramona

On October 21, the final tropical storm of the season formed. It became a tropical storm the next morning and was named ''Ramona''. Ramona stayed as a tropical storm until October 25 when it weakened to a tropical depression. The depression again strengthened to a tropical storm on the 29th as the storm started to recurve. The system dissipated while heading due north on November 3.


Other systems

In the Central Pacific, the local hurricane center noted four systems that were likely tropical depressions but not operationally monitored.
