1960 Pacific Hurricane Season
The 1960 Pacific hurricane season was an event in the annual seasons of Tropical Cyclone development. It officially started on May 15, 1960, in the eastern Pacific and lasted until November 30, 1960. The 1960 season was the first season that Eastern Pacific hurricanes were named. Eight tropical cyclones, seven named storms and five hurricanes formed during the 1960 season, none of the hurricanes reached beyond category 1 status on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale.

International Date Line
The International Date Line (IDL) is the line extending between the South and North Poles that is the boundary between one calendar day and the next. It passes through the Pacific Ocean, roughly following the 180.0° line of longitude and deviating to pass around some territories and island groups. Crossing the date line eastbound decreases the date by one day, while crossing the date line westbound increases the date. The line is a cartographic convention and is not defined by international law. This has made it difficult for cartographers to agree on its precise course and has allowed countries through whose waters it passes to move it at times for their convenience. Geography Circumnavigating the globe People traveling westward around the world must set their clocks: *Back by one hour for every 15° of longitude crossed, and *Forward by 24 hours upon crossing the International Date Line. People traveling eastward must set their clocks: *Forward by one hour for e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

1960–61 South-West Indian Ocean Cyclone Season
The 1960–61 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season was one of the least active South-West Indian Ocean cyclone seasons on record. It only had 6 tropical depressions, 5 named storms, 4 tropical storms, and 1 cyclone, Doris. Additionally, none of its storms made landfall, therefore it had almost no deaths or damage. The season was also the second with named storms, the first being 1959–60. Systems Tropical Storm Anna Ana existed from November 11 to November 14. Its peak intensity was 65 kilometers an hour, or 40 miles per hour, in 1-minute maximum sustained winds. Unnamed tropical depression A tropical depression briefly existed in the northeast portion of the basin from November 29–30. Its peak intensity is currently unknown. Tropical Storm Barbara Barbara existed from November 27 to December 3. In 1-minute maximum sustained winds, its peak intensity was 85 miles per hour. That is equal to 50 kilometers per hour. For its whole duration, it stayed away from lan ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

1960 North Indian Ocean Cyclone Season
The 1960 North Indian Ocean cyclone season featured two deadly tropical cyclones that collectively killed approximately 20,000 people collectively in East Pakistan (present-day Bangladesh). The Indian subcontinent divides the North Indian Ocean into two areas: the Bay of Bengal to the east and the Arabian Sea to the west. The official Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre for this basin is the India Meteorological Department (IMD), while the Joint Typhoon Warning Center releases unofficial advisories. On average, five storms form in the North Indian Ocean every season with dual peaks in activity during May and November. Cyclones that occurred between 45th meridian east, 45°E and 100th meridian east, 100°E were included in seasonal records by the IMD. Fifteen depression (meteorology), depressions developed during the 1960 season, with five becoming Tropical cyclone scales#North Indian Ocean, cyclonic storms.

1960 Pacific Typhoon Season
The 1960 Pacific typhoon season had no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1960, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between June and December. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, north of the equator, and west of the International Date Line. Storms that form east of the dateline and north of the equator are called hurricanes; see 1960 Pacific hurricane season. Tropical storms formed in the entire west Pacific basin were assigned a name by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Tropical depressions in this basin had the "W" suffix added to their number.

1960 Atlantic Hurricane Season
The 1960 Atlantic hurricane season was the least active Atlantic hurricane season, season since 1952 Atlantic hurricane season, 1952. The season officially began on June 15, and lasted until November 15. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin. The first system, an 1960 Texas tropical storm, unnamed storm, developed in the Bay of Campeche on June 22. It brought severe local flooding to southeastern Texas and was considered the worst disaster in some towns since a 1945 Texas hurricane, Hurricane in 1945. The unnamed storm moved across the United States for almost a week before dissipating on June 29. In July, Hurricane Abby (1960), Hurricane Abby resulted in minor damage in the Leeward Islands, before impacting a few Central American counties — the remnants of the storm would go on to form 1960 Pacific hurricane season#Hurricane Celeste, Hurricane Celeste in the East Pacific.
