It officially started on [[May 15]], [[2007]] in the eastern Pacific, designated as the area east of 140°W, and on [[June 1]] [[2007]] in the central Pacific, which is between the [[International Date Line]] and 140°W, and lasted until [[November 30]], [[2007]]. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Pacific basin. The season began slowly; through the end of July, the seasonal [[Accumulated Cyclone Energy|ACE]] was the third lowest since the geostationary satellite era began in [[1950-1969 Pacific hurricane seasons|1966]].<ref name="July TWS">{{cite web|author=Blake/Mainelli/Rhome/Brown|date=[[2007-08-01]]|title=July Monthly Tropical Weather Summary|publisher=National Hurricane Center|accessdate=2007-08-01|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2007/tws/MIATWSEP_jul.shtml?}}</ref> The inactivity continued through the next month, which was the third quietest August in terms of ACE since reliable records began in the basin in [[1971 Pacific hurricane season|1971]].<ref name="August TWS">{{cite web|author=Blake & Mainelli|year=2007|title=August Monthly Tropical Weather Summary|publisher=National Hurricane Center|accessdate=2007-09-01|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2007/tws/MIATWSEP_aug.shtml?}}</ref> [[Tropical Storm Barbara (2007)|Tropical Storm Barbara]] in June caused $55&nbsp;million (2007&nbsp;USD) in crop damage in southeastern Mexico from heavy precipitation.

It briefly strengthened to Tropical Storm Kiko the next day while its center remained almost stationary, but soon weakened again under the influence of shearing winds. On [[October 17]] it was once more upgraded to a tropical storm and began to move east or northeast towards mainland [[Mexico]], causing storm warnings to be issued. On [[October 19]] it turned to the northwest parallel to the Mexican coast and commenced strengthening, peaking just below hurricane strength on [[October 21]]. Thereafter it weakened as it moved westward, dissipating on [[October 23]]. * The NHC's [http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2006/refresh/KIKO+shtml/ archive] on Tropical Storm Kiko. * NHC's end-of-season [http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pdf/TCR-EP152007_Kiko.pdf report] on Tropical Storm Kiko. <div style="clear: both"></div> <br clear="all"> == Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) Rating == {|class="wikitable" align=right style="margin:0 0 0.5em 1em;" |- !colspan=14|ACE (10<sup>4</sup>kt²) ([[Talk:2007 Pacific hurricane season/ACE calcs|Source]]) &mdash; Storm: |- ! 1 | 5.76 <br> (18.1) || [[Hurricane Flossie (2007)|Flossie]] ! 7 | 1.98 || [[Tropical Storm Barbara (2007)|Barbara]] |- ! 2 | 7.51 || [[Hurricane Henriette (2007)|Henriette]] ! 8 | 1.72 || Juliette |- ! 3 | 5.47 || Ivo ! 9 | 1.25 || Gil |- ! 4 | 4.40 || Kiko ! 10 | 0.61 || Alvin |- ! 5 | 2.77 || Cosme ! 11 | 0.49 || Erick |- ! 6 | 2.40 || Dalila ! | || |- ! colspan=6 | Total: 34.4 (18.1) |} The table on the right shows the [[Accumulated Cyclone Energy|ACE]] for each storm in the season. ACE is, broadly speaking, a measure of the power of the hurricane multiplied by the length of time it existed, so storms that last a long time, as well as particularly strong hurricanes, have high ACEs. ACE is only calculated for full advisories on tropical systems at or exceeding 34&nbsp;knots (39&nbsp;mph, 63&nbsp;km/h) or tropical storm strength. The figures in parenthesis are for storms in the Central Pacific basin west of 140°W; those not in parenthesis are for the Eastern Pacific basin. <div style="clear:both;"></div> ==Storm names== The following names were used for named storms that formed in the northeast Pacific in [[2007]]. This is the same list that was used in the [[2001 Pacific hurricane season|2001 season]], except for Alvin, which replaced Adolph, which was retired due to political sensitivities. The name Alvin was used for a storm for the first time this year. {| width="90%" | * Alvin * [[Tropical Storm Barbara (2007)|Barbara]] * [[Hurricane Cosme (2007)|Cosme]] * Dalila * Erick * [[Hurricane Flossie (2007)|Flossie]] * Gil * [[Hurricane Henriette (2007)|Henriette]] | * [[Hurricane Ivo (2007)|Ivo]] * Juliette * Kiko * {{tcname unused|Lorena}} * {{tcname unused|Manuel}} * {{tcname unused|Narda}} * {{tcname unused|Octave}} * {{tcname unused|Priscilla}} | * {{tcname unused|Raymond}} * {{tcname unused|Sonia}} * {{tcname unused|Tico}} * {{tcname unused|Velma}} * {{tcname unused|Wallis}} * {{tcname unused|Xina}} * {{tcname unused|York}} * {{tcname unused|Zelda}} |} For the central Pacific Ocean, [[Lists of tropical cyclone names#Central North Pacific (Date line to 140W)|four consecutive lists]] are used, with the names used sequentially until exhausted, rather than until the end of the year, due to the low number of storms each year. No central pacific names were used; the next one used would have been ''Kika''. No names were retired for the 2007 Pacific hurricane season. The same list of names will be reused in the [[List of tropical cyclone names|2013 Pacific hurricane season]]. ==See also== {{tcportal}} *[[List of Pacific hurricanes]] *[[List of Pacific hurricane seasons]] *[[2007 Atlantic hurricane season]] *[[2007 Pacific typhoon season]] *[[2007 North Indian Ocean cyclone season]] *South-West Indian Ocean cyclone seasons: [[2006-07 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season|2006-07]], [[2007-08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season|2007-08]] *Australian region cyclone seasons: [[2006-07 Australian region cyclone season|2006-07]], [[2007-08 Australian region cyclone season|2007-08]] *South Pacific cyclone seasons: [[2006-07 South Pacific cyclone season|2006-07]], [[2007-08 South Pacific cyclone season|2007-08]] ==References== {{reflist|2}} ==External links== ** [http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIATWOEP.shtml National Hurricane Center's Eastern Pacific Tropical Weather Outlook] - updated four times daily * [http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ National Hurricane Center] * [http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2007/ National Hurricane Center's 2007 Advisory Archive] * [http://www.prh.noaa.gov/hnl/cphc/ Central Pacific Hurricane Center] * [http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/tc_pages/tc_home.html NRL hurricane page] - [[Naval Research Laboratory]] page with extensive archives on individual storms {{2007 Pacific hurricane season buttons}} {{2000-2009 Pacific hurricane seasons}} [[Category:Pacific hurricane seasons|2007]] [[Category:2007 Pacific hurricane season|*]] [[de:Pazifische Hurrikansaison 2007]] [[es:Temporada de huracanes en el Pacífico de 2007]] [[fr:Saison cyclonique 2007 dans le nord-est de l'océan Pacifique]] [[nl:Orkaanseizoen van de Grote Oceaan 2007]] [[pt:Temporada de furacões no Pacífico de 2007]] [[zh:2007年太平洋颶風季]]
