The hurricane season ran through the summer and fall months which conventionally delimit the period during which most tropical cyclones form in the northeastern Pacific Ocean.

The previous day, the S.S. Garvel Park recorded sustained winds of 50 mph (80 km/h) when it was situated roughly 75 mi (120 km) south of Manzanillo, Mexico.

[2] The storm took a steady westward track during the early portion of its existence in response to a strong ridge located north of Hawaii.

[3] The remnants of the storm brought beneficial rainfall to most of Hawaii, with heavy rains being reported in parts of the Big Island.

[1] Roughly two weeks after Kanoa dissipated, the season's second hurricane was identified over the open waters of the eastern Pacific on August 6.

[3] Late on August 10, the system intensified into a Category 1 hurricane and its forward motion slowed as it turned more westward.

Initially tracking westward, the hurricane turned sharply north, maintaining an intensity of 85 mph (135 km/h) during its known existence.

Briefly slowing on August 11, the system quickly picked up forward speed as it turned northwestward, paralleling the coastline of the Baja California Peninsula.

The depression quickly intensified into a tropical storm as it traveled northwest;[2] however, operational advisories were not issued until September 3.

[2] During the day on September 4, the storm passed roughly 10 mi (15 km) south of the French Frigate Shoals, bringing strong winds gusting up to 110 mph (175 km/h).

[1] By September 9, Della began to turn westward as it approached the International Date Line with winds of 85 mph (135 km/h).

[1][2] Throughout its existence, Hurricane/Typhoon Della traveled roughly 5,000 mi (8,000 km), the longest known track of any Pacific hurricane at the time.

[2] High winds and heavy rains from the storm caused moderate damage to structures and vessels throughout Acapulco, Mexico.

[6] Several days after Hurricane Six lost its identity over Mexico, a new tropical storm formed near the southern edge of the Gulf of California on September 20.

[2] The fifth tropical cyclone to form or enter the central Pacific was first identified on September 25 several hundred miles south of the Hawaiian Islands.

[2] The tenth known storm of the season was identified on October 1 several hundred miles southwest of the tip of the Baja California Peninsula.

[7] Severe cotton crop damage was reported in the Mexican states of Sonora and Baja California Sur and bridges were washed away by flood waters.

Early on October 19, the hurricane turned due north, brushing the coastline of Mexico before dissipating just offshore the following day.

[2] The strongest storm of the season, Hurricane Twelve, was first identified as a tropical depression several hundred miles southwest of Sonora, Mexico on October 20.

Extensive property damage was reported in the region, including the complete collapse of the local baseball stadium.

Power lines and telegraph wires were downed throughout the region and high winds reportedly tossed vehicles into buildings.

As it approached Hawaii, the National Weather Bureau issued warnings for the storm, advising residents to take precaution and possibly evacuate.

[1] During 1957, tropical storms that formed in the Eastern Pacific region, east of 140°W, were not given names by the local warning center.

It includes their name, duration, peak classification and intensities, areas affected, damage, and death totals.
