[2] It organized into a tropical depression around 00:00 UTC on June 3 but initially failed to intensify further,[3] due in part to its loosely-defined circulation.

[2] Following a consolidation of its center, the cyclone finally strengthened into Tropical Storm Annette early on June 6 and entered a period of steady to rapid development.

It became a major hurricane late on June 8 and reached Category 4 intensity with peak winds of 140 mph (230 km/h) the next day, when a reconnaissance aircraft measured a minimum atmospheric pressure of 925 mbar (hPa; 27.32 inHg).

[3] On a westward track, it strengthened into Tropical Storm Bonny twelve hours after formation and further organized into a hurricane around 06:00 UTC on June 27, attaining peak winds of 75 mph (121 km/h).

[3] A continual west-northwest track brought Diana over progressively cooler waters,[2] causing it to weaken to a tropical storm again early on July 20.

The compact storm instead weakened to a tropical depression by 18:00 UTC on July 29, shortly before it entered the Central Pacific Hurricane Center's area of responsibility.

[3] Thereafter, a deceleration of the storm's forward speed over a patch of colder waters prompted weakening, and Gwen fell to tropical depression strength early on August 11.

Rapidly-developing Hurricane Hyacinth to its east forced the weak cyclone to move abruptly north,[2] during which time Gwen regained its status as a tropical storm around 18:00 UTC on August 12.

On a west-northwest track, the storm continued to strengthen and became a hurricane around 12:00 UTC on August 9,[3] after which time a small yet distinct eye became evident on satellite imagery.

[2] Hyacinth attained its peak as a Category 3 hurricane with winds of 115 mph (185 km/h) the next day,[3] but soon began to weaken as it rapidly moved toward cooler waters.

[3] It oscillated in strength over the subsequent 24 hours, but ultimately began a steady weakening trend by August 30 while passing over marginal ocean temperatures.

[3] Kathleen formed from an area of disturbed weather that was first identified roughly 345 miles (555 km) southwest of Acapulco, Guerrero, on September 6.

Despite fluctuations in strength over the next day, Kathleen intensified into a Category 1 hurricane around 00:00 UTC on September 10,[3] when a reconnaissance aircraft measured peak winds of 80 mph (130 km/h).

An accelerating forward motion brought the cyclone over Point Eugenia as a moderate tropical storm early on September 10.

It continued onshore about 160 miles (260 km) south of Ensenada, Baja California,[2] ultimately losing its status as a tropical cyclone by 18:00 UTC.

[1] There was only minor damage reported to the northern and eastern shores of Oahu, Maui, and Hawaii due to heavy surf.

[1] The deadliest and most destructive hurricane of the 1976 season originated as a large tropical disturbance about 525 miles (845 km) southwest of Acapulco, Guerrero, on September 25.

[3] The incipient cyclone turned toward the north while continuing over warm waters,[2] and it attained hurricane strength by 00:00 UTC on September 28.

Liza intensified into a major hurricane on September 29,[3] and a reconnaissance aircraft measured peak winds of 140 mph (230 km/h) around 18:00 UTC, when the storm was in the midst of an eyewall replacement cycle.

It moved onshore the coastline of Mexico a few hours later, rapidly weakening and losing its status as a tropical cyclone after 18:00 UTC that day.

[3] The last storm of the season began as a tropical disturbance roughly 920 miles (1,480 km) south-southwest of Mazatlán, Sinaloa, late on October 22.

[3] In the presence of wind shear, the cyclone slowly weakened thereafter, moving ashore the coastline of Mexico near Mazatlán as a minimal tropical storm early on October 29.
