List of Mexico hurricanes

The North American country of Mexico regularly experiences tropical cyclones from both the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans.

Tropical cyclones that produce maximum sustained winds of more than 119 kilometre per hour (74 mph) are designated as hurricanes, which can produce deadly and damaging effects, particularly where they make landfall, or move ashore.

From 1951 to 2000, Pacific hurricanes most frequently struck the northwestern Mexican states Baja California Sur or Sinaloa, as well as Michoacán in southern Mexico.

Atlantic hurricanes during the same period were most likely to hit Quintana Roo along the eastern Yucatán peninsula and Veracruz along the Bay of Campeche.

Along both coasts, the month with the most landfalls was September, although they can occur as early as May.
