1967 Pacific hurricane season

Olivia made landfall on the eastern side of the Baja Peninsula as a major hurricane—only one of two storms ever to do so.

It rapidly weakened and was stopped being tracked on June 26 south of the Baja Peninsula of Mexico.

The depression had its origin in a loosely organized area of squalls which had first appeared on satellite photos late on July 5.

[6][7][8] On June 29, a local hurricane center in Mexico started to track a disturbance off the coast Yucatan, the disturbance remained stationary and unable to develop before it crossed over and slowly moved westwards strengthening to a tropical depression southwest of the Baja Peninsula.

[9] On July 24, the sixth tropical storm of the season was identified relatively close to the Mexican coast.

It held peak intensity for 24 hours and weakened the next morning to a moderate tropical storm.

The night that Katrina became a hurricane, it made landfall on the Baja Peninsula with winds of 85 miles (137 km) per hour.

It emerged soon after and paralleled the peninsula until making landfall at the head of the Bay of California.

[15][16] In Mexico, Katrina caused significant damage to parts of San Felipe.

[22] The only storm to form in the Central Pacific during the year, Sarah was found southeast of Hawaii on September 9 with winds of 70 miles (110 km) per hour.

The only measured pressure reading from Sarah was found in the Western Pacific, 932 hectopascals (27.5 inHg).

[24] On September 13, a tropical storm formed south of the Baja Peninsula and was named Monica.

[26] The only major hurricane of the season, Olivia formed on October 6 as a tropical depression.

No damage figures exist from Olivia, due to the scarce population of the area it struck.

[28] The final hurricane of the season formed on October 14 south of central Mexico as a tropical storm.

Priscilla stayed a hurricane for 48 hours until it weakened into a tropical storm on the 18th as it curved westward.

[32] This was the fourth of four sets of storm names established at the start of the 1960 season, and was utilized for the first in 1967.

[35] One named storm, listed below, formed in the North Pacific between 140°W and the International Date Line in 1967.

At the time, storm names within this region were assigned by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center on Guam.
