five seasons=2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, Post-2008The 2007 Pacific hurricane season was an event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation. 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 ACE was the third lowest since the geostationary satellite era began in 1966.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?] 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.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?] Tropical Storm Barbara in June caused $55 million (2007 USD) in crop damage in southeastern Mexico from heavy precipitation. In August, Hurricane Flossie formed in the Eastern Pacific and crossed into the Central Pacific, threatening Hawaii but causing little damage. In early September, Hurricane Henriette dropped heavy rainfall in southwest Mexico, which caused nine fatalities and $25 million (2007 USD) in damage.

Seasonal forecasts

For the central Pacific Ocean, 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 2013 Pacific hurricane season.
