The 1926 Pacific hurricane season ran through the summer and fall of 1926. Before the satellite age started in the 1960s, data on east Pacific hurricanes was extremely unreliable. Most east Pacific storms were of no threat to land.
A tropical storm existed in the Gulf of Tehuantepec on June 13. The lowest reported pressure was 29.55 inHg (100.1 kPa). [1]
Well south of Mexico, a tropical cyclone formed on July 5. It moved northwestward, and was last observed on July 9 while located south of the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula. It was a hurricane, and the lowest reported pressure was 28.90 inHg (97.9 kPa). [2]
Far from land, a tropical cyclone was reported on July 21. It had gale-force winds and a minimum reported pressure of 29.49 inHg (99.9 kPa). [2]
On August 8, a tropical cyclone began forming. It was definitely extant on August 11, and was last seen on August 15. It caused gales and had a lowest reported pressure of 29.44 inHg (99.7 kPa). [3]
Another tropical cyclone was observed from August 22 to 23. It had a lowest reported pressure of 29.60 inHg (100.2 kPa) and also caused gales. [3]
A tropical cyclone existed from September 14 to 16, during which time it moved along the coast. The lowest reported pressure was 29.64 inHg (100.4 kPa). It caused heavy rain. [4]
A tropical cyclone moved along the coast from Manzanillo, to Mazatlán, to the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula, from September 24 to 26. It had gale-force winds, a lowest reported pressure of 29.56 inHg (100.1 kPa), and caused heavy rainfall. [4]
A tropical cyclone formed south of Acapulco on October 2. The next day, it was a tropical storm. It pretty much hung around in the same area, and dissipated near the western Gulf of Tehuantepec on October 11. The lowest reported pressure was 29.55 inHg (100.1 kPa). [5]

Most east Pacific storms were of no threat to land. However, 1938 saw an unusually active season, with numerous tropical cyclones forming in January and a hurricane struck Northern California in February, killing five people. On August 18, Cyclone Mokapu caused record August rainfall, and a record low pressure when it struck Hawaiian Islands. It brought down power lines and damages into a plantation.

In May, a tropical cyclone struck Acapulco, cutting that city off from the outside communication for four days, causing buildings in the city to be damaged, and caused a woman's death.
