1983 Pacific Hurricane Season - 1983 Storm Names

1983 Storm Names

The following names were used for named storms that formed in the eastern Pacific in 1983. All the names on the list were used this year. No names were retired, so it was used again in the 1989 season. However, the last name in this list (Winnie) was at some point exchanged with the last name of the following year's list, (Wallis) to form the modern list. This is the first time these names had been used since the modern naming system began. No central Pacific names were used; the first name used would have been Keli.
