The 1991 Pacific hurricane season was a near-average Pacific hurricane season. The worst storm this year was Tropical Depression Five-E, which killed one person in Mexico. Elsewhere, Tropical Storm Ignacio injured forty people in Mexico, and Hurricane Fefa caused flooding in Hawaii. Hurricane Kevin was the strongest system of the season and became resulted the then longest-lasting hurricane in the eastern north Pacific basin. Hurricane Nora was the strongest November storm at that time.
The season officially started on May 15, 1991 in the eastern Pacific, and on June 1, 1991 in the central Pacific. It lasted until November 30, 1991 in both basins. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northeastern Pacific Ocean.
