Storms[edit]

Tropical Storm Victoria[edit]

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationJune 4 – June 7
Peak intensity85 km/h (50 mph) (1-min);

On June 4, a tropical depression formed 585 miles (945 km) southwest of Acapulco, Mexico[1] Early the next morning, the depression strengthened into the first tropical storm of the season and was named Victoria.[1] At that time, the storm was at its peak intensity of 50 mph (85 km/h) which it retained while heading generally to the northwest.[1] Early on June 7, the tropical storm weakened into a tropical depression before dissipating six hours later.[1]

Tropical Storm Wallie[edit]

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationJune 17 – June 18
Peak intensity85 km/h (50 mph) (1-min);

Early on the morning of June 17, a tropical depression formed 185 miles (300 km/h) west of Puerto Angel, Mexico.[2] SIx hours later, the depression strengthened into the second tropical storm of the season and was named Wallie.[2] At this time, Wallie was at its peak intensity of 50 mph (85 km/h).[2] Wallie headed northwest and degenerated into an area of low pressure just off the Mexican coast early on June 18.[3] The remnant low made landfall in the vicinity of Zihuatanejo, Mexico early on June 18 before dissipating later that day.[2]

Damage from Tropical Storm Wallie was described as the worst in eight years. Monetary damages were described was being in the "thousands", however a specific number is unknown. No deaths were reported due to the storm.[4]

Tropical Storm Ava[edit]

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationJune 29 – July 5
Peak intensity85 km/h (50 mph) (1-min);

Early on June 29, a tropical storm was identified 535 miles (860 km) south of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and named Ava.[5] At that time, the storm was at peak intensity of 50 mph (85 km/h).[5] 18 hours after formation, Tropical Storm Ava weakened into a tropical depression.[5] Late on June 30, Tropical Depression Ava re-strengthened into a tropical storm and regained peak intensity.[5] At this time, the storm took a track that went north and back south gently.[5] Soon after having completed the track back south on July 3, Tropical Storm Ava weakened into a tropical depression.[5] The weakened system dissipated early on July 5.[5]

Tropical Storm Bernice[edit]

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationJune 30 – July 8
Peak intensity85 km/h (50 mph) (1-min);

On June 30, a tropical storm was identified and named Bernice while 275 miles (445 km) south of Puerto Angel, Mexico.[6] For the next few days, the storm moved generally northeastward at peak intensity of 50 mph (85 km/h).[6] On July 5, Bernice stopped its northeastward motion and began to head nearly due east before heading slightly to the northeast again before dissipating on July 8.[6]

Tropical Storm Claudia[edit]

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationAugust 7 – August 10
Peak intensity85 km/h (50 mph) (1-min);

During the afternoon of August 7, a tropical depression formed 150 miles southwest of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.[7] 24 hours later, on August 8, the tropical depression strengthened into a tropical storm and was named Claudia.[7] At that time, Claudia was at peak intensity of 50 mph (85 km/h was beginning to recurve to the north.[7] The storm remained at peak intensity while recurving until August 10 when it weakened into a weak tropical storm and became extratropical.[7][3] The extratropical storm continued to weaken while heading nearly due north before dissipating on August 11.[7]

Tropical Storm Doreen[edit]

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationAugust 21 – August 31
Peak intensity85 km/h (50 mph) (1-min);
≥975 hPa (mbar)

Late on August 19, Tropical Storm Doreen was first located with a TIROS satellite image.[8] The next day, a ship, the San Juan Prospector reported winds of 40 knots (45 mph, 70 km/h) and a pressure of 975 mbar (hPa).[8] At this time, Doreen was moving to the northwest as 10 knots. On August 21, Doreen altered its course to the west, but reversed back to its original heading the next day.[8] On the 22nd, the ship Kyoyu Maru, which was just north of the storm's center reported winds of 60 knots (70 mph, 115 km/h).[8] Over the next few days, the storm gently recurved northward but then slowed down and headed to the southwest.[8] On August 30, Tropical Storm Doreen crossed the Central Pacific where it dissipated the next morning.[8]

During the course of the system, 13 ships reported winds related to Doreen.[8] After post-season analysis, Doreen was found to have peaked with sustained winds of 50 mph (85 km/h) and formed on August 21, two days after advisories were operationally begun.[8][9]

Hurricane Emily[edit]

Category 1 hurricane (SSHWS)
 
DurationAugust 30 – September 6
Peak intensity90 mph (150 km/h) (1-min);
980 mbar (hPa)

Hurricane Emily weakened while moving northward in the Eastern Pacific. It hit Baja California as a tropical depression on September 6, and brought light rain to the desert southwest.

Hurricane Emily was the "first potentially hazardous storm in many years" to approach Southern California.[10] It approached Southern California while the Sealab 2 Project was underway at La Jolla, California. There was concern that waves from Emily would move the Berkone, a support ship for Sealab, away from the Sealab site as the project would have to be halted.[10]

Tropical Storm Florence[edit]

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationSeptember 8 – September 15
Peak intensity85 km/h (50 mph) (1-min);

Tropical Storm Glenda[edit]

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationSeptember 13 – September 22
Peak intensity85 km/h (50 mph) (1-min);

Tropical Storm Hazel[edit]

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationSeptember 24 – September 27
Peak intensity85 km/h (50 mph) (1-min);

Late on September 23, a disturbance became a tropical depression at a distance of 100 miles (160 kilometers) east of Socorro Island, Mexico.[11]Later that day, satellite imagery indicated winds of up to 50 mph (85 km/h) near the center.[11] The lowest pressure recorded in the storm - 986 mbar (29.1 inHg) - was reported from a ship called the Santa Anita around the same time.[12] On September 26, a ship called the Philippine President Quezon reported south-southwest winds of 60 mph (95 km/h), high seas, and an oceanic swell of 12 feet (3.7 m), which indicated that the storm was now moving to the east-northeast. The storm made landfall south of Mazatlán on September 26 and became extratropical shortly afterward.[11][13]

In post-season analysis, it was found that Hazel formed the the day after it was operationally thought.[13]

Tropical Storm Hazel killed six people and left six more missing, three in Mazatlán and three in Nayarit.[14] Thousands more were left homeless. Mazatlán's shrimp fleet, which makes up the base of the city's economy, suffered major damage, while in southern Sinaloa, 55,000 acres of cotton, corn, and sorghum were lost.[14] At least 50 boats were damaged or sunk by the storm.[14] The damage from the storm was estimated at $10 million (1965 USD) and possibly more, making Hazel the costliest tropical cyclone of the season.[15]

Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) rating[edit]

ACE (104kt²) – Source[3]
1 8.3025 Doreen 6 2.2275 Florence
2 7.4925 Glenda 7 1.8225 Victoria
3 6.2775 Bernice 8 1.8225 Claudia
4 4.96 Emily 9 1.62 Hazel
5 2.835 Ava 10 0.81 Wallie
Total: 40.17

Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) is a measure of the activity of a hurricane season. It is calculated by squaring the windspeed of a cyclone with at least tropical storm-force winds every six hours, summing the results, and dividing that total by 104.[16] As a tropical cyclone does not have gale-force winds until it becomes a tropical storm, tropical depressions are not included in these tables. For all storms, ACE is given to three significant figures. The ACE in the east Pacific proper (140°W to North America) is given; the ACE in the central Pacific (the International Date Line to 140°W) is given in brackets.
