The 2014 Pacific hurricane season is the most active season on record since 1992, and the fourth most active since reliable records began. The season officially started on May 15 in the East Pacific Ocean, and on June 1 in the Central Pacific; they will both end on November 30. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Pacific basin. However, the formation of tropical cyclones is possible at any time of the year.

The season began with an active start, with three tropical cyclones developing before June 15, including two Category 4 hurricanes, of which one became the strongest tropical cyclone ever recorded in May in the East Pacific. After a less active period in late June and early July, activity once again picked up in August, and persisted throughout September and October. The active season resulted in numerous records, including Hurricane Amanda, the strongest May hurricane and earliest Category 4 on record, Hurricane Cristina, the earliest second major hurricane, Hurricane Genevieve, the first tropical cyclone to exist in all three Pacific basins since Hurricane Jimena in 2003, Hurricane Iselle, the strongest tropical cyclone on record to strike the Big Island of Hawaii, Hurricane Marie, the first Category 5 Pacific hurricane since Hurricane Celia in 2010, Hurricane Odile, the most destructive tropical cyclone of the season and the most intense tropical cyclone to make landfall over the Baja California peninsula and Hurricane Simon, the record breaking ninth major hurricane and sixth Category 4 hurricane of the season.
