The '''2013 Pacific hurricane season''' was one of five [[Pacific hurricane season]]s to feature two [[tropical cyclone]]s in May. The season officially began on May&nbsp;15, 2013 in the Eastern Pacific and started on June&nbsp;1, 2013 in the Central Pacific. Both will end on November&nbsp;30, 2013. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the eastern [[Pacific hurricane|Pacific basin]]. However, the formation of a storm is possible at any time.<ref name=SeasonDates>{{cite book|url=http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/tcfaqHED.html|title=Hurricane Research Division: Frequently Asked Questions|chapter=G: Tropical Cyclone Climatology|chapterurl=http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/tcfaqG.html|at=[http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/G1.html G1) When is hurricane season ?]|author1=Chris Landsea|author2=Neal Dorst (ed.)|publisher=[[Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory]]|date=June 2, 2011|accessdate=May 4, 2013}}</ref>

The most notable storm thus far this year was [[Hurricane Barbara (2013)|Hurricane Barbara]], which brought widespread heavy rains to much of [[Southwestern Mexico]] and [[Central America]]. Damage estimates from the storm range from $750,000 to $1 million (2013 [[United States Dollar|USD]]); four people were killed and four others are reportedly missing. In addition to Barbara, Hurricane Cosme killed two people while brushing the Mexican coast. Hurricane Dalila and Hurricane Erick also brought slight effects to the region as well. After Erick was [[Tropical Storm Flossie (2013)|Tropical Storm Flossie]], a storm currently active and racing toward the big island of Hawaii, although the center of Flossie will pass just northwest of Hilo, Hawaii, the island of Hawaii will feel the effects of Flossie.

On May 22, [[National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration]]’s [[Central Pacific Hurricane Center]] announced a below-normal season in the Central Pacific warning zone this year. The outlook calls for a 70 percent chance of a below-normal season, a 25 percent chance of a near-normal season, and a 5 percent chance of an above-normal season. 1 to 3 tropical cyclones to affect the central Pacific this season. On average, 4 to 5 [[tropical cyclones]] either form in or enter the warning zone. The main reason for below-normal activity was due to a combination of neutral [[El Niño–Southern Oscillation]] conditions and the fact that the region was in a low phase of a [[Pacific Decadal Oscillation]], which is known to suppress activity in the region. Despite this, [[meteorologists]] advised all residents of the [[Hawaiian Islands|Hawaiian Island group]] to be prepared for the upcoming hurricane season.<ref>{{cite web|title=NOAA expects below-normal Central Pacific hurricane season|url=http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2013/20130521_hurricaneoutlook_centralpacific.html|publisher=NOAA|accessdate=23 May 2013}}</ref>
