The 1967 Pacific hurricane season started on June 1 and ended on November 30, 1967. The season was of little note except for Hurricanes Katrina and Olivia. Katrina made landfall on the Baja Peninsula, killing at least 60 and made 2,500 homeless. Olivia made landfall on the eastern side of the Baja Peninsula as a major hurricane—only one of two storms ever to do so. Hurricane/Typhoon Sarah formed in the Central Pacific and reached category 1 strength before crossing over to the Western Pacific.
On May 18, the first tropical depression of the season formed. It remained weak and dissipated the next day far out at sea.
The first tropical storm of the season formed on June 7 at peak intensity far off from any landmass. It remained at peak intensity until it was stopped being tracked on the 10th.
On June 16, a tropical storm was identified south of Mexico with winds of 45 mph (70 kilometres (43 mi) /h). It weakened as it approached the Mexican mainland and dissipated later that day.
The first hurricane of the season, Hurricane Carlotta formed on June 23 near the Mexican coast. The storm gradually strengthened and became the next day. The storm stayed as a hurricane until June 25. It rapidly weakened and was stopped being tracked on June 26 south of the Baja Peninsula of Mexico.
On July 6, a tropical depression formed south of Mexico. The depression had its origin in a loosely organized area of squalls which had first appeared on satellite photos late on July 5. It strengthened to a tropical storm on the 9th and was named Denise. On July 15, Denise, now in the Central Pacific weakened into a tropical depression. The depression dissipated south-west of Hawaii on July 18, never threatening land.
A few days after Denise formed, a new tropical depression formed south-west of the Baja Peninsula. It strengthened into a tropical storm late that night and was named Eleanor. It weakened into a tropical depression three days later, on July 16. The depression continued a long journey north-westward until July 22, when it dissipated. Eleanor never threatened land.
On July 24, the sixth tropical storm of the season was identified relatively close to the Mexican coast. The storm continued a north-westward direction until it dissipated south of the Baja Peninsula.
