[edit]Storm names
[edit]The following names were used to name storms that formed in the northeastern Pacific Ocean during 2015. The names not retired from this list will be used again in the 2021 season.[5] This is the same list used in the 2009 season.
|
For storms that form in the Central Pacific Hurricane Center's area of responsibility, encompassing the area between 140°W and the International Date Line, all names are used in a series of four rotating lists.[6]

Retirement
[edit]On April 25, 2016, at the 38th session of the RA IV hurricane committee, the World Meteorological Organization officially retired the name Patricia due to its extreme intensity. Patricia will be replaced with Pamela for the 2021 Pacific hurricane season.[7]
Season effects
[edit]This is a table of all the storms that have formed in the 2015 Pacific hurricane season. It includes their duration, names, landfall(s), denoted in parentheses, damages, and death totals. Deaths in parentheses are additional and indirect (an example of an indirect death would be a traffic accident), but were still related to that storm. Damage and deaths include totals while the storm was extratropical, a wave, or a low, and all the damage figures are in 2015 USD.
