    Since records began in 1949, there has been a total of 83 recorded Category 2 hurricanes within the Eastern
    Pacific tropical cyclone basin, which is the portion of the Pacific Ocean located north of the equator and east
    of the International Date Line. Storms that intensified beyond Category 2 status are not included in this list.
    Category 2 status is the fourth-highest classification on the Saffir-Simpson scale, and classifies systems with
    winds between 83 knots (96 mph; 154 km/h; 43 m/s) and 95 knots (109 mph; 176 km/h; 49 m/s). Tropical
    cyclones that attain the aforementioned winds and make landfall are capable of causing substantial damage to
    human lives and infrastructure. The development of tropical cyclones within the Eastern Pacific is influenced
    by a plethora of factors. During hurricane season, which runs from May through November, sea surface Hurricane Paul (1982)

    Category 2 systems formed between the months of July and October
