Tropical Storm Dalila

The name Dalila has been used for five tropical cyclones in the Eastern Pacific Ocean.

  • Tropical Storm Dalila (1995), did not make landfall
  • Hurricane Dalila (2001), passed directly over Socorro Island as a tropical storm
  • Tropical Storm Dalila (2007), passed over Socorro Island with winds of 60 miles per hour, but no reported deaths or damages
  • Hurricane Dalila (2013), made some impact on the western shore of Mexico and then shifted westward out to sea
  • Tropical Storm Dalila (2019), never threatened land

However, before 1995, it was known as Dalilia, the Spanish form of "Delilah" which was used for two tropical cyclones; it was changed, perhaps inadvertently, in operational documents prior to the 1995 season, and the misspelling has remained.

  • Tropical Storm Dalilia (1983), never affected land
  • Hurricane Dalilia (1989), only tropical cyclone during 1989 to affect the Hawaiian Islands
