The 1932 Pacific hurricane season ran through the summer and fall of 1932. Before the satellite age started in the 1960s, data on east Pacific hurricanes was extremely unreliable. Most east Pacific storms were of no threat to land.
Systems
Hurricane One
A tropical cyclone formed in the Gulf of Tehuantepec on June 18. It moved along the coast, became a hurricane, and was last seen June 21. The lowest pressure was an uncorrected 29.48 inHg kPa on. This hurricane was reported to have winds of 130 mph.North Pacific Ocean, June 1932 Monthly Weather Review 2011-01-18 Willis Hurd http://docs.lib.noaa.gov/rescue/mwr/060/mwr-060-06-0139.pdf June 1932 60 6 139 10.1175/1520-0493(1932)60<139:NPOJ>2.0.CO;2 1932MWRv...60..139H

Hurricane Four
Somewhere southwest of the Gulf of Tehuantepec, a tropical cyclone formed on September 24. It paralleled the coast, and intensified into a hurricane on September 25. It then recurved, and made landfall near Mazatlán late during the night of September 26 and 27, while still a hurricane. It dissipated inland over the mountains of Mexico. The lowest pressure reported by a ship was 28.64 inHg kPa on. The hurricane caused about $5,000,000 (1932 USD) in damage.
Hurricane Five
On September 26, a hurricane was spotted south of Acapulco. It headed along the coast, and entered the Gulf of California sometime on or after September 28,North Pacific Ocean, September 1932 Monthly Weather Review 2011-01-18 Willis Hurd http://docs.lib.noaa.gov/rescue/mwr/060/mwr-060-09-0186.pdf September 1932 60 9 186 10.1175/1520-0493(1932)60<186:NPOS>2.0.CO;2 1932MWRv...60..186H wherein it moved north-northwest and dissipated, with its remnants continuing into the Southwestern United States.USA Today Jack Williams Background: California's tropical storms 2005-05-17 https://www.usatoday.com/weather/whhcalif.htm 2012-05-12
Powerful winds in Mazatlán were attributed to this system. Over a four-day period ending October 1, those remnants caused heavy rain of up to 7 in mm in the mountains of Southern California. Over a seven-hour period, 4.38 in mm fell at Tehachapi. That total by itself is enough to make this tropical cyclone one of California's wettest tropical storms.http://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/tropical/rain/tcwest.html Tropical Cyclone Rainfall for the West David M Roth Hydrometeorological Prediction Center 2011-01-18 Those rains also caused flash flooding on Tehachapi and Agua Caliente Creeks, which killed fifteen people.http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/sgx/document/weatherhistory.pdf A History of Significant Weather Events in Southern California National Weather Service Forecast Office San Diego 2012-05-12 January 2007
