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. There are numerous damaging tropical cyclones during the season, and half of tropical cyclones during the season became hurricanes. Systems Tropical Storm One Just off the coast of Guatemala, a tropical storm was reported on June 8. It headed north, and sometime after June 9 made landfall. It crossed the isthmus, and it emerged into the Gulf of Honduras. The system then became the first tropical storm of the 1936 Atlantic hurricane season.Monthly Weather Review Tropical Disturbances, June 1936 IR Tannehill http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/general/lib/lib1/nhclib/mwreviews/1936.pdf July 1936 64 6 204 10.1175/1520-0493(1936)64<204:TDJ>2.0.CO;2 1936MWRv...64..204T 2011-01-18 https://web.archive.org/web/20110104021938/http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/general/lib/lib1/nhclib/mwreviews/1936.pdf 4 January 2011 live This cyclone's lowest measured pressure while located in the Pacific Ocean was 29.67 inHg kPa on.North Pacific Ocean, June 1936 Monthly Weather Review 2011-01-18 Willis Hurd http://docs.lib.noaa.gov/rescue/mwr/064/mwr-064-06-0217.pdf June 1936 64 6 217 10.1175/1520-0493(1936)64<217:NPOJ>2.0.CO;2 1936MWRv...64..217H This tropical storm caused heavy rains over parts of Central America, especially the Yucatán and British Honduras.

It entered the Gulf of California and moved up its entire length, weakening as it went north-northwestward.
