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. 1941 season was the last season before Monthly Weather Review stopped publishing temporarily due to World War II. Systems Tropical Storm One On July 3, a tropical cyclone was spotted, and a pressure of 99.55 kPa inHg on was reported. It possibly headed northeast, towards Cape Corrientes, as a tropical cyclone was spotted in that direction on July 6. However, it is possible that these observations were actually of two different tropical cyclones.Willis Hurd Weather on the North Pacific Ocean Monthly Weather Review 2011-01-18 http://docs.lib.noaa.gov/rescue/mwr/069-081/069/mwr-069-07-0214b.pdf July 1941 69 9 274–275 10.1175/1520-0493(1941)069<0274:WOTNPO>2.0.CO;2 1941MWRv...69..274H free Tropical Cyclone Two A tropical cyclone was spotted on July 15, south of Mexico. The next day, another cyclone was spotted further to the west. On July 18, weather possibly associated with a tropical cyclone was reported south of Cabo San Lucas. It is unknown whether either one of these two latter observations are of the same system as reported on July 15. Possible Tropical Cyclone Three On July 21, a possible tropical cyclone was detected. Tropical Cyclone Four On August 16, a tropical cyclone formed well off the coast of Mexico. It tracked generally northwest, and dissipated in the central Pacific north-northeast of the Hawaiian Islands on August 24. The lowest pressure reported by a ship was 29.34 inHg kPa on.Willis Hurd Weather on the North Pacific Ocean Monthly Weather Review 2011-01-18 http://docs.lib.noaa.gov/rescue/mwr/069-081/069/mwr-069-08-0243b.pdf August 1941 69 9 274–275 10.1175/1520-0493(1941)069<0274:WOTNPO>2.0.CO;2 1941MWRv...69..274H free Hurricane Five 1941 Cabo San Lucas hurricane thumb|Surface weather analysis of the hurricane on September 10 A tropical storm was first reported on September 8. The storm quickly intensified, becoming a mid-level tropical storm the next day. Subsequently, the storm attained its lowest reported pressure of 1001.4 mbar inHg on. It slowly moved northwestward, and entered the Gulf of California.

The wind destroyed poorer sections of La Paz and nearby villages. Two villages, Santiago and Triunfo, were completely destroyed. The torrential rains damaged many highways across the peninsula and left thousands homeless.

According to press reports from Mexico City, the hurricane was considered the worst system to affect the state since the dawn of the 20th century. Moisture from this hurricane passed into the southwestern United States, where it caused rain of up to 1 in mm on in the mountains and deserts of California. From September 16 to 22, cloudiness and showers were reported along the southern portion of the state.Court, Arnold California State University, Northridge 1980 Tropical Cyclone Effects on California 2, 4, 6, 8, 34 April 5, 2013 http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.31822009671892;seq=10;size=125;view=image Hurricane Six and Seven A storm was first spotted September 17, and another was reported nearby the next day. These two systems then merged. The combined tropical cyclone subsequently became a very intense hurricane on September 19. That day, a ship passing through the eye reported a rapidly falling pressure that bottomed out at 27.67 inHg kPa on. At that time, the low was the strongest hurricane in the basin since 1939 and second strongest ever recorded. The hurricane then weakened, and entered the Gulf of California on September 20, at which point it was lost track of by meteorologists. Tropical Disturbance Eight Later in the month, from September 21 to September 24, a tropical disturbance was noted south of the Mexican coast, but failed to develop further.

It was reportedly very small. A ship reported a pressure of 100.44 kPa inHg on. This cyclone was unusually close to the equator, at latitude 7°30.
