An Atlantic–Pacific crossover hurricane is a tropical cyclone that develops in the Atlantic Ocean and moves into the Pacific Ocean, or vise-versa. A total of seven tropical cyclones have done this. It is more common for the remnants of an Atlantic tropical cyclone to redevelop into a different storm in the Pacific; in such a scenario, they are not considered the same system.[1]

Other storms
Tropical Storm Bret from 1993 retained its circulation and was designated Tropical Depression 8-E upon reaching the Pacific. The depression dissipated, reorganized, and became Hurricane Greg.
Tropical Storm Simone in the Pacific, itself formerly Hurricane Hattie in the Atlantic, appears to have become Tropical Storm Inga in the Atlantic. (From Weatherwise, August 1963). [3] However, the viewpoint of U.S. Weather Bureau Office was that "the remnants of Hattie developed into neither Simone nor Inga".[4]
Hurricane Debby in 1988 crossed over Mexico and became Tropical Depression 17-E in the E. Pacific, but ended up dissipating before becoming a storm.
Hurricane Gert in 1993 crossed over Mexico and became Tropical Depression 14-E in the E. Pacific, but ended up dissipating before becoming a storm.
There are two other systems that started in the Pacific. One existed before 1856 and made it to the Gulf of Mexico. Another Pacific tropical cyclone crossed over central Mexico and also made it to the Gulf sometime after September 9, 1924.[5]
Hurricane Four in 1911 and an unnamed system in 1965 both crossed from the Pacific to the Atlantic, but were only ever tropical depressions while in the Pacific.[1]
In addition, numerous storms have crossed Central America and lost their circulation, but reformed over open waters. Remnants of tropical cyclones have done this as well, for example, the remnants of 2004's Tropical Storm Earl becoming Hurricane Frank in the Pacific.
