The hyperactive Pacific Ocean may yet pull an impressive feat.

On Saturday morning, Tropical Depression Five-E formed off the coast of Mexico becoming the fifth tropical cyclone in the Pacific Basin to be active at one time.

Sometime this weekend, you could even see as many as six tropical cyclones spinning in the Pacific Basin at one time. Although it's not unheard of to see multiple storms at the same time, this is impressive on any scale.

Two western Pacific typhoons -- Chan-hom and Nangka -- are currently in the western Pacific Basin. Earlier in the week, Typhoon Linfa was also in play, before moving inland over far southeast China and spinning down.

According to National Hurricane Center specialist Eric Blake, Wednesday, July 8, marked the first time there had been three typhoons simultaneously in the western Pacific Ocean since Oct. 24, 1994.

Colorado State University's Phil Klotzbach adds it was the earliest occurrence on record of three typhoons in the western Pacific, breaking the old record from July 10, 1972.
