The 2012 Bikini Bottom hurricane season was a destructive and very active hurricane season where tropical cyclones formed near Bikini Bottom, a city located near the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. It began on June 1, 2012, and ended on November 30, 2012. However, if any cyclone formed between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2012, it would have factored into the season total. This season marked the first time an organized list of names was used to name tropical cyclones in this area.
