Question: Hurricane Fico was the longest lived hurricane of what hurricane season?
Context: Hurricane Beulah was the second tropical storm, second hurricane, and only major hurricane during the 1967 Atlantic hurricane season.  It tracked through the Caribbean, struck the Yucatán peninsula of Mexico as a major hurricane, and moved west-northwest into the Gulf of Mexico, briefly gaining Category 5 intensity.  It was the strongest hurricane during the 1967 Atlantic hurricane season.  The hurricane made landfall just north of the mouth of the Rio Grande River as a Category 3.  It spawned 115 tornadoes across Texas, which established a new record for the highest amount of tornadoes produced by a tropical cyclone.  Due to its slow movement over Texas, Beulah led to significant flooding.  At the time, Beulah ranked as the second-costliest hurricane on record, having left roughly $1 billion (1967 USD) in damage.  Only Hurricane Betsy two years prior had caused such considerable losses.  Throughout its path, at least 59 people were killed. Hurricane Otto was the first tropical cyclone since Hurricane Cesar–Douglas in 1996 to survive the crossover from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean.  Forming late on November 20 in the southwestern Caribbean Sea, Otto was the fifteenth and final named storm, seventh hurricane and fourth major hurricane of the 2016 Atlantic hurricane season.  It quickly intensified into a strong tropical storm the next day, and on November 23–24, rapidly strengthened into a Category 3 major hurricane, the first in the month of November since Hurricane Paloma in 2008, and the latest date an Atlantic hurricane attained such intensity on record.  Otto made landfall in Nicaragua at peak intensity on November 24, thus becoming the latest hurricane to make landfall in the Atlantic basin since 1851 when records began.  Traveling along the Nicaragua–Costa Rica border, the system rapidly weakened to a tropical storm before emerging over the eastern Pacific Ocean, becoming the final storm of the 2016 Pacific hurricane season as well.  Hostile environmental conditions inhibited reorganization, and Otto subsequently degenerated into an elongated trough on November 26. The 2008 Atlantic hurricane season was a very active hurricane season with sixteen named storms formed, including eight that became hurricanes and five that became major hurricanes.  The season officially started on June 1 and ended on November 30.  These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin.  However, the formation of Tropical Storm Arthur caused the season to start two days early.  This season is the fifth most costly on record, behind only the 2004, 2005, 2012, and 2017 seasons, with over $47.5 billion in damage (2008 USD).  It was the fourth busiest year since 1944 and the only year on record in which a major hurricane existed in every month from July through November in the North Atlantic.  Bertha became the longest lived July tropical cyclone on record for the basin, the first of several long-lived systems during 2008.  The season was devastating for Haiti, where over 800 people were killed by four consecutive tropical cyclones (Fay, Gustav, Hanna, and Ike), especially Hanna, in August and September.  Hurricane Paloma's outer rain bands also made landfall over Haiti.  Ike was also the most destructive storm of the season, as well as the strongest, devastating Cuba as a major hurricane and later making landfall near Galveston, Texas at Category 2 (nearly Category 3) intensity. The 1978 Pacific hurricane season officially began May 15, 1978, in the eastern Pacific, June 1, 1978, in the central Pacific, and officially ended 30 November 1978.  These dates conventionally delimit the period of time when tropical cyclones form in the eastern north Pacific Ocean. The 2003 Atlantic hurricane season was an active Atlantic hurricane season with tropical activity before and after the official bounds of the season – the first such occurrence in 49 years.  The season produced 21 tropical cyclones, of which 16 developed into named storms; seven cyclones attained hurricane status, of which three reached major hurricane status.  With sixteen storms, the season was tied for the sixth most active Atlantic hurricane season on record.  The strongest hurricane of the season was Hurricane Isabel, which reached Category 5 status on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale northeast of the Lesser Antilles; Isabel later struck North Carolina as a Category 2 hurricane, causing $3.6 billion in damage (2003 USD, $  USD) and a total of 51 deaths across the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Hurricane Gloria was the first significant system to strike the northeastern United States since Hurricane Agnes in 1972 and the first major storm to affect New York and Long Island directly since Hurricane Donna in 1960.  It was also the most intense Category 4 hurricane that did not attain Category 5 status until surpassed by Hurricane Opal in the 1995 Atlantic hurricane season.  It was a powerful Cape Verde-type hurricane that formed during the 1985 Atlantic hurricane season, originating from a tropical wave on September 16 in the eastern Atlantic Ocean.  After remaining a weak tropical cyclone for several days, Gloria intensified into a hurricane on September 22 north of the Lesser Antilles.  During that time, the storm had moved generally westward, although it turned to the northwest due to a weakening of the ridge.  Gloria quickly intensified on September 24, and the next day reached peak winds of 145 mph (230 km/h).  The hurricane weakened before striking the Outer Banks of North Carolina on September 27.  Later that day, Gloria made two subsequent landfalls on Long Island and later western Connecticut, before becoming extratropical on September 28 over New England.  The remnants moved through Atlantic Canada, eventually dissipating on October 2. Hurricane Paloma was the third-strongest November Atlantic hurricane on record.  It was the sixteenth tropical storm, eighth hurricane and fifth major hurricane of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season.  A late season hurricane, it set several records for its intensity and formation.  Paloma was the third most powerful November hurricane on record in the Atlantic Basin, behind only a 1932 hurricane and 1999's Lenny.  It also marked the first time that at least one major hurricane formed in every month of the hurricane season from July to November, with only June not having a major hurricane this season. Hurricane David was an extremely deadly hurricane which caused massive devastation and loss of life in the Dominican Republic in August 1979.  A Cape Verde-type hurricane that reached Category 5 hurricane status on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, David was the fourth named tropical cyclone, second hurricane, and first major hurricane of the 1979 Atlantic hurricane season, traversing through the Leeward Islands, Greater Antilles, and East Coast of the United States during late August and early September.  David was the first hurricane to affect the Lesser Antilles since Hurricane Inez in 1966.  With winds of 175 mph (280 km/h), David was the only storm of Category 5 intensity to make landfall on the Dominican Republic in the 20th century and the deadliest since the 1930 Dominican Republic Hurricane, San Zenon, killing over 2,000 people in its path.  The hurricane was the deadliest Dominican tropical cyclone since a hurricane killed over 200 in September of the 1834 season. Hurricane Fico was the longest-lived hurricane of the 1978 Pacific hurricane season and became the longest-lasting Pacific hurricane on record, a record broken by Hurricane Tina fourteen years later.  The sixth tropical storm, fourth hurricane, and third major hurricane, Fico developed from a tropical disturbance off the Pacific coast of Mexico on July 9.  It moved northwestward and then westward, quickly reaching peak winds of 140 mph (220 km/h) on July 12.  Moving nearly due westward, the intensity of Fico fluctuated from Category 1 to Category 4 status on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale for the following days, and it passed about 170 miles (275 km) south of Hawaii on July 20 with winds of 115 mph (185 km/h).  Fico slowly weakened as it turned to the northwest over cooler waters, and became an extratropical cyclone on July 28 to the northeast of Midway Island. The 2007 Atlantic hurricane season was an active Atlantic hurricane season, although most of the storms were weak and short-lived.  However, the 2007 season was the first season to feature more than one Category 5 landfalling hurricane, a feat that would not be matched until 2017.  It produced 17 tropical cyclones, 15 tropical storms, six hurricanes, and two major hurricanes.  It officially started on June 1 and ended on November 30, dates which conventionally delimit the period during which most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic Ocean.  The first tropical cyclone, Subtropical Storm Andrea, developed on May 9, while the last storm, Tropical Storm Olga, dissipated on December 13.  The most intense hurricane, Dean, is tied for the eighth most intense Atlantic hurricane ever recorded as well as the third most intense Atlantic hurricane at landfall.  The season was one of only six on record for the Atlantic with more than one Category 5 hurricane.  It was the second on record in which an Atlantic hurricane, Felix, and an eastern Pacific hurricane, Henriette, made landfall on the same day.  September had a record-tying eight storms, although the strengths and durations of most of the storms were low.  Aside from hurricanes Dean and Felix, none of the storms in the season exceeded Category 1 intensity.
