… Global atmospheric and hydrological conditions. By 12:00 UTC on May 21, the cyclone had degenerated into a remnant low after convection diminished. [37] Dorian inflicted catastrophic damage in some regions of the Bahamas. However, Tropical Storm Pabuk[1] was the earliest-forming tropical storm of the western Pacific Ocean on record, breaking the previous record held by Typhoon Alice in 1979. Throughout early September, the wave underwent prolonged interaction with an upper-level trough in the central and southwestern Atlantic that culminated in the formation of a tropical depression at 18:00 UTC on September 13 east of Eleuthera in The Bahamas. Maximum sustained winds are near 70 mph (110 kph) with higher gusts. The Eastern Pacific had an average season, although many of the storms were rather weak and short-lived, therefore the number of hurricanes was the least since 2010 (7). The 2020 Hurricane Season's Most Remarkable Moments Nov 30, 2020, 11:00 am EST Early on August 27, Dorian struck Barbados as a very compact cyclone with winds of 50 mph (85 km/h) and then passed over Saint Lucia later that day. In Maryland, flooding from increased high tides from the storm forced street closures in Crisfield and Salisbury. The remnants of Imelda drifted over Texas and Oklahoma for several days before dissipating. The low moved eastward over the western Atlantic during the next day as a large area of convection formed to its east. Moderate Tropical Storm Eketsang killed 27 people in Madagascar in late-January. Tropical Storm Gabrielle lost a bit of steam, but is back to 45 mph and expected to grow into a hurricane. [15] TSR released their second and final mid-season outlook on August 6, with the only changes of increasing the number of named storms from 12 to 13. 2019: The 2019 season yielded 18 named storms, six of which became hurricanes, including three major ones (Category 3 or higher, with maximum sustained winds of at least 111 mph). Strong upper-level winds weakened the storm to a tropical depression late on August 28. How are these and other storms named? The broad low separated from the parent wave, moving slowly northwestward as the wave continued westward across the tropical Atlantic. However, Tropical Storm Pabuk was the earliest-forming tropical storm of the western Pacific Ocean on record, breaking the previous record held by Typhoon Alice in 1979. On the latter, the storm destroyed the commercial port at Lajes Field. August 24, 2019 - Tropical Storm Dorian forms east of the Lesser Antilles. Approximately 5,100 homes suffered water damage in Jefferson County alone, while roughly 3,100 others were damaged in Harris, Liberty, and Montgomery counties combined. Oct. 15, 2019 – NASA Provides a Farewell Infrared View of Extra-Tropical Storm Melissa. The names not retired from this list will be used again in the 2025 season. The United States may get hit by two to four major hurricanes before the end of the 2019 hurricane season. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 30th. However, tropical cyclogenesis is possible at other times of the year, as demonstrated by the formation of Subtropical Storm Andrea on May 20, marking the record fifth consecutive year where a tropical or subtropical cyclone developed before the official start of the season. However, many were weak and short-lived, especially towards the end of the season. However, deep convection increased along the trough early on August 26, and a new low developed, with a tropical depression forming at 12:00 UTC that day about 345 mi (555 km) south-southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. The season became only the seventh to feature multiple Category 5 hurricanes, the others being 1932, 1933, 1961, 2005, 2007, and 2017. Corvo recorded sustained winds of 74 mph (119 km/h) and gusts reaching 101 mph (163 km/h). Instead, Chantal weakened to a tropical depression early on August 22 and ultimately degenerated to a remnant low by 18:00 UTC the next day. [6] On May 6, the Weather Company predicted a slightly-above average season, with 14 named storms, 7 hurricanes, and 3 major hurricanes. A subtropical ridge to the north initially steered the storm westward to west-northwestward. [23] The 2019 season also marked the fourth consecutive year with at least one Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic basin, exceeding the previous record of three seasons between 2003 and 2005. The storm then became extratropical after merging with a cold front about 720 mi (1,160 km) north-northeast of the Azores, before dissipating completely on October 29. An eyewall replacement cycle and intruding dry air caused the storm to weaken to a Category 3 hurricane late on September 27. [18] With eighteen named storms, the season tied with 1969 as the fourth most active since records began. The 2019 Pacific hurricane season was a near average season which produced nineteen named storms, though most were rather weak and short-lived. [87][88] Waves from the storm caused coastal flooding in various parts of the Jersey Shore, including Long Beach Island and Atlantic City. During 2019, tropical cyclones formed within seven different tropical cyclone basins, located within various parts of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. 2:13. The activity of the month in the Eastern Pacific became a record-tying most active in the month between 1966, 1992, 1994, 1997 and 2005 forming six named storms in the basin. [77] Several roads were blocked due to mudslides and downed trees. The remnants of Tropical Rainstorm Imelda, which made landfall about 65 miles southeast of the city Tuesday, has dropped 40 inches of rain in the greater Houston area -- … Tropical Storm Olga was a short-lived tropical cyclone that caused unexpected severe damage as a non-tropical system along its track across the Central United States in late October 2019. Erin then turned sharply northwestward as the mid-level high weakened and a subtropical ridge strengthened to its northeast. Naming progresses through the year with names assigned in alphabetical order. The system weakened to a tropical storm later on July 13 and to a tropical depression early on July 15, before transitioning into a remnant low over Arkansas by 12:00 UTC on July 15. Dorian peaked with a strength of 185 miles per hour, and peaked at an intensity of 910 hPa/mbar. The month of January was inactive, with only eight tropical cyclones forming, of which five were named. Ahead of and during the season, several national meteorological services and scientific agencies forecast how many named storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher on the Saffir–Simpson scale) will form during a season and/or how many tropical cyclones will affect a particular country. Additionally, Tropical Cyclone Rita became the first cyclone of the 2019-20 South Pacific cyclone season. A weakening high pressure area to the north and collapsing steering currents caused Dorian to move very slowly. Several stations reported rates greater than 1.2 in (30 mm), resulting in increased runoff, causing flash floods and the wash out of roads. The second storm is given the name that begins with a "B." Tropical Storm Akoni was the first storm of the Central Pacific, as well as the second time the name has been used; the first usage was in 1982. [18] On September 29, Lorenzo became the easternmost Category 5 hurricane on record. The wave headed westward with intermittent convection, reaching the Caribbean on October 17 and Central America by October 22. Information is preliminary and could change with the release of the National Hurricane Center's final report of Tropical Storm Nestor (found here when available).. This is because when systems move between basins, it creates a discrepancy in the actual number of fatalities. Homes, roads, bridges, and at least 400 schools were damaged. At 03:00 UTC on September 29, the cyclone peaked as a Category 5 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 160 mph (260 km/h). However, Ambali became the strongest storm of the month, peaking with a minimum central pressure of 930 millibars and maximum sustained winds of 155 mph (250 km/h), thus becoming the first very intense tropical cyclone in the basin since Fantala in 2016 and also becoming the first cyclone of the 2019-20 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season. Two storms became Category 5 hurrican… If the system becomes a tropical storm, it would be named Humberto. Approximately 87 percent of the damage nationwide occurred in the Abaco Islands, where the storm struck at peak intensity and generated winds of at least tropical storm-force for more than three days. Around 75 percent of homes there were damaged to some degree. Tropical Storm Imelda dumped prolific amounts of rain across parts of southeastern Texas in September 2019, leading to catastrophic flooding and prompting evacuations. Fernand also dumped heavy rainfall over South Texas. Deep convection formed around the center of the new low on October 30 due to increased atmospheric instability despite sea surface temperatures of only 70 °F (21 °C), leading to the development of Subtropical Storm Rebekah at 12:00 UTC. The following afternoon, NHC designated Nestor the 14th named storm of the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season and just 24 hours later, Nestor made landfall on St. Vincent Island … Damage and deaths include totals while the storm was extratropical, a tropical wave, or a low, and all the damage figures are in USD. Yap, Philippines, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Southwestern Mexico, Western Mexico, Revillagigedo Islands, Baja California Peninsula, Mariana Islands, Taiwan, Japan, East China, South Korea, This page was last edited on 6 December 2020, at 20:13. Severe Tropical Storm (later Typhoon) Tapah (Nimfa) worsened the flooding situation in the Philippines. the 2019 Pacific typhoon season featured 51 tropical depressions, 29 tropical storms, 17 typhoons, and 4 (unofficial) super typhoons, with 3 attaining Category 5 status. Though the nascent tropical cyclone tracked northwest in an environment of moderate southwesterly wind shear and dry mid-level air, it intensified into Tropical Storm Gabrielle six hours after genesis. Cyclone Kenneth became the most intense tropical cyclone to make landfall in Mozambique on record. As a result, Karen weakened to a tropical depression on September 27 and dissipated about six hours later approximately 345 mi (555 km) southeast of Bermuda. An EF1 tornado in Harris County ripped off a metal roof and a few tree branches while destroying a barn. Additionally, before becoming the last typhoon of the 2019 Pacific typhoon season, Typhoon Phanfone made a devastating landfall in the Philippines on Christmas Eve causing over ₱3,39 billion (US$67.2 million) in damage and leaving 50 people in the nation dead. April was an inactive month with six cyclones forming, of which four were named. Tropical Storm Sebastien has stubbornly refused to follow the script. [2] Moderate Tropical Storm Eketsang killed 27 people in Madagascar in late-January. Deep convection coalesced within curved bands around the center, leading to the formation of Tropical Storm Fernand around 12:00 UTC on September 3. ... Mon September 23, 2019 . [75], With the formation of Karen, tropical storm warnings and red alerts were issued for Trinidad and Tobago. Potential tropical cyclones are not included in this table. Imelda drifted slowly northward once inland, weakening to a tropical depression by 00:00 UTC on September 18 and degenerating into a trough 24 hours later. Not another typhoon was experienced until Typhoon Francisco formed in early August. [8] Idai was also the costliest cyclone in the South-West Indian Ocean basin, inflicting more than $2 billion (USD) in damages. August 28, 2019 - Dorian becomes a hurricane. Elsewhere, in Tamaulipas, 12 in (300 mm) of rain fell in 48 hours, leading to some localized flooding. [21] No storms formed in the month of June, but activity resumed in July when Hurricane Barry developed on July 11 and Tropical Depression Three formed on July 22. [81] People who were living in flood-prone areas were asked to seek shelter. Tracking north-northeastward, the cyclone eventually began interacting with a surface trough and encountered strong wind shear again. Widespread but minor wind and flood damage occurred across southern Louisiana. However, Typhoon Halong became the strongest storm of the year, peaking with a minimum central pressure of 905 millibars. As many as 600 buildings—including L.F. Wade International Airport, Royal Naval Dockyard, and the Bermuda Weather Service—suffered damage,[69][70][71] around 28,000 customers were left without power,[67] and the island's banana crop suffered a 90 percent loss. Hurricanes Erick and Flossie each passed near the Hawaiian Islands but neither produced significant impacts. The record is tied with the Great 1935 Labor Day hurricane. Ultimately, activity in regards to number of named storms exceeded all forecasts, but the number of hurricanes and major hurricanes remained within the predicted range. However, many were weak and short-lived, especially towards the end of the season. Melissa soon merged with a nearby front and became extratropical by 12:00 UTC about 370 mi (595 km) south of Cape Race. The North Atlantic Ocean experienced their fourth-most active season on record, tied with 1969, at 18 named storms. [78] It was also announced that all schools would be closed on September 23. The eleventh tropical cyclone and ninth named storm of the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season, Imelda formed out of an upper-level low that developed in the Gulf of Mexico and moved westward. Based on the aircraft data and the structure of the system, the system became Subtropical Storm Andrea at 18:00 UTC on May 20 about 370 mi (595 km) southwest of Bermuda. Early the following day, a concentrated area of deep convection developed, resulting in the formation of a tropical depression just east of Andros at 12:00 UTC on July 22. Hurricane Tracking 2020 2020 hurricane tracking center and tropical storm watches for the Atlantic - which provides up-to-date information on the forecast position, wind speeds, and outlook with radar maps and images, as well as alerts and advisories for tropical storm and hurricane … The system developed a closed center of circulation and became a tropical depression around 00:00 UTC on September 22 roughly 115 mi (185 km) east of Trinidad. Three hours later, Barry made landfall near Intracoastal City, Louisiana. Olga moved north-northeastward and peaked with winds of 45 mph (75 km/h). The mountainous terrain of Saint Lucia disrupted the storm's circulation, though a new circulation formed farther to the north. [86] In Delaware, waves from the storm caused beach erosion and flooded streets in Bethany Beach while homes and streets were flooded in Dewey Beach. [52] The storm also destroyed 20-25 percent of the state's tobacco crop. The North Atlantic Ocean experienced their fourth-most active season on record, tied with 1969, at 18 named storms. The 2019 season officially began on June 1, 2019. Lorenzo, which became the easternmost Category 5 Atlantic hurricane on record, caused 14 deaths after sinking the French tugboat Bourbon Rhode and 8 other fatalities from rough surf along the East Coast of the United States. The low continued north-northeastward until degenerating into a trough over Missouri on the next day. By 18:00 UTC on August 20, the small system gained enough organization to be declared a tropical depression about 370 mi (595 km) southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Hurricane Pablo became the easternmost Atlantic storm to ever strengthen into a hurricane, breaking Hurricane Vince’s record. [46] Six deaths occurred in the state. [37][38] In the British Virgin Islands, the storm caused flood and wind damage in the outskirts of Road Town. [30], Barry caused one fatality when a man killed by a rip current off the coast of the Florida Panhandle on July 15. [51] Dare County was particularly hard hit, with 1,126 structures damaged. The 2019 Atlantic cyclone season is showing no signs of letting up. A weak and broad area of low pressure formed near western Cuba on August 30 and drifted slowly west across the Gulf of Mexico. This breaks the old record of named storm formations prior to 1 June in four consecutive years set in 1951–1954", Tropical Cyclone Report: Tropical Storm Chantal, "Hurricane Dorian Becomes the 5th Atlantic Category 5 in 4 Years", "Hurricane Lorenzo hit Category 5 strength the farthest northeast on record in the Atlantic", "#Pablo is now a #hurricane. The latest hurricane watches and warnings for the Atlantic Basin. Dry air and strong wind shear weakened Karen back to a tropical depression early on September 23 as it turned northward, before re-intensifying into a tropical storm about 24 hours later after encountering favorable conditions again. The future track of this system is very uncertain. Six of those named storms achieved hurricane status, while three intensified into major hurricanes. Cyclone Bulbul caused extensive damage in West Bengal during the early period of the month, with damage estimates likely exceeding over US$2.5 billion. A weak trough formed in the vicinity of this feature and moved toward the west, ultimately leading to the formation of a tropical depression around 12:00 UTC a short distance southwest of Freeport, Texas, despite the NHC estimating a low chance of tropical cyclone development. The sixteenth depression and fourteenth named storm of the erratic 2019 Atlantic hurricane season, Nestor originated from a broad area of low pressure over the Western Caribbean. Hurricane Dorian was the strongest tropical cyclone for the basin in 2019. After reaching peak intensity, Lorenzo began weakening due to upwelling and rapidly increasing southwesterly wind shear. On average, an Atlantic hurricane season between 1981 and 2010 contained twelve tropical storms, six hurricanes, and three major hurricanes, with an accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) index of between 66 and 103 units. [9], Activity began before the official start of the season when Subtropical Storm Andrea formed on May 20. The remnant low moved east-northeastward through the following day until being absorbed by a cold front about 24 hours later roughly 70 mi (115 km) southwest of Bermuda. Dorian is the record-tying strongest landfalling Atlantic hurricane. Some of these forecasts also take into consideration what happened in previous seasons and the state of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO). [31] In Mississippi, abnormally high tides caused minor coastal flooding in the vicinity of Biloxi. The measure is calculated at full advisories for cyclones at tropical storm strength — storms with winds in excess of 39 mph (63 km/h). [84], After completing the eyewall replacement cyclone, Lorenzo underwent a second bout of rapid intensification. A tropical depression briefly reached tropical storm intensity near Japan on 27 June, and was named Sepat. Earlier Monday, the National Hurricane Center said the disturbance had a 60% chance of developing into a tropical depression or storm by Wednesday. However, an approaching mid- to upper-level trough and associated frontal system caused Nestor to become elongated and left little convection near the center. [18] Dorian peaked as a Category 5 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 185 mph (295 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 910 mbar (27 inHg). Barbara's remnants did eventually reach Hawaii, but little to no damage was reported. Tropical Depression Twenty-One-E concluded the season when it dissipated on November 17. [75] Puerto Rico governor Wanda Vázquez Garced declared a state of emergency on September 23 and ordered schools and government offices. Hurricane tracking maps, current sea temperatures, and more. Barbara encountered large portions of wind shear and weakened very rapidly. [32] Damage from Barry totaled roughly $600 million. Tropical Storm Jerry has formed in the Atlantic and could become a hurricane later this week . 2019 Atlantic Hurricane season expected to pack some punch. Andrea, Melissa, and Rebekah were the only storms to become subtropical storms through… [33], Numerous thunderstorms developed across South Florida on July 23 in association with the tropical depression. A decrease in upper-level winds led to the formation of a well-defined inner core, and Gabrielle attained peak winds of 65 mph (100 km/h) on September 8. Landslides were reported near the state's capital, Monterrey. [28], An upper-level trough originating in the mid-latitudes cut off into a broad upper-level low over Florida on May 17. Hurricane Humberto produced extensive damage in Bermuda, totaling at least $25 million. It also is now the costliest Pacific typhoon season on record, breaking the record set by just the previous year (2018). Six hours later, the depression intensified into Tropical Storm Chantal. Hurricane Pablo became the easternmost hurricane formation on record, beating 2005's Hurricane Vince. That puts the center of Alvin about 535 miles (860 km) southwest of the southern tip of Baja California, Mexico. The names Imelda, Nestor, and Rebekah were used for the first time this year. Heavy rainfall also extended eastward into Louisiana, though flooding impact was mostly minor. The 2019 Atlantic hurricane season was the fourth consecutive above-average and damaging season dating back to 2016. Typhoon Halong became the most intense of the season, as well as the most intense of the whole year, peaking at 905 hPa. [30] Flooding damaged a number of homes, businesses, and roads in a narrow swath of southwestern Arkansas, while several roadways were closed, including a portion of Interstate 30. This is because when systems move between basins, it creates a discrepancy in the actual number of systems. [12] On July 4, the TSR released their first mid-season outlook, still retaining their numbers from the previous forecast. Andrea struck the Texas-Louisiana region, causing some damage. [2], The first forecast for the year was released by TSR on December 11, 2018, which predicted a slightly below-average season in 2019, with a total of 12 named storms, 5 hurricanes, and 2 major hurricanes, due to the anticipated presence of El Niño conditions during the season. After the year's longest period without any cyclone activity, the first system in the Arabian Sea for the 2019 North Indian Ocean cyclone season formed on June 10. Barry struck the east coast of Florida during the early part of the month. It moved north-northeast, transitioning into an extratropical … However, environmental conditions caused deep convection to decrease substantially shortly after formation. Pablo is a tropical cyclone that formed late on Oct. 25 and strengthened into a hurricane for a short time before weakening again into a tropical storm. Late in the month, Hurricane Alvin became the first tropical cyclone of the Eastern Pacific hurricane season, marking the latest start to the season since reliable records began in 1971. Little development occurred until the system … With Dorian and Lorenzo both intensifying into Category 5 hurricanes, the season became one of seven seasons to feature multiple Category 5 hurricanes. Tropical Depression Three as of 5 pm on July 22nd, 2019 NOAA/NHC My fellow meteorologists and I have been keeping an eye on this system for several days so it doesn't come as a surprise to any of us. After turning sharply northeast, the storm continued to intensify. Hurricane Dorian became the first major hurricane of the 2019 Atlantic season when it made landfall as a Category 5 hurricane on Sept. 1 in the Bahamas. [23] In Canada, the extratropical remnants of Dorian left about 412,000 customers without power in Nova Scotia and another 80,000 in New Brunswick, with the former representing approximately 80 percent of the province. 3 Only systems that formed either before or on December 31, 2019 are counted in the seasonal totals.4 The wind speeds for this tropical cyclone/basin are based on the IMD Scale which uses 3-minute sustained winds. The month of January was inactive, with only eight tropical cyclones forming, of which five were named. Tropical Storm Fernand left flooding in Mexico, with approximately $11.3 million in damage and one death. This made Lorenzo the easternmost Category 5 Atlantic hurricane on record. During the year, a total of 150 systems formed with 102 of these developing further and were named by the responsible warning centre. Strengthening further, the cyclone became a Category 5 hurricane at 12:00 UTC on September 1, a few hours prior to making landfall on Elbow Cay in the Abaco Islands with winds of 185 mph (295 km/h); Dorian became the strongest tropical cyclone on record to strike the Bahamas. [11] The University of Arizona (UA) predicted on June 11 that the season would feature above-average activity – 16 named storms, 8 hurricanes, 3 major hurricanes, and accumulated cyclone energy index of 150 units. The Weather Channel meteorologist Jim Cantore offers some helpful hints on how to get your home ready for tropical weather. The extratropical low was absorbed by a larger non-tropical feature eighteen hours later. After emerging into the Atlantic on August 28, Dorian eventually began moving west-northwestward due to an upper-level low moving to the south and a subtropical ridge expanding westward. The season officially began on June 1 and ended on November 30. [56], On August 20, a large upper-level trough with a large area of disorganized convection formed over the southwestern Atlantic. Then, Typhoon Hagibis was the costliest typhoon of the season, when it made landfall in Japan as a Category 1 typhoon, US$15 billion was inflicted, making it the costliest pacific typhoon on record (unadjusted for 2020 inflation). [95] The fourth tornado, rated EF0, caused no damage in Brevard County. It is tied with 1969 as the fifth-most active Atlantic hurricane season on record in terms of named storms,[nb 1] with 18 named storms and 20 tropical cyclones in total. Convection increased slightly as the wave entered the eastern Caribbean on October 8. The season concluded with Tropical Storm Sebastien, which became extratropical on November 24. Weather Underground provides tracking maps, 5-day forecasts, computer models, satellite imagery and detailed storm statistics for tracking and forecasting Tropical Storm … Most of the storms were weak and short-lived, possibly because of moderately high wind shear that persisted throughout the season. It includes their duration, names, affected areas, damages, and death totals. A strong ridge steered the system west-northwest for several days. Jerry fell to tropical storm intensity early on September 21, and it degenerated to a post-tropical cyclone by 18:00 UTC on September 24 roughly 280 mi (450 km) west-southwest of Bermuda, having lost organized deep convection over its center. The Eastern portions of the Pacific Ocean was only moderately active, likely because of a weakening El Nino trend that started in Late July. The strongest tropical cyclone of the year was Typhoon Halong, which was estimated to have a minimum barometric pressure of 905 hPa (26.72 inHg), Halong also has the highest wind-speed, with 1-minute sustained wind speed of 190 mph (305 km/h). Rebekah became extratropical once again on November 1 at 06:00 UTC and dissipated later that day about 115 mi (185 km) north of the Azores. The most active basin in the year was the Western Pacific, which documented 29 named systems. [67], Breezy winds and light rainfall were recorded in The Bahamas, where Dorian caused devastation two weeks prior. A depression has … Embedded within the mid-latitude flow, the cyclone accelerated northeastward and transitioned into an extratropical cyclone late on September 7. [9] Overall, the Atlantic tropical cyclones of 2019 collectively resulted in 116 deaths and around $11.62 billion in damage. Prior to the 1950s, meteorologists kept track of hurricanes and tropical storms by the year and the storms’ order for that year. [74], Imelda brought catastrophic flooding to Southeast Texas, with a peak total of 44.29 in (1,125 mm) near Fannett. The public TSR web site provides forecasts and information to benefit basic risk awareness and decision making from tropical storms. The depression quickly intensified into Tropical Storm Imelda three hours later and peaked with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (75 km/h) before striking Freeport at 17:45 UTC. Out of all the cyclones, Hurricane Lorenzo in the Atlantic is the most intense of the month and become one of the largest and most powerful category 5 hurricanes on record for the central tropical Atlantic in the satellite era. Activity during the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season concluded when Sebastien transitioned into an extratropical cyclone on November 24. [89] Rainfall accumulations from the system peaked at 3.43 in (87 mm) in Nantucket, Massachusetts. [12] Kenneth killed 48 people, of which 41 were killed in the country of Mozambique. The 2019 season was the record fourth consecutive season to feature at least one Category 5 hurricane. Tropical Storm Risk (TSR) offers a leading resource for predicting and mapping tropical storm activity worldwide. Most of the storms were weak and short-lived, possibly because of moderately high wind shear that persisted throughout the season. [9] TSR released an updated forecast on May 30, which increased the number of forecast hurricanes from 5 to 6. It is tied with 1969 as the fifth-most active Atlantic hurricane seasonon record in terms of named storms, with 18 named storms and 20 tropical cyclones in total. The North Atlantic basin featured a record fifth consecutive year for tropical or subtropical development before the month of June, which the record continues when Tropical Storms Arthur and Bertha form on May 16 and 27, 2020, yet marking the sixth year of tropical development before the season actually starts.
