For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

The 2018 Atlantic hurricane season had an early start with the
formation of Subtropical Storm Alberto in May.  No tropical cyclones
formed in the basin in June.  Based on a 30-year climatology
(1981-2010), about one named storm forms in the basin by the end of
June about every other year.

In terms of Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE), which measures the
combined strength and duration of tropical storms and hurricanes,
activity in the Atlantic basin so far in 2018 is near normal.

Reports on individual cyclones, when completed, are available at
the National Hurricane Center website at
