NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 AM EDT Wed Jul 1 2020
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
Two tropical storms, Arthur and Bertha, formed in the Atlantic
basin in May, and two more tropical storms, Cristobal and Dolly,
formed in June. The season has been considerably more active than
average so far, as a named storm typically forms in June only once
every other year based on the long-term average of basin activity.
In terms of Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE), which measures the
strength and duration of tropical storms and hurricanes, activity
in the basin so far in 2020 is well above average.
Reports on individual cyclones, when completed, are available at
the National Hurricane Center website at
