For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
Tropical cyclone activity in the Atlantic basin during the month of
September was very busy and set a record for the most named storms
forming in a month. Ten named storms formed, with Omar forming from
a tropical depression that began in late August. Four of the storms
became hurricanes with one, Hurricane Teddy, reaching major
hurricane strength. Based on a 30-year climatology (1981-2010),
four named storms typically form in the basin in September, with
three of them becoming hurricanes, and one of them becoming a major
hurricane.
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 has also been above average, about 25
percent above the long-term mean.
Reports on individual cyclones, when completed, are available at
