Monthly Tropical Weather Summary
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 AM EDT Thu Jul 1 2021
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
One tropical storm (Ana) formed in the Atlantic basin in May, and
three tropical storms (Bill, Claudette, and Danny) formed in June.
Claudette and Danny made landfall in the United States as tropical
storms during the month of June. So far, this season has been
considerably more active than average, even compared to the recently
updated 30-year climatology (1991-2020) where a named storm
typically forms about once out of every three years in May and about
once every year in June.
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 2021 is well above average at more than
twice the climatological value.
Reports on individual cyclones, when completed, are available at
the National Hurricane Center website at
