Monthly Tropical Weather Summary
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 AM EDT Sat Jul 1 2023

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

Three tropical storms (Arlene, Bret, and Cindy) formed in the basin 
during June.  Bret brought tropical-storm-force winds to portions 
of the Lesser Antilles, while Arlene and Cindy remained over open 
water and did not impact land.  So far, seasonal activity has been 
above average based on the 30-year climatology (1991-2020), where a 
named storm typically forms 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 2023 has been above average compared to the 
long-term (1991-2020) mean.

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