The 2022 Atlantic hurricane season is the current cycle of the annual tropical cyclone season in the Atlantic Ocean in the Northern Hemisphere. The season officially began on June 1, and will end on November 30. These dates, adopted by convention, historically describe the period in each year when most subtropical or tropical cyclogenesis occurs in the Atlantic Ocean.[1] This year's first named storm, Tropical Storm Alex, developed five days after the start of the season, making this the first season since 2014 not to have a pre-season named storm.[2] Through September 10, the mid-point of the hurricane season, there have been 6 named storms, of which 2 have become hurricanes; but for the first time since the 2014 season there have been no major hurricanes[nb 1] as of the season's halfway point.[4]

In July, Tropical Storm Bonnie formed and quickly made landfall along the Costa Rica–Nicaragua border. It then crossed over into the Pacific basin a day later, becoming the first to survive the crossover from the Atlantic to the Pacific since Hurricane Otto in 2016. The same day as Bonnie's crossover, Tropical Storm Colin unexpectedly formed inland over coastal South Carolina. It quickly weakened and dissipated the next day after moving into coastal North Carolina. Following this activity, tropical cyclogenesis was suppressed across the basin for several weeks by a combination of high wind shear, drier air, and the presence of the Saharan Air Layer.[5] As a result, this was the first season since 1997 in which no tropical cyclones formed in August, and the first season on record to do so during a La Niña year.[6] After a 60-day lull in tropical cyclone activity, Hurricanes Danielle and Earl formed on September 1 and 3 respectively, with Danielle becoming the season's first hurricane. The last season to have its first hurricane develop this late was 2013.[7]

In advance of, and during, each hurricane season, several forecasts of hurricane activity are issued by national meteorological services, scientific agencies, and noted hurricane experts. These include forecasters from the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s Climate Prediction Center, Tropical Storm Risk (TSR), the United Kingdom's Met Office (UKMO), and Philip J. Klotzbach, William M. Gray and their associates at Colorado State University (CSU). The forecasts include weekly and monthly changes in significant factors that help determine the number of tropical storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes within a particular year. According to NOAA and CSU, the average Atlantic hurricane season between 1991 and 2020 contained roughly 14 tropical storms, seven hurricanes, three major hurricanes, and an accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) index of 72–111 units.[28] Broadly speaking, ACE is a measure of the power of a tropical or subtropical storm multiplied by the length of time it existed. It is only calculated for full advisories on specific tropical and subtropical systems reaching or exceeding wind speeds of 39 mph (63 km/h).[3] NOAA typically categorizes a season as above-average, average, or below-average based on the cumulative ACE index, but the number of tropical storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes within a hurricane season is sometimes also considered.[3]

Pre-season forecasts

On December 9, 2021, CSU issued an extended range forecast for the 2022 hurricane season, giving a 40% chance of near-average activity with 13–16 named storms, 6–8 hurricanes, 2–3 major hurricanes, and an ACE index of about 130 units. The forecast also gave a 25% chance that the ACE Index would end up being around 170 units, and a 25% likelihood the likelihood that the index would end up around 80.[9] TSR also issued an extended range forecast on December 10, 2021.[10] It predicted overall near-average tropical activity with its ACE index, however, anticipating 18 tropical storms, 8 hurricanes and 3 intense hurricanes to form during the season. One of their factors was the expectation of a neutral El Niño-Southern Oscillation condition by the third quarter of 2022. However, they said that this outlook had "large uncertainties".[10]

On April 7, CSU issued their first extended range seasonal forecast for the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season, predicting well above-average activity, with 19 named storms, 9 hurricanes, 4 major hurricanes and an ACE index of 160 units. Their factors supporting an active hurricane season included above average-sea surface temperatures in the subtropical Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, and a cool neutral ENSO or weak La Niña pattern, corresponding to a low chance of an El Niño.[29] On April 14, 2022, University of Arizona (UA) issued its seasonal prediction for a slightly above-average hurricane season, with 14 named storms, seven hurricanes, three major hurricanes, and an ACE index of 129 units.[14] North Carolina State University (NCSU) made its prediction for the season on April 20, calling for an above-average season with 17 to 21 named storms, 7 to 9 hurricanes, and 3 to 5 major hurricanes.[15]

On May 23, UKMO issued their own forecast for the 2022 season, predicting an above average season with 18 named storms, 9 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes, with a 70% chance that each of these statistics will fall between 13 and 23, 6 and 12, and 2 and 6, respectively.[17] The following day, NOAA's Climate Prediction Center issued their forecasts for the season, predicting a 65% chance of above-average activity and 25% chance for below-average activity, with 14–21 named storms, 6–10 hurricanes, and 3–6 major hurricanes.[18]

Mid-season forecasts

On June 2, CSU updated their extended range seasonal forecast, increasing the amount of tropical cyclones to 20 named storms, 10 hurricanes, 5 major hurricanes, and an overall ACE index of 180 units. This was done after later analysis of lower chances of an El Niño during the season, as well as a warmer than average tropical Atlantic.[30] On June 20, 2022, University of Arizona (UA) updated its seasonal prediction, which is very similar to its April prediction, with 15 named storms, seven hurricanes, three major hurricanes, and an ACE index of 131 units.[22] On July 5, TSR released their third forecast for the season, slightly increasing their numbers to 18 named storms, 9 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes. This prediction was largely based on the persistence of the weak La Niña into the third quarter of the year.[23] On July 7, CSU did not make changes to their updated prediction of 20 named storms, 10 hurricanes, and 5 major hurricanes.[24] UKMO's updated forecast on August 2 called for 16 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes.[25] Two days later, NOAA and CSU each revised their activity outlook slightly downward, though both still predicted that the season would end up being busier than the 30-year average. The revisions were made in part because of the relative slow start to the season (as compared to the past couple), with only three short-lived named storms as of the start of August.[26]

The 2022 season was the first season since 2014 to not have a pre-season named storm.[31] Activity began with the formation of Tropical Storm Alex on June 5, after several days of slow development while traversing the Gulf of Mexico and then moving over Central Florida. The storm peaked at near-hurricane strength before becoming extratropical over the Central North Atlantic. At the beginning of July, Tropical Storm Bonnie formed in the Southern Caribbean Sea and made landfall shortly thereafter near the Costa Rica–Nicaragua border. It then crossed over into the into the Pacific basin a day later, the first storm to do so since Hurricane Otto in 2016,[32] where it would become a category 3 hurricane. On the same day that Bonnie crossed over, a low-pressure system over coastal South Carolina abruptly organized into Tropical Storm Colin. It would be a short-lived storm as it became disorganized shortly after forming and dissipated the next day over eastern North Carolina. Tropical activity then ceased, with no tropical cyclones forming in almost two months. It became the first season to not have a tropical cyclone form in August since 1997.[33] One disturbance over the Gulf of Mexico during the middle of the month was briefly designated as a potential tropical cyclone, but it did not organize into a tropical cyclone before moving inland over Northeastern Mexico.

Tropical activity ultimately resumed with the formation of Tropical Storm Danielle over the Central Atlantic on September 1. The storm intensified a hurricane the following day, the latest "first hurricane of the season" since 2013.[34] It remained nearly stationary far to the west of the Azores for several days before moving northeastward and becoming extratropical on September 8 without affecting any land areas. Additionally, a slow-developing disturbance east of the Lesser Antilles became organized and developed into Tropical Storm Earl late on September 2–3.[35] It strengthened into a hurricane, tracked east of Bermuda, fluctuating between Category 1 and 2 intensity, and then became extratropical near Newfoundland on September 10. Four days later, Tropical Storm Fiona formed in the Central Atlantic.

This season's ACE index as of 21:00 UTC on September 15, as calculated by Colorado State University using data from the NHC, is approximately 30.6 units.[36] This number represents the sum of the squares of the maximum sustained wind speed (knots) for all named storms while they are at least tropical storm intensity, divided by 10,000. Therefore, tropical depressions are not included.[37]

On May 31, a large low-pressure area developed near the Yucatán Peninsula, partially related to the Pacific basin remnants of Hurricane Agatha interacting with an upper-level trough over the Gulf of Mexico.[38] The low moved eastward over the Yucatán Peninsula, producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms over the peninsula and northwestern Caribbean Sea on June 1–2.[39] Due to the threat the developing system posed to Cuba, the Florida Keys and South Florida, the National Hurricane Center initiated advisories on it, designating it as Potential Tropical Cyclone One at 21:00 UTC on June 2.[40] As it proceeded northeastward over the Gulf of Mexico, the disturbance was being buffeted by 25–35 mph (35–55 km/h) southwesterly shear, which limited its ability to intensify. On June 3, two Hurricane Hunters missions into the system found deep convection ongoing near and to the east of the estimated center, but no conclusive evidence of a closed circulation.[41][42] Early the following day, the broad and poorly-defined center of the disturbance moved over southwestern Florida.[43] Then, after moving into the Atlantic later that same day, a well-defined center formed with sufficient convection, resulting in it being upgraded to Tropical Storm Alex at 06:00 UTC on June 5.[44] The storm intensified some later that same day, attaining sustained winds of 70 mph (110 km/h) as it passed west of Bermuda.[45] Soon thereafter, Alex began its extra-tropical transition, and by 21:00 UTC on June 6, the system had become a post-tropical cyclone.[46]

While a potential tropical cyclone, what would later become Alex produced significant rainfall across western Cuba and South Florida, which resulted in flash flooding across both regions. During a 30 hour period on June 2–3, Paso Real de San Diego in the province of Pinar del Río recorded about 12 inches (301 mm) of rain, and Playa Girón in Matanzas received over 8 inches (193 mm).[47] There were four storm related deaths in Cuba,[48][49] and numerous homes and bridges were damaged by the flooding.[50] Between 7:00 a.m. local time on June 3, and 10:00 p.m. the following day, Miami saw just over 11 inches (28 cm) of rain, while Hollywood had just over 9 inches (23 cm). Naples, near where the storm's estimated center came onshore, also had close to 9 inches (23 cm).[49] Across Broward County and Miami-Dade County, there were a combined 3,543 power outages.[51]

Tropical Storm Bonnie

DurationJuly 1 – July 2 (Exited basin)
Peak intensity50 mph (85 km/h) (1-min);
997 mbar (hPa)
Main article: Hurricane Bonnie (2022)

A tropical wave moved off the northwest coast of Africa south of 10°N on June 23, producing a large but disorganized area of showers and thunderstorms.[52][53] The low-level wind circulation associated with the system became better defined[54] and thunderstorm activity increased[55] on June 25–26, as it moved along a west to west-northwesterly track toward the southernmost Windward Islands. A NOAA Hurricane Hunters mission on June 27, reported tropical-storm-strength winds on the north side of the disturbance, but indicated that it had not yet shown a well-defined closed circulation. Although it could not yet be classified as a tropical cyclone, due to the threat the system posed to the Lesser Antilles, the National Hurricane Center initiated advisories on it as Potential Tropical Cyclone Two later that same day.[56][57] Later, after moving through the southern Windward Islands late on June 28, the disturbance sped west at 26 mph (43 km/h) toward the coast of South America.[58] Over the next couple of days, the system passed just to the north of Venezuela, where it was hindered from developing a distinct low-level circulation due to its fast forward speed and its interaction with land. Yet all the while it generated sustained winds of tropical-storm strength.[59] As the disturbance moved toward Central America on the morning of July 1, it became sufficiently organized to be classified as a tropical storm and was given the name Bonnie.[60] Embedded in a low-shear and warm SST environment, Bonnie started to steadily intensify.[61] At 03:00 UTC on July 2, Bonnie made landfall near the Costa Rica–Nicaragua border at its peak intensity within the Atlantic with sustained winds of 50 mph (85 km/h).[62] Bonnie then crossed Central America and exited into the Eastern Pacific basin 12 hours later.[63]

Bonnie and its precursor disturbance produced gusty winds and heavy rainfall as it tracked through the southern Caribbean Sea.[59] In Nicaragua, authorities reported four deaths in relation to the storm.[64]

Tropical Storm Colin

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationJuly 2 – July 3
Peak intensity40 mph (65 km/h) (1-min);
1011 mbar (hPa)

An area of low pressure formed offshore of Savannah, Georgia, on the morning of July 1, and moved inland across coastal South Carolina later that same day. During this time the system unexpectedly developed with persistent deep convection forming close to the center and quickly becoming well organized.[65] On July 2, at 09:00 UTC, Tropical Storm Colin formed about 50 mi (80 km) southwest of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, with sustained winds of 40 mph (65 km/h) and an estimated central pressure of 1011 mbar (29.9 inHg).[66] The storm became increasingly disorganized later that day, with its circulation becoming elongated from north-northeast to south-southwest.[67] By 03:00 UTC on July 3, after passing Wilmington, North Carolina, Colin had weakened to a tropical depression.[68] The system dissipated over eastern North Carolina nine hours later.[69]

Most of Colin's heavy rains and strong winds remained out over the Atlantic due to its proximity to the coast and northwesterly shear of around 25 mph (35 km/h).[70] Rainfall totals inland ranged from 2–3 in (51–76 mm) in parts of the Midlands of South Carolina to near 7 in (180 mm) near Charleston, South Carolina.[71] A Fourth of July weekend event in Charleston was cancelled because of flooding at the event site, as was a festival in Southport, North Carolina.[72] Winds from Colin's remnants produced high surf along the North Carolina coast on July 3, and one man drowned at a beach in Oak Island.[73][74]

Hurricane Danielle

Category 1 hurricane (SSHWS)
 
DurationSeptember 1 – September 8
Peak intensity90 mph (150 km/h) (1-min);
972 mbar (hPa)

On August 30, an area of low pressure formed along a decaying frontal zone over the central subtropical Atlantic.[75] The disturbance quickly organized and developed into Tropical Depression Five early on September 1 before strengthening into Tropical Storm Danielle later that evening.[76] The storm continued to strengthen and became a Category 1 hurricane on September 2.[77] It stalled the following day, however, caught south of a blocking high, and weakened back into a tropical storm due to upwelling of cooler waters and some dry air.[78] Later, the storm began drifting toward the west, where it again strengthened into a hurricane overnight September 3–4.[79] After turning northwestward, Danielle's reached its peak intensity with sustained winds of 90 mph (150 km/h) early on September 5,[80] However, Danielle then moved over a relatively cool part of the Gulf Stream and weakened to a low-end Category 1 hurricane.[81] Danielle briefly re-intensified when it moved over marginally warm waters on September 7, but resumed a weakening trend shortly afterwards.[82] Danielle weakened to a tropical storm on September 8[83] before transitioning into an extratropical cyclone later that day.[84]

Hurricane Earl

Category 2 hurricane (SSHWS)
 
DurationSeptember 3 – September 10
Peak intensity105 mph (165 km/h) (1-min);
954 mbar (hPa)

A tropical wave producing widespread disorganized showers and thunderstorms moved off the west coast of Africa on August 25.[85] After moving across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic, the disturbance encountered environmental conditions east of the Leeward Islands that were only marginally conducive for tropical cyclone development.[86] After struggling against high wind shear for several days, the disturbance was finally able to become better organized and developed into Tropical Storm Earl early on September 3.[87] A burst of deep convection occurred near Earl's center during the evening of September 5, and a Hurricane Hunters mission into the storm later that night reported that it briefly strengthened to very near hurricane strength.[88] Earl's intensity continued to fluctuate throughout much of the next day due to continued effects of westerly deep-layer shear.[89] Late that same day however, the shear began to quickly diminish, and Earl became better organized, strengthening into a hurricane around 00:00 UTC on September 7.[90] By 03:00 UTC on September 8, Earl reached Category 2 strength while moving northward; Hurricane Hunters data showed it to have an eye of almost 60 mi (90 km) and a fairly symmetric wind field.[91] Three hours later the hurricane attained peak sustained winds of 105 mph (165 km/h).[92] However, despite being forecasted to further strengthen into a Category 4 hurricane, Earl's inner core began to be repeatedly interrupted due to dry air entrainment and it fluctuated in strength the following day while passing well to the east of Bermuda despite being over very warm sea surface temperatures of around 84–86 °F (28–29 °C).[93] It briefly weakened to Category 1 strength early on September 9,[94] before rebounding to Category 2 strength with a peak intensity of 105 mph (165 km/h) sustained winds and a minimum barometric pressure of 954 mbar (28.17 inHg). At this time, Earl had become a large hurricane, with hurricane-force winds extending outward up to 80 miles (130 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 275 miles (445 km).[95] After maintaining this intensity for several hours, Earl weakened to a Category 1 hurricane again at 15:00 UTC on September 10, then transitioned into an extratropical low south of Cape Race, Newfoundland six hours later.[96]

Two people died on September 4 in Salinas, Puerto Rico, after being struck by lightning while riding a jet ski.[97][98] Bermuda was buffeted with sustained winds of 35 mph (60 km/h) as Hurricane Earl passed within about 90 mi (145 km) of the island's eastern coast; higher gusts were reported, including one of 67 mph (108 km/h) at the National Museum of Bermuda. There were localized power outages across the archipelago but no large-scale damage was observed.[99][100] During a 36-hour period September 10–12, 7–8 in (175–200 mm) of rain fell in the St. Johns area, causing overflowing along the Waterford River which led to urban flooding. Similar rainfall amounts were also reported in communities throughout the Avalon Peninsula. Additionally, the cyclone caused rough surf which damaged the breakwater on the coast in the area of Trepassey, Newfoundland and Labrador, causing localized flooding.[101]

Early on September 12, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) began to monitor a tropical wave over the central Atlantic for possible development.[102] Although the environment was only marginally favorable for development, convection became more concentrated along the wave later that day[103] and started to gain organization the next day.[104] The wave then began to rapidly develop early on September 14 and became Tropical Depression Seven by 15:00 UTC that same day.[105] Despite the continued effects of moderate westerly shear and dry mid-level air temperatures[106], satellite imagery indicated the storm had strengthened and it was upgraded to Tropical Storm Fiona at 01:45 UTC on September 15.[107]

Current storm information

As of 5:00 a.m. AST (09:00 UTC) September 16, Tropical Storm Fiona is located within 25 nautical miles of 15°42′N 58°06′W / 15.7°N 58.1°W / 15.7; -58.1 (Fiona), about 265 miles (425 km) east-southeast of the Leeward Islands. Maximum sustained winds are about 45 knots (50 mph; 85 km/h), gusting up to 60 knots (70 mph; 110 km/h). The minimum barometric pressure is 1004 mbar (29.65 inHg), and the system is moving west at 13 knots (15 mph; 24 km/h). Tropical-storm-force winds extend up to 125 miles (200 km) from the center of Fiona.

Potential Tropical Cyclone Four nearing the northeastern coast of Mexico on August 20

On August 15, the NHC first noted the potential for tropical cyclone development in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico from a tropical wave that was located over the central Caribbean Sea.[108] The low emerged over the Gulf early on August 19 producing disorganized showers.[109] Due to the threat the developing system posed to northeastern Mexico and South Texas, the NHC initiated advisories on it as Potential Tropical Cyclone Four at 21:00 UTC that same day.[110] As the disturbance moved northwestward toward the Gulf coast of Mexico on August 20, a Hurricane Hunters mission found that it was still a surface trough.[111] Later that day, it moved inland, striking the coast about 60 mi (95 km) southwest of the mouth of the Rio Grande.[112] With that, the window of opportunity for tropical development closed, and the NHC issued its last advisory on the system at 03:00 UTC on August 21.[113] The disturbance brought heavy rain to coastal Tamaulipas and coastal South Texas.[112]
