The most intense hurricane (by barometric pressure) on record in the North Atlantic basin was Hurricane Wilma (882 mbar). [12] The largest hurricane (in gale diameter winds) on record to form in the North Atlantic was Hurricane Sandy (2012) with a gale diameter of 870 miles (1,400 km). [52]
Radar image of Hurricane Alice (1954–55), the only Atlantic tropical cyclone on record to span two calendar years at hurricane strength. Climatologically speaking, approximately 97 percent of tropical cyclones that form in the North Atlantic develop between June 1 and November 30 – dates which delimit the modern-day Atlantic hurricane season.

Hurricanes — tropical cyclones that formed in the North Atlantic Ocean (above equator). This category also includes articles on North Atlantic tropical storms. For Atlantic hurricanes by year, see: Category: Atlantic hurricane seasons. For a list of notable North Atlantic hurricanes, see: List of notable tropical cyclones (North Atlantic basin).
The North Atlantic tropical cyclone basin is defined as the region of the Atlantic Ocean north of the equator, while other boundaries are mainly established by land areas. The Regional Specialized Meteorological Center (RSMC) for the North Atlantic basin is the NHC, which manages the warnings of tropical cyclones there. [ 5 ]
Hurricane Leslie at its peak intensity over the central North Atlantic on October 10, 2024. Within the North Atlantic Ocean, a Category 2 hurricane is a tropical cyclone, that has 1-minute sustained wind speeds of between 83–95 knots (96–109 mph; 154–176 km/h; 43–49 m/s). [1]
The Atlantic hurricane season is the period in a year, from June 1 through November 30, when tropical or subtropical cyclones are most likely to form in the North Atlantic Ocean. These dates, adopted by convention, encompass the period in each year when most tropical cyclogenesis occurs in the basin .
