Hurricane Danielle was a meandering category one storm that remained at sea during its time as a tropical system.

An area of low pressure formed along a decaying frontal zone over the central subtropical Atlantic. The disturbance quickly organized and developed into Tropical Depression Five early on September 1 before strengthening into Tropical Storm Danielle later that evening. The storm strengthened and became a Category 1 hurricane on September 2.

It stalled the following day, however, caught south of a blocking high, and weakened back into a tropical storm due to the upwelling of cooler waters and dry air. After turning northwestward, Danielle reached its peak intensity with sustained winds of 90 mph early on September 5. Danielle weakened to a tropical storm on September 8 before transitioning into an extratropical cyclone later that day.

Category one hurricane Danielle had a minimum pressure of 972 millibars and maximum winds of 90 miles per hour.

The storm's accumulated cyclone energy is approximately 12.5 units.
