1891 Atlantic hurricane season: The 1891 Atlantic hurricane season ran through the summer and the early winter of 1891.  The season had ten tropical cyclones, seven of which became hurricanes including one which became a major Category 3 hurricane.  However, in the absence of modern satellite and other remote-sensing technologies, only cyclones that affected populated land areas or encountered ships at sea are currently known, so the actual total could be higher.  An undercount bias of zero to four tropical cyclones per year between 1886 and 1910 has been estimated.  The tracks of four of the ten known 1891 Atlantic cyclones were revised in 1996 by Jose Fernandez-Partagas.  Following re-analysis in 2003, two storms previously considered distinct are now regarded as a single system, Tropical Storm 8.  A number of other storms from 1891 were considered for inclusion in the Atlantic hurrice database, HURDAT, but are currently excluded due to a lack of evidence of tropical storm intensity.
