caption_attribution_description: English: This map shows the tracks of all tropical cyclones in the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season. The points show the location of each storm at 6-hour intervals. The colour represents the storm's maximum sustained wind speeds as classified in the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale (see below), and the shape of the data points represent the type of the storm.

context_page_description: The 2014 Atlantic hurricane season was an event in the annual hurricane season in the north Atlantic Ocean. It featured below-average tropical cyclone activity, with the fewest named storms since the 1997 season. The season officially began on June 1, 2014 and ended on November 30, 2014. These dates, adopted by convention, historically describe the period in each year when most tropical systems form. Even so, there were no named storms during either the opening or closing months of the season, as the first, Hurricane Arthur, developed on July 1, and the last, Tropical Storm Hanna, dissipated on October 28.
  Altogether, eight tropical storms formed during the season, including six hurricanes of which two intensified into major hurricanes. There was also one tropical depression that failed to reach tropical storm strength. Impact throughout the year was widespread. Hurricane Arthur, which moved ashore near Cape Lookout, North Carolina on July 3 with 100 mph winds, was the strongest hurricane to make landfall on the U.S. mainland since Hurricane Ike in 2008.

There was also one tropical depression that failed to reach tropical storm strength. Impact throughout the year was widespread. Hurricane Arthur, which moved ashore near Cape Lookout, North Carolina on July 3 with 100 mph (160 km/h) winds, was the strongest hurricane to make landfall on the U.S. mainland since Hurricane Ike in 2008 (with 110 mph (180 km/h) winds). The deadliest Atlantic storm of the season, Hurricane Cristobal, barely touched land at all as it moved northward along the Atlantic Gulf Stream, but was responsible for at least seven fatalities. In October, Bermuda was struck twice, as hurricanes Fay and Gonzalo made landfall only six days apart (October 12 and 18 respectively), leaving much damage in their wakes.
  This timeline documents tropical cyclone formations, strengthening, weakening, landfalls, extratropical transitions, and dissipations during the season. It includes information that was not released throughout the season, meaning that data from post-storm reviews by the National Hurricane Center, such as a storm that was not initially warned upon, has been included.
  By convention, meteorologists one time zone when issuing forecasts and making observations: Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), and also use the 24-hour clock (where 00:00 = midnight UTC). In this time line, all information is listed by UTC first with the respective local time included in parentheses.
