2019 Atlantic hurricane season

The 2019 Atlantic hurricane season was tied with the 1969 season as the fourth-most active season on record. The fourth consecutive above-average and damaging season, the season produced 20 depressions, 18 named storms, 6 hurricanes and 3 major hurricanes, including two Category 5 hurricanes. It was also the fifth consecutive season in which activity began before the official start of the season on June 1, with Subtropical Storm Andrea forming on May 20.

## Storms

### Subtropical Storm Andrea

 Duration
 Peak intensity

On May 17, an upper-level trough moved southward out of the mid-latitudes and cut off into a broad upper-level low over Florida. The following day, the system moved over the Atlantic Ocean roughly midway between the Bahamas and Bermuda, and a large area of cloudiness developed in association with the low. Cloudiness associated with the system continued to grow, and a broad low pressure area formed on May 20 around 1200 UTC about 375 nautical miles south-southwest of Bermuda. Convection continued to organize, and the NHC upgraded the low to Subtropical Storm Andrea near 1800 UTC while the system was located 320 nautical miles from Bermuda. Several hours after formation, Andrea was impacted by increasing vertical wind shear and mid-level dry air, causing rapid waning of the convection. On May 21, Andrea degenerated into a remnant low, and was absorbed by a cold front the following day near 1200 UTC 60 miles southwest of Bermuda.

## Storm names

*See also: Tropical cyclone naming*

The following list of names was used for named storms that formed in the North Atlantic in 2019. The names not retired from this list will be used again in the 2025 season. This was the same list used in the 2013 season, with the exception of the name *Imelda*, which replaced *Ingrid*. The names *Imelda*, *Nestor*, and *Rebekah* were used for the first time this year. The name *Nestor* replaced *Noel* after 2007, but was not used in 2013, while the name *Rebekah* replaced *Roxanne* after 1995, but was not used in previous seasons. Retired names, if any, will be announced at the joint 42nd and 43rd Sessions of the RA IV Hurricane Committee (also including any names to be retired from the subsequent 2020 season), in the spring of 2021. Originally, any retired names were supposed to be announced at the previous session slated to be held from March 30 to April 3, 2020 in Panama, but it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

## Season effects

This is a table of all the storms that have formed in the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season. It includes their duration, names, affected areas, damages, and death totals. Deaths in parentheses are additional and indirect (an example of an indirect death would be a traffic accident), but were still related to that storm. Damage and deaths include totals while the storm was extratropical cyclone, a tropical wave, or a Low-pressure area, and all the damage figures are in USD. Potential tropical cyclones are not included in this table.
