The 2007 Atlantic hurricane season was an active Atlantic hurricane season, although most of the storms were weak and short-lived.
 However, the 2007 season was the first season to feature more than one Category 5 landfalling hurricane, a feat that would not be matched until 2017.
 It produced 17 tropical cyclones, 15 tropical storms, six hurricanes, and two major hurricanes.
 It officially started on June 1 and ended on November 30, dates which conventionally delimit the period during which most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic Ocean.
 The first tropical cyclone, Subtropical Storm Andrea, developed on May 9, while the last storm, Tropical Storm Olga, dissipated on December 13.
 The most intense hurricane, Dean, is tied for the eighth most intense Atlantic hurricane ever recorded as well as the third most intense Atlantic hurricane at landfall.
 The season was one of only six on record for the Atlantic with more than one Category 5 hurricane.
 It was the second on record in which an Atlantic hurricane, Felix, and an eastern Pacific hurricane, Henriette, made landfall on the same day.
 September had a record-tying eight storms, although the strengths and durations of most of the storms were low.
 Aside from hurricanes Dean and Felix, none of the storms in the season exceeded Category 1 intensity.
The Timeline of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season documents the formations, strengthenings, weakenings, landfalls, extratropical transitions, and dissipations of the season's tropical and subtropical storms.
 The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season was the most active Atlantic hurricane season in recorded history.
 The season saw a record twenty-eight tropical or subtropical storms of which a record four storms achieved Category 5 status.
 Officially beginning on June 1, 2005, and lasting until November 30, the 2005 season persisted into January 2006 due to continued storm activity.
The 1952 Atlantic hurricane season was the last Atlantic hurricane season to name tropical cyclones using the phonetic alphabet.
 It was a near normal Atlantic hurricane season, although it was the least active since 1946.
 The season officially started on June 15; however, a pre-season unnamed storm formed on Groundhog Day, becoming the only storm on record in the month of February.
 The other six tropical cyclones were named using the Joint Army/Navy Phonetic Alphabet, the first of which formed on August 18.
 The final storm of the season dissipated on October 28, two and a half weeks before the season officially ended on November 15.
The 2003 Atlantic hurricane season was an active Atlantic hurricane season with tropical activity before and after the official bounds of the season – the first such occurrence in 49 years.
 The season produced 21 tropical cyclones, of which 16 developed into named storms; seven cyclones attained hurricane status, of which three reached major hurricane status.
 With sixteen storms, the season was tied for the sixth most active Atlantic hurricane season on record.
 The strongest hurricane of the season was Hurricane Isabel, which reached Category 5 status on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale northeast of the Lesser Antilles; Isabel later struck North Carolina as a Category 2 hurricane, causing $3.6 billion in damage (2003 USD, $  USD) and a total of 51 deaths across the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States.
The 1890 Atlantic hurricane season is tied for the third least active hurricane season on record, behind 1914 and 1930.
 The first system was initially observed on May 27 and the last storm, Hurricane Four, dissipated over Central America on November 1.
 These dates fall within the period with the most tropical cyclone activity in the Atlantic.
 The first storm moved slowly north-northwestward, bringing heavy rains and extensive flooding to Cuba, which caused at least three fatalities and at least $1 million (1890 USD) in damage.
 It dissipated in the Gulf of Mexico on May 29.
 Tropical cyclogenesis went dormant for nearly two and a half months, until another system was observed near the Windward Islands on August 18.
 It traversed the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico, grazing the Yucatan Peninsula and making landfall in Louisiana before dissipating on August 28.
 Impact from the storm was minimal.
The 1983 Atlantic hurricane season was the least active Atlantic hurricane season in 53 years, during which four tropical cyclones formed.
 The season officially began on June 1, 1983, and ended on November 30, dates which conventionally limit the period of each year when tropical cyclones tend to form in the Atlantic.
 The first named storm, Hurricane Alicia, formed on August 15.
 The last storm of the season, Tropical Storm Dean, dissipated on September 30.
 This timeline documents tropical cyclone formations, strengthening, weakening, landfalls, extratropical transitions, as well as dissipations during the season.
 The timeline also includes information which was not operationally released, meaning that information from post-storm reviews by the National Hurricane Center, such as information on a storm that was not operationally warned upon.
The 1986 Atlantic hurricane season officially began on June 1, 1986, and lasted until November 30, 1986.
 These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin.
 During the 1986 season, the first subtropical depression formed in the first week of June, while the last tropical cyclone dissipated at the end of the third week of November.
 The 1986 season had lower than average activity because of an ongoing El Niño event, and was the least active season in the North Atlantic since the 1983 Atlantic hurricane season.
 This was also the first season since 1972 to have no major hurricanes.
 Earl was the strongest hurricane of the season, reaching Category 2 status.
 Few storms caused significant damage; Hurricane Bonnie caused heavy rains and flooding across southeast Texas when it made landfall near Sea Rim State Park.
 Hurricane Charley caused limited damage in North Carolina and Massachusetts, but crossed the Atlantic as an extratropical cyclone and caused considerable damage in the British Isles.
The 1930 Atlantic hurricane season was the second least active Atlantic hurricane season on record – behind only 1914 – with only three systems reaching tropical storm intensity.
 Of those three, two reached hurricane status, both of which also became major hurricanes, Category 3 or higher storms on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale.
 The first system developed in the central Atlantic Ocean on August 21.
 Later that month, a second storm, the Dominican Republic hurricane, formed on August 29.
 It peaked as a Category 4 hurricane with winds of 155 mph (250 km/h).
 The third and final storm dissipated on October 21.
The 1914 Atlantic hurricane season was the least active Atlantic hurricane season on record, with only one known tropical storm.
 Although hurricane season typically encompasses a much larger time-span, actual activity was confined to the middle of September.
 The only tropical cyclone of the year developed in the region of The Bahamas on September 15 and drifted northwestward, moving inland over Florida and Georgia.
 Thorough warnings before the storm prevented any major damage.
 The 1914 season is one of only two that did not produce any hurricanes (the other being the 1907 season).
 Due to the lack of modern technology, including satellite imagery, information is often sparse, and an additional tropical depression may have existed in late October.
 Additionally, this was the first hurricane season to take place during World War I.
The 1983 Atlantic hurricane season was the least active Atlantic hurricane season in 53 years, during which only four tropical storms formed.
 The season officially began on June 1, 1983, and lasted until November 30, 1983.
 These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most storms form in the Atlantic basin.
 The season had very little activity, with only seven tropical depressions, four of which reached tropical storm strength or higher.
 This led to the lowest Accumulated Cyclone Energy count since 1950, but not since 1900.
