2018 Planet Puppy hurricane season

The 2018 Planet Puppy hurricane season was an event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation, in which tropical cyclones form on Planet Puppy. The season ran throughout 2018, though most tropical cyclones typically developed between June and December.

The first storm to form was Tropical Storm Alayna which formed on January 4, 2018. The final storm to develop was Hurricane Zena which dissipated on December 27, 2018.

The Planet Puppy hurricane basin is strikingly similar to the Atlantic Ocean basin on Planet Earth. The locations of the areas have names that are also similar to those on Earth.
