2061 Atlantic hurricane season - MC -

The 2061 Atlantic hurricane season was an above-average season, featuring a total of 16 named storms. This season is tied with 2008 as the sixth-most active Atlantic hurricane season on record. This season had Erin produce the seventh-highest total accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) in Atlantic history.

The season officially began on June 1 and ended on November 30. These dates historically describe the period of year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin. However, as shown by Tropical Storm Andrea in May, the formation of tropical cyclones is possible at other times of the year. [more detail here]

Initial predictions suggested an El Niño developing, lowering storm activity. However, the El Niño failed to develop, as cool-neutral conditions developed, progressing to a La Niña. This led forecasters to increase their initial storm count.
