2401 Atlantic hurricane season

The 2401 Atlantic hurricane season was one of the least active seasons on record.

Just in this season, only 6 storms forming throughout the season.

The first storm, Alex, formed near the end of July.

The last storm, Earl, dissipated nearly two months before the end of the season.

2401 was a El Nino year, which was the main cause for this immensely inactive season.

The season was known for being the least active season in many years.

Danielle, the only major hurricane of the season, was retired due to very high damage totals.

With a very late start, this season nearly made a record for the latest start. With the last storm dissipating nearly two months before the end, it is one of the earliest ends of a season.

Tropical Storm Alex
On June 25, a low formed over the western African coast, moving westward. Over time, it became more organized and defined. On June 29, the NHC started issuing advisories for Tropical Depression One.

One moved northwest, slowly continuing to gain convection. Nearly 2 days of formation, it strengthened into a tropical storm, receiving the name, Alex.

Alex maintained tropical storm status for almost 2 days, then weakened. Alex degenerated into a through of low pressure.
