2014 Celebrity hurricane season

The 2014 Celebrity hurricane season was the first hurricane season in which North Atlantic tropical cyclones were named after celebrities.

Season summary
The 2014 Celebrity season was the least active Atlantic tropical cyclone season since 1983, which only six tropical depressions, five tropical storms, two hurricanes, and no major hurricanes at all forming, the first occurence of this since the 1994 season. Record low sea surface tempratures are to blame for the inactivity.

Despite the cold tempratures, the 2014 season had a record-active start to the season, with three tropical storms (Ariana, Bianca, and Chris) and one hurricane forming in a span of ten days in June. This is the first occurence of three tropical storms in June since 1968. In addition, Hurricane Chris was the earliest third named storm on record, beating the third storm of 1887, and it was the northernmost tropical cyclone ever recorded, beating Hurricane Faith in 1966. However, from the start of July to the end of the year, abnormally low activity occured, with only Tropical Storm Dee, Hurricane Edwin, and Tropical Depression Six forming for the rest of the season. This shows that early season activity does not correlate to the activity of the entire season.

The 2014 Celebrity season had almost no impacts on land. Only one tropical cyclone, Edwin, made landfall in the United States. It hit near Charleston, South Carolina as a moderate tropical storm and caused $500 (2013 USD) in damage from the destroyed roofs of homes and uprooted trees. Two tropical cyclones (Ariana and Chris) made landfall over Canada (specifically Newfoundland) as weak tropical storms, but combined only produced $10 (2013 USD) of damage from broken toy buckets. Chris also hit Norway as a tropical depression, but caused no known damage. Bianca, Dee, and Tropical Depression Six did not affect land. No deaths occured in this season.
