2020 Community Atlantic Hurricane Season

The 2020 Atlantic hurricane season was a hyperactive and catastrophic hurricane season, causing hundreds of billions of dollars in damage. The season officially began on June 1 and ended on November 30, dates that conventionally delimit the period during each year in which tropical cyclogenesis occurs in the North Atlantic. However, tropical cyclones can form at any time of the year, as shown by Arthur on May 18. The following months were also moderately active, with three systems total developing in June and July combined. The season ramped up in the following months, with 4 systems developing in August, September & October. November was also above average, producing the last two storms of the season. The season ended with the dissipation of Tropical Storm Sally on November 26.
