1992 What-might-have-been Atlantic hurricane season (Cooper)

The 1992 Atlantic hurricane season had one of the latest dates on record for the first named storm. It was a near average season, featuring 9 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and 3 major hurricanes. The season officially began on June 1, 1992, and lasted until November 30, 1992. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin.

Storm names
The following names were used for named storms that formed in the north Atlantic in 1992. Subtropical storms were unnamed in the Atlantic basin until 2002, thus the subtropical storm in April 1992 did not receive a name. The names not retired from this list appeared again on the naming list for the 1998 season. This is the same naming list used for the 1986 season. Names that were not assigned are marked in gray.

Retirement
In the spring of 1993, the World Meteorological Association retired the names Andrew, Earl, and Georges from the list above. They were replaced by the names Alex, Ethan, and Gaston in the 1998 season.
