2019 Atlantic hurricane season (Gift season for Bob)

The 2019 Atlantic hurricane season was a very unusual season. Despite an ongoing weak El Nino event which typically lowers storm activity in the Atlantic basin, the 2019 season was active, and featured an impressive amount of major hurricanes, particularly in the month of July. The season featured a total of 17 named storms, 9 hurricanes, and 7 major hurricanes.
