2101 Atlantic hurricane season (Steven's)

The 2101 Atlantic hurricane season was an extremely active and destructive season, with 41 depressions, 38 named storms, 28 hurricanes, and 12 major hurricanes forming. The season officially started on May 15 and ended on December 15. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin. However, the first storm, Alice, formed on February 6, 3 months before the official start of the season. There was also a storm, TS Gimel, that was active at the start of the year after forming in 2100. Hurricane Bobby also formed before the start of the season, on April 12.

This season was less active than last year, but was still exceptionally above average. This season was very devastating, with Gillian, Josh, Martha, Phil, Steven, Vick, Whitney, Charley, and Diana responsible for most of the destruction. The strongest and most destructive storm of the season was Steven, a Category 6 hurricane that devastated the Caribbean, Central America, and the US. It caused $285 billion dollars in damage and killed 24,598 people throughout its path. The other storms listed above were also very notable and also had their names retired.

Because of the extreme activity of the previous season, for this season, the NHC made the Q, U, X, Y, and Z names a permanent part of their naming lists. These additional names would rotate each year, with the same Q, U, X, Y, and Z names used in 2100 to be used in 2102, and the same Q, U, X, Y, and Z names used in 2101 to be used in 2103 (unless they are retired). The NHC also added a secondary naming list for this season and for future seasons, using names that were retired before the year 2050. This was because of the previous recent seasons (such as 2100, 2099, 2098, etc.) exhausting the main list and going onto the Greek Alphabet. 2100 was an extreme case, exhausting even the Greek Alphabet and going onto the Hebrew Alphabet. Now, because of this additional naming list, reaching the Greek Alphabet is much harder than ever before, with only 2100 having enough storms to exhaust the secondary naming list.

Storm names
The following names were used to name tropical cyclones this year. This is the same list used in the 2095 season, expect for Fernando, Luke, and Olly, which replaced Fern, Luther, and Olympia. The names Fernando, Luke, Olly, Quincy, Utor, Xina, York, and Zelda were used in the Atlantic for the first time this year. Unused names are marked in.

Secondary naming list
Since this season exhausted the first list, a second list was used to name storms that would have formed after Zelda. This list consists of names that have been retired before the year 2050 (especially names that were retired before 2020). These names were brought back because they were retired over 50 years ago and many people would have forgot about the devastating storms that happened before 2050. Just like the primary list, the secondary list will reappear after 6 years. This was the first time that a secondary list was used to name storms had the season exhausted the first list. In previous seasons, the Greek Alphabet was used instead. But the Greek Alphabet would have still been used if this season was hyperactive enough to exhaust even the secondary list.

Retirement
Due to extensive damage and deaths, the names Gillian, Josh, Martha, Phil, Steven, Vick, Whitney, Charley, and Diana were officially retired, and will never be used again for an Atlantic hurricane. They were replaced by Gitanna, Jackson, Maggie, Philip, Stein, Vidal, Waverly, Chris, and Danielle.
