User:Cooper7579/2022 Atlantic hurricane season (Cooper's Version)

The 2022 Atlantic hurricane season was the final in a series of three consecutive above-average Atlantic hurricane seasons. However, most of the storms were relatively weak. The season officially began on June 1, 2022, and ended on November 30, 2022. These dates historically describe the period each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin and are adopted by convention.

Other Systems


On June 9, the NHC began monitoring the potential for an area of low pressure to develop in the Caribbean Sea. Two days later, a broad area of low pressure developed off the northern coast of Honduras near the Nicaragua border. The low slowly organized as it moved northwestward, and was given an 80% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone within the next five days. Due to its proximity to land, the disturbance was classified as Potential Tropical Cyclone One, as it still lacked a well-defined center. The disturbance achieved peak winds of 40 mph (65 km/h) as it entered the Gulf of Mexico, where it was met with increasing wind shear. The disturbance moved inland over Mississippi on June 16 and subsequently became extratropical the following day.

Storm names
The following list of names was used for named storms that formed in the North Atlantic in 2022. The names not retired from this list were used again in the 2028 season. This was the same list used in the 2016 season, with the exceptions of Martin and Owen, which replaced Matthew and Otto, respectively, and were used for the first time this year.

Retirement
On April 5, 2023, at the 45th session of the RA IV hurricane committee, the World Meteorological Organization retired the name Earl from its rotating name lists due to the amount of damage and deaths it caused, and it will not be used again for another Atlantic hurricane. Earl was replaced with Edgar for the 2028 season.
