2024 Atlantic hurricane season (MC's)

The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season was an average hurricane season. It officially began on June 1 and ended on November 30. Throughout the year, 13 tropical storms formed, which 6 went on to become hurricanes. Three eventually became a major hurricane. Damages were lower than usual, because most storms stayed out in the ocean, causing little or no damage at all.

The first storm, Arlene, formed on June 12, just only 11 days into the season. Arlene had very little impact to any land. The last storm, Maria was a relatively short-lived tropical storm, lasting just over a day. The strongest storm, Jose, brought catastrophic damage to the Gulf Coast, with Louisiana being the hardest hit. Damages from Jose neared 1 billion dollars.

Forecast models were calling an above-average season, due to a La Niña forming. However, the La Niña was weaker than expected, calling for a decrease in the count of possible storms. A few agencies, however, predicted a lower count of storms, of the possibility of a La Niña.
