1000 BC Atlantic hurricane season

The 1000 BC Atlantic hurricane season was a relatively active season. The season began on June 1, 1000 BC, and it ended on November 30, 1000 BC, dates of which conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin. Overall, the 1000 BC Atlantic hurricane season produced 16 tropical cyclones, of which 14 developed into tropical storms; six storms attained hurricane intensity, and two hurricanes further reached major hurricane status. The activity in this season was much above average, as an average season 3,000 years ago produced only 8 storms, due to slightly cooler waters than today. The strongest hurricane of the season was Hurricane Nine, which attained Category 4 intensity out in open waters. Hurricane Nine only affected the Cape Verde Islands and Bermuda. None of the storms caused any damage or deaths, due to the human population being very low and the population of areas surrounding the Atlantic basin also being extremely low on this timescale. However, a couple of ancient tribes were slightly affected by some of the storms this season, but no deaths or damage resulted.
