1987 WMHB Atlantic hurricane season (Cooper)

The 1987 Atlantic hurricane season was a below-average Atlantic hurricane season, producing 9 named storms, 5 hurricanes, and only 1 major hurricane. The season officially began on June 1, 1987, and ended on November 30, 1987. These dates historically describe the period each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin and are adopted by convention. However, tropical cyclogenesis is possible at any time of the year, as shown by the formation of Tropical Depression One on May 25.
