2020 Atlantic hurricane season (GiedriusforCat5)

The 2020 Atlantic hurricane season was a below average season in which 6 total storms formed, 3 of which became hurricanes, and only one became major. The season had an abundance of short lived weak storms, which accounts for its extremely low ACE value, at only 14.185.

It had an early start in June, but constantly struggled with further storm formation, becoming one of the least active seasons on record, and the least active since 1983, and the least active in the modern era in terms of ACE.

The season had an average end, with the last system dissipating in late October.

The season was unusually inactive, and the only major storm existed in the Gulf of Mexico.

The season was so inactive because it occured during the peak period of the El Nino of 2018 - 2023.

The season produced 14.185 ACE units, and was the second least active season on record in terms of ACE, only behind 1914. A majority of the ACE came from the only major, Dolly, with 7.805, with Edouard being next, at 3.815.

Hurricane Dolly was responsible for most of the damages and 19 deaths, when it made landfall in the Florida Panhandle.
