2018 Atlantic hurricane season (Bob's official prediction)

The 2018 Atlantic hurricane season featured slightly below average activity, and was much less active than the previous season. A total of 12 tropical cyclones formed, all of which strengthened into tropical storms. Of the 12 tropical storms, 5 became hurricanes and 2 became major hurricanes. The strongest storm of the season was Hurricane Helene, which peaked as a Category 4 hurricane southwest of Bermuda.

The season was slightly below average because of a weak Modoki El Niño event developing late in the season, as well as an Atlantic sea surface temperature pattern resembling the negative phase of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation.
