1993 WMHB Atlantic hurricane season (Cooper)

The 1993 Atlantic hurricane season was a below-average Atlantic hurricane season, with 9 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and 2 major hurricanes forming. The season officially began on June 1, 1993, and ended on November 30, 1993. These dates historically describe the period each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin and are adopted by convention. However, the formation of tropical cyclones is possible at any time of the year, as shown by the development of Tropical Storm Arlene on May 31.

Storm names
The following list of names was used for named storms that formed in the North Atlantic in 1993. The names not retired from this list were used again in the 1999 season. This was the same list used in the 1987 season.

Retirement
In the spring of 1994, at the 16th session of the RA IV hurricane committee, the World Meteorological Organization retired the name Cindy from its rotating name lists due to the amount of deaths and damage it caused, and it will not be used again for another Atlantic hurricane. Cindy was replaced with Catherine for the 1999 season.
