2038 Atlantic hurricane season (Misteeer)

The 2038 Atlantic hurricane season was the most active Atlantic hurricane season in recorded history, shattering numerous records from previous seasons, most notably those set during the 2005 season, which had been the most active on record prior to 2038. The impact of the hurricane season was widespread, deadly, and destructive, with its storms causing an estimated 7,091 deaths, $571.92 billion in damage, and boasting multiple hurricanes of record or near-record strength.

Of the storms that made landfall, eight of the season's eleven major hurricanes - Francesca, Hannah, Ian, Lacy, Michael, Nicole, Sara, and Beta - caused the majority of its damage and destruction. The season's worst impacts were caused in Puerto Rico by Hurricane Sara, which lashed the northeastern portion of the island with sustained winds of between 170 and 190 miles per hour for several hours, creating a 35-foot storm surge, and dumping up to 6 feet of rain in several locations.

The season officially began on June 1, 2038, and ended on November 30, 2038. However, Tropical Storm Adrian, the season's first storm, formed on April 6, while its last storm, Hurricane Mu, dissipated on January 7, 2039, the first storm to carry on so long into the following year. A record 36 tropical depressions formed, along with 26 tropical storms, 20 major hurricanes, and 11 major hurricanes. Out of the major hurricanes, a record 7 became Category 4 hurricanes, while a record 4 became Category 5 hurricanes - the highest rating on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. This was the third season that the name list was exhausted and names from the Greek alphabet were used, after the previous hyperactive hurricane season of 2005 and 2023.
