1998 Atlantic hurricane season (Hypercane's recreation)

The 1998 Atlantic hurricane season was a relatively quiet season with 11 tropical cyclones forming, with 9 of those later becoming named storms. Out of those named storms, 5 became hurricanes, and 2 further strengthened into major hurricanes. Due to a strong El Niño event occurring in the equatorial Eastern Pacific Ocean, activity was greatly suppressed as more shear prevailed across the basin. Tropical cyclone activity in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico was also greatly reduced.

Storm Names
This same list was used in 1992 with the exception of Alex, which replaced Andrew. The name Charley was retired due to its extreme impacts on the eastern seaboard of the United States. It was replaced with Chad to be used in the 2004 season.
