2016 Summer Cyclone Season

The 2016 Summer Cyclone Season was the first documented season of Summer Cyclones. The season will run from April 15 to October 15, any storms that form during that timeframe will be apart of this season. The season got off to an early start with Summer Storm Archie forming on March 23 and becoming a weak tropical storm. Activity was limited until May 31 when Brooke formed. Activity became very limited up until Late June early July when Carolyn formed and packed 140 mph winds and a few days later Four-SC formed. The depression would struggle and dissipate a couple days later. On July 11 Summer Storm Donald would form and would start to rapidly strengthen.

One-SC would struggle to intensify but would be named Archie. After being named it struggled for numerous days before weakening and dissipating on March 27.

Archie also formed almost a month before the official start date of the summer cyclone season.
