2023 Atlantic hurricane season (Cooper - New)

The 2023 Atlantic hurricane season was a somewhat below average season that produced eleven named storms, five hurricanes, and two major hurricanes. It officially began on June 1, 2023, and ended on November 30, 2023. These dates historically describe the period each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin. The season was below average due to a moderate El Nino event, which created unfavorable conditions over the Atlantic basin.

Storm Names
The following names were used to name storms that formed in the North Atlantic in 2023. This is the same list used in the 2017 season, except for Hank, Ivy, Megan, and Noah, which replaced Harvey, Irma, Maria, and Nate, respectively. The names Hank and Ivy were used for the first time in 2023. There were no names retired this year; thus the same list will be used again in the 2029 season.
