The last ones name was Katrina. To find out the wrest of your questions look on the "NOAA" web site. It will tell you everything you want to know. I believe the most storms in one season was 19 named storms, but not all were hurricanes. Nitro... thanks for the reply. What I meant was not the most recent hurricane (Katrina) but the name of the highest numbered hurricane in a season - which according to this snippet from CNN.com was "Wilma." ---------------- http://www.cnn.com/2005/WEATHER/09/08/tropical.weather/ ---------------- ... Just a week into September -- historically the most active month for tropical activity -- the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season has seen 15 named storms, six of which reached hurricane strength with winds of at least 74 mph. Four of those became major hurricanes, with sustained winds of at least 111 mph. According to the National Hurricane Center, the historical averages for a hurricane season are 10 named storms, six hurricanes and two major hurricanes. Those numbers have been met or exceeded this season, which doesn't end until November 30. The largest number of named storms ever recorded was 21, in 1933, a record that will be broken if just seven more storms develop in the next 12 weeks. And if that happens, the hurricane center will run out of names for the first time since it adopted the system of assigning names to storms in 1953. The letters Q, U, X, Y and Z aren't used, because few names begin with those letters; the 21st and last name on this year's hurricane list is Wilma. After that, Greek letters will be used to designate storms, beginning with alpha. The most hurricanes recorded in the Atlantic is 12, in 1969, according to the hurricane center, and the largest number of major hurricanes is eight, in 1950. ###
There were 27 named tropical storms in the 2005 hurricane season (the highest ever recorded in one year) of which 15 became hurricanes (another record). Here's the list of those names storms. Those marked with (H) became hurricanes: Arlene, Bret, Cindy(H), Dennis(H), Emily(H), Franklin, Gert, Harvey, Irene(H), Jose, Katrina(H), Lee, Maria(H), Nate(H), Ophelia(H), Philippe(H), Rita (H), Stan(H), Tammy, Vince (H), Wilma(H), Alpha, Beta(H), Gamma, Delta, Epsilon(H), Zeta.
The least active Atlantic Hurricane season from 2000-2009 was 2009. That season had 9 named tropical storms of which 3 became hurricanes. Here they are with the names of hurricanes marked in bold.Anna, Bill, Claudette, Danny, Erika, Fred, Grace, Henri, Ida.
Hurricanes in December in Florida are rare. Hurricane season officially ends in November, so most hurricanes take place in the summer and fall.
Yes. 2009 was a relatively mild hurricanes season, at least for the Atlantic with 9 tropical storms of which 3 became hurricanes. 2010 was very active with 19 tropical storms of which 12 became hurricanes. 2011 was also active with 19 tropical storms of which 7 became hurricanes. However, a 3 year period of analysis is not enough to draw any conclusions.
September is in the middle of hurricane season.
No. About 3% of hurricanes form out of season.

Hurricanes can occur outside of the official hurricane season, but it is rare. Hurricanes need warm ocean water in order to form and in most cases the water is not warm enough outside of hurricane season to support the formation of hurricanes. About 3% of hurricanes and tropical storms occur out of season.
There wasn't one.

in a season there can range from none to as many as 20 hurricanes in one season...assuming it is in one general area.
For 1 season, it is Tip O'Neill, who hit for .485 in 1887,

Hurricanes form the most in late summer because that is when the oceans are warmest. There is a season for Hurricanes. They start at diffrent times of the year for the Atlantic and the Pacific, but stop on the same day.
