The 1902 Atlantic hurricane season featured five known tropical cyclones, three of which made landfall in the United States.

The season's activity was reflected with an accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) rating of 28, the lowest value since 1890.

[2] At 12:00 UTC on June 12, a tropical depression developed about 20 mi (30 km) north of Swan Island, Honduras.

After reaching the Gulf of Mexico late on June 13, the system continued to strengthen and peaked with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph (95 km/h).

Around midday on June 16, the system became extratropical over southeastern Virginia and then accelerated northeastward, before dissipating near Anticosti Island, Quebec, late on the following day.

Initially a tropical depression, the system moved slowly northwestward and reached the Gulf of Mexico early the next day.

At 21:00 UTC that day, the storm made landfall near Corpus Christi, Texas, with winds of 70 mph (115 km/h).

Over 6 in (150 mm) fell in La Porte, ruining more than 200,000 lb (91,000 kg) of hay west of town.

The storm in Great Plains set up a cold and moist easterly wind which caused colder than normal temperatures in Nebraska and a rare late June snowstorm in Denver, Colorado; up to 8 in (200 mm) was observed.

[5] A tropical storm was first observed at 06:00 UTC on September 16, while located about 640 mi (1,030 km) southwest of Cape Verde, at the most southerly latitude of any North Atlantic tropical-storm-strength cyclone on record.

Several hours later, it became extratropical while located about 810 mi (1,305 km) west-southwest of Flores Island in the Azores.

The remnants of this storm continued northeastward and weakened, until dissipating about 800 mi (1,285 km) southeast of Cape Farewell, Greenland, on September 25.

[3] A tropical depression developed in the Pacific Ocean while located about 105 mi (165 km) west-southwest of Tapachula, Chiapas, on October 3.

The depression moved slowly north-northwestward and made landfall in a rural area of southeastern Oaxaca early the next day.

Early the next day, the storm became a Category 2 hurricane and peaked with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph (165 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 970 mbar (29 inHg).

[2] The final storm developed north of Puerto Rico at 00:00 UTC on November 1 as a tropical depression.

[3] Around that time, a ship observed a barometric pressure of 993 mbar (29.3 inHg), possibly suggesting hurricane intensity.

At 06:00 UTC the next day, it weakened to a tropical depression and dissipated several hours later, while located about 760 mi (1,225 km) southeast of Cape Race, Newfoundland.
