The season's activity was reflected with an accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) rating of 100 units,[2] slightly higher than the 1931–1943 average of 91.2.

[2] On June 9, a tropical cyclone with atmospheric pressure below 988 mb (29.18 inHg) made landfall on the Pacific coast of Guatemala.

On June 15, the tropical storm made landfall about 20 mi (32 km) to the south of Fort Myers, Florida, and after crossing the state it passed over Miami before entering the Atlantic Ocean.

The storm caused three indirect deaths when a Coast Guard airplane crashed in Tampa Bay while in search of small boats.

It moved northwestward and rapidly strengthened almost immediately after formation (similar to Humberto of 2007), attaining hurricane status with peak winds of 80 mph (130 km/h) by early on June 27.

On July 27, the storm accelerated northeastward and made landfall on southeastern Louisiana with a pressure of 1003 mbar (hPa; 29.62 inHg).

The Weather Bureau office issued a storm warning for the Louisiana coastline, advising those potentially affected to prepare for strong winds and rising tides.

The hurricane continued to strengthen, and on July 31 hit the western Florida Panhandle near Camp Walton with peak winds of 105 mph (165 km/h).

The extratropical storm continued northeastward until dissipating late on August 11 while 280 mi (450 km) south of the eastern tip of Nova Scotia.

The storm then began to curve more to the west-southwest on August 10 while located just south-southwest of Port Eads, Louisiana, while maintaining intensity.

[9] The hurricane brought heavy rains to mainland Mexico, while the highest winds recorded at Tampico were 30 mph (48 km/h) on August 19 as the center passed nearby just to the north.

[9] The storm caused heavy rains across northern and central Florida, and winds of 40 mph (65 km/h) were recorded near Titusville.

Moving northwest on August 29, the system continued to strengthen, eventually reaching a peak of 110 mph (175 km/h) as a Category 2 hurricane in the central North Atlantic on September 1.

The system moved steadily west-northwest, making landfall shortly afterwards on the Yucatán Peninsula as a 45 mph (75 km/h) tropical storm.

The system weakened slightly to a 40-mph (65-km/h) tropical storm as it steadily crossed the Yucatán, entering the Bay of Campeche late on August 28.

On September 7, a ship reported southwest winds at a location about 405 mi (650 km) northeast of Antigua, indicating the presence of a tropical cyclone.

The storm moved northwestward, and slowly intensified to attain hurricane status on September 10 about 425 mi (685 km) northeast of Barbados.

The hurricane continued to slowly strengthen as it decelerated its forward motion, and on September 15 it reached its peak intensity of 120 mph (195 km/h) while located 375 mi (605 km) south-southwest of Bermuda.

By the morning of September 15, the hurricane had winds exceeding 25 mph (40 km/h) in a diameter of about 1,000 mi (1,610 km), among the largest tropical cyclones on record.

The hurricane remained south of Atlantic Canada by a short distance, and became extratropical on September 19 while located about 50 mi (80 km) east of Nantucket.

[1][9] Early on September 17, Weather Bureau offices began issuing storm warnings from Beaufort, North Carolina, to the Virginia capes.

The hurricane destroyed the highway bridge along the Currituck Sound, and resulted in heavy crop damage in northeastern North Carolina.

Winds of up to 84 mph (135 km/h) at Cape Henry destroyed windows, roofs, and some entire buildings, resulting in around $500,000 in damage (1936 USD).

Its large area of disturbed weather organized in the Bay of Campeche and developed into a tropical storm on September 10 a short distance off the coast of Tabasco.

It remained a minimal tropical storm for its entire lifetime, and after turning to the north west it made landfall near Brownsville, Texas, on September 13 with winds of 50 mph (85 km/h).

[17] Anticipating further intensification, one bulletin from the local weather bureau recommended citizens on offshore islands to evacuate inland.

After turning to the northeast, the hurricane reached a peak intensity of 105 mph (165 km/h) on September 21 while located about 500 mi (805 km) southwest of Bermuda.

A cold front turned the hurricane to the northeast, and the system became extratropical on September 25 a short time before making landfall on southern Nova Scotia.

Hours after striking the providence, the extratropical remnant was absorbed by the approaching cold front while located over the Gulf of St.

It tracked northwestward over the Yucatán Peninsula, and subsequent to the development of a low-level circulation the system organized into a tropical storm on October 9 while located about 60 mi (95 km) northwest of the capital of Campeche.
