Although every tropical storm impacted land, effects overall were light, with less than $10 million (1946 USD) in damage and no deaths in the United States throughout the season.

While the storm was moving northeastward offshore the East Coast of the United States, the Norwegian tanker Maril II was destroyed at sea, causing 16 drownings; the incident could not be directly attributed to the hurricane.

The second storm brought relatively minor damage to the Cape Fear region of North Carolina after striking the state early in its duration.

The Florida hurricane severely damaged sugar cane in western Cuba and caused five deaths in the island nation.

The season's most intense storm developed on September 12 and later peaked as a Category 2 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 100 mph (160 km/h) and a lowest known barometric pressure of 975 millibars (28.8 inHg).

[6] A disturbance accompanied by a small area of convection developed into a tropical depression about 165 miles (266 km) south-southwest of Cape San Blas, Florida, at 12:00 UTC on June 13.

[4] The interaction between a frontal boundary and a tropical wave resulted in the development of an extratropical cyclone on July 5 offshore the Southeastern United States.

[7] Around 00:00 UTC on July 6, the system transitioned into a tropical storm while located about 35 mi (56 km) south-southeast of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Further inland, heavy rainfall, including 7.84 in (199 mm) in less than 24 hours in Manteo, resulted in considerable loss to crops, with 15%-20% damaged in some areas.

At 00:00 UTC on July 9, the hurricane transitioned into an extratropical cyclone while located about 390 mi (630 km) south-southeast of Cape Sable Island, Nova Scotia.

[1] Early on August 25, it is estimated that a tropical storm developed after a reconnaissance aircraft flight reported that the system acquired a well-defined circulation.

[1][4] Peaking with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (64 km/h), the storm moved quickly west-northwestward and made near Tampico, Tamaulipas, at 19:00 UTC.

Shortly thereafter, it peaked with maximum sustained winds of 100 mph (160 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 975 mbar (28.8 inHg),[4] both of which were observed during a reconnaissance aircraft flight.

[4] In the Bahamas, Hope Town observed sustained winds of 65 mph (105 km/h) and stronger gusts, as well as a barometric pressure of 995 mbar (29.4 inHg).

[8] A low pressure area initially associated with two frontal systems developed into a tropical depression about 560 mi (900 km) southwest of Flores Island in the Azores at 12:00 UTC on October 1.

[4] On October 2, the system peaked with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph (97 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 1,004 mbar (29.6 inHg), both of which were observed by ships.

The storm then began losing tropical characteristics and merged with a frontal boundary around 12:00 UTC on October 3 while situated about 275 mi (443 km) south-southwest of Pico Island in the Azores.

[4] Rough seas at Santa Maria Island left 120 fishermen missing, while 12 fishing vessels, 2 tugboats, and several launches were destroyed.

[7] A disturbance from the Intertropical Convergence Zone developed into a tropical storm late on October 5, while located over the western Caribbean Sea near the Belize–Mexico border.

At 04:00 UTC on October 7, the storm made landfall in western Cuba near Boca de Galafre, Pinar del Río Province, with winds of 80 mph (130 km/h).

[1] After emerging into the Gulf of Mexico on October 7, the storm curved north-northeastward and strengthened to a Category 2, peaking with maximum sustained winds of 100 mph (160 km/h).

Only about $200,000 in property damage occurred, which was mostly due to coastal flooding in cities such as Everglades, Fort Myers, and Punta Gorda.

However, the extratropical remnants persisted for several days, moving in a semicircular path over the eastern Atlantic until dissipating well north of Hispaniola on October 14.

Late on November 1, the storm peaked with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (72 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 1,002 mbar (29.6 inHg).
