Hurricanes in the Virgin Islands

The Virgin Islands (Spanish: Islas Vírgenes) are an archipelago in the Caribbean Sea.

The islands fall into three different political jurisdictions: This list includes all tropical cyclones that have struck one or all of the above territories.

For the period that reasonably reliable records exist, tropical storms strike the Territory on average approximately once every 8 years, although that includes strikes which only affected the northernmost (and lightly populated) island of Anegada.

In the 20th century, the Virgin Islands experienced 13 hurricanes, but they came largely in two clusters.

But then between 1989 and 1999 (inclusive) seven hurricanes struck the Territory (including six in the space of four years from 1995–1999).

Hurricane Irma is the most powerful tropical cyclone ever recorded in the Virgin Islands.
