Although Hurricane Emmy left little damage in the Azores, poor weather conditions resulted in a plane crash at Lajes Field, killing 68 people.

Suppression of activity in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean was primarily attributed to early intrusions of cold air – with unusually cold air masses impacting much of the United States east of the Rocky Mountains during October – and a persistent area of above average vertical wind shear over the western Caribbean.

[20] Farther north, the storm dropped rainfall in a few other states, with a peak precipitation total of 7.57 in (192 mm) at Sullivan's Island, South Carolina.

Formation of an eye accompanied quick intensification and Belle reached its peak the following day with maximum sustained winds of 120 mph (195 km/h).

Early on August 10, Belle made landfall in Long Island, New York, as a minimal hurricane before moving inland over southern New England as a tropical storm hours later.

[4][5][6] In Canada, heavy rains fell across New Brunswick, amounting to 7 in (180 mm) in Edmundston, triggering flooding that damaged crops, homes, and roads.

By the time Dottie made landfall in Charleston, South Carolina, early on August 21, it was barely of tropical storm intensity.

[21] However, impact from the precipitation was mainly limited to street flooding in several cities,[31] which delayed the commute of thousands of motorists during morning rush hour traffic, especially in Miami.

[34] Around 12:00 UTC on August 18, the low developed into a tropical depression about 200 mi (320 km) west-southwest of the island,[2] after satellite imagery showed better organization and a ship reporting winds gusting to 46 mph (74 km/h).

The wave moved westward at 17 to 23 mph (27 to 37 km/h) before developing into a tropical depression on August 20,[9] while it was situated approximately 1,150 mi (1,850 km) east of the Lesser Antilles.

[9] After intensifying into a Category 1 hurricane on August 25,[2] the storm began moving eastward due to a frontal low pressure system located to the northeast.

[9] At 12:00 UTC, Emmy attained its peak intensity with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph (165 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 974 mbar (28.8 inHg).

[2] Between late on the following day and early on September 4, Emmy passed through the Azores, before being absorbed by Hurricane Frances shortly after moving north of the islands.

[36] After moving westward for three days, the system developed into a tropical depression about 860 mi (1,380 km) west-southwest of the southwesternmost Cape Verde Islands.

The storm began curving northwestward due to a weakness in the Azores High caused by the recent passage of Hurricane Emmy.

Strengthening further, Frances peaked as a Category 3 hurricane at 06:00 UTC on September 1,[2] with reconnaissance measuring sustained winds of 115 mph (185 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 963 mbar (28.4 inHg).

[2] The weakness in the Azores High continued to influence the storm's path, causing Frances to recurve to the east around that time.

[36] The transition to an extratropical cyclone was fully completed at 12:00 UTC on September 4, with Frances centered about 345 mi (555 km) south-southwest of Flores Island in the Azores.

[2] Tides produced by the storm ranged from 2–3 ft (0.61–0.91 m) above normal along the coast of the Carolinas, leaving minor beach erosion.

[38] However, in central and southern Maryland, where the storm dropped a peak total of 6.45 in (164 mm) of precipitation in Towson,[39] downpours resulted in flooding.

Heavy precipitation delayed commutes, while water entered some homes, flooded roads, and resulted in a few school closures.

While the wave moved west-northwestward at about 12 mph (19 km/h), an upper-tropospheric cold low pressure interacted with and later merged with the system, causing cloud features to become better organized by September 23.

After three days, the low-level circulation became well-defined, resulting in the development of a tropical depression about 400 mi (640 km) northeast of the Lesser Antilles.

Gloria peaked with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph (165 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 970 mbar (29 inHg) at 12:00 UTC on September 30,[2] based on reconnaissance observations and satellite imagery.

Gloria also began losing tropical characteristics and became extratropical about 200 mi (320 km) west-southwest of the northwesternmost islands of the Azores at 00:00 UTC on October 5.

The wave initially remained relatively weak, until convection began concentrating near the center while it was situated well east of the Lesser Antilles on October 20.

At 12:00 UTC on October 24, Holly became a Category 1 hurricane and peaked with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph (120 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 990 mbar (29 inHg).

However, it failed to become a tropical storm before weakening and dissipating about 155 mi (250 km) south of Nantucket island in Massachusetts on June 9.

Activity in the Atlantic then ceased for more than a month, until a tropical depression formed about 355 mi (570 km) southeast of Cape Hatteras in North Carolina on July 20.

Tracking northward, the depression made landfall in southeastern Louisiana with winds of 30 mph (45 km/h) late on September 24, before quickly dissipating over Mississippi.
