[2] The season's activity was reflected with a cumulative accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) rating of 36,[11] which is classified as "below normal".
[13] In early June, a large area of disturbed weather persisted over the Greater Antilles, bringing heavy rains to the islands.
[4][14] The depression moved to the northwest and transitioned into a tropical storm on June 6; it was named Andrew about 258 mi (415 km) southeast of Charleston, South Carolina.
Tracking west-northwestward, it developed into Tropical Depression Two on June 23 while located about 330 miles (535 km) south of Pensacola, Florida.
The storm quickly weakened over land as it turned to the north and northeast, and on June 28 it was absorbed by an approaching frontal zone in southeastern Missouri.
Upon making landfall, Hurricane Bonnie produced a storm surge peaking at 5.2 feet (1.5 m) at Sabine Pass.
The hurricane also spawned eleven tornadoes, which, in combination with moderate winds, destroyed about 25 residencies in southwestern Louisiana.
[21] The third tropical depression of the season was detected early on July 27 in the open waters of the Atlantic, north of Bermuda.
The third tropical storm and second hurricane of the season, Charley formed as a subtropical low on August 13 along the Florida panhandle.
It gradually weakened over the north Atlantic Ocean before transitioning into an extratropical cyclone, though its remnants remained identifiable for over a week until after crossing the British Isles and dissipating on August 30.
[28] In North Carolina, where the hurricane made landfall, tidal flooding and downed trees were the primary impact.
[27] As an extratropical cyclone, Charley brought heavy rainfall and strong winds to Ireland and the United Kingdom, causing at least 11 deaths.
The system formed into a weak tropical depression before crossing the Yucatán peninsula, becoming better organized as it moved into the south-central and western Gulf of Mexico between September 1 and 3.
Satellite imagery revealed that its residual cloud pattern persisted over Mexico for an additional couple of days before degenerating.
Heavy rainfall fell primarily north of its track, with the maximum across northeast Mexico falling at El Barranco/Altamira, where a total of 9.33 inches (237 mm) was measured.
Danielle peaked as a 60 mph (97 km/h) storm on September 8, while Reconnaissance Aircraft reported gusts of up to hurricane force.
After passing through the Lesser Antilles, Danielle encountered vertical wind shear, and on September 10 it dissipated in the central Caribbean.
In the Grenadines, the storm drove a coast guard ship aground,[33] while five people were injured and hundreds of homes were destroyed.
Torrential rainfall produced several mudslides, which, in turn, damaged roads, bridges, electricity, and water services.
[37] First spotted as a tropical disturbance near the Lesser Antilles on November 15, the system moved generally northward while slowly developing.
However, a surface high-pressure system to the north caused the storm to weaken as the vertical wind shear increased over its center.
It includes their name, duration, peak classification and intensities, areas affected, damage, and death totals.
