1982 Atlantic hurricane season

Alberto threatened the Southwestern Florida coast as a tropical storm, meadering offshore in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico and causing 23 fatalities in Cuba.

Tropical Depression Three formed just behind Beryl, tracking east and north of the Caribbean sea in early September.

Chris stayed a weak storm, making landfall near Sabine Pass, Texas, and dissipating over land on September 13.

The formative stage of Debby produced rainfall in Puerto Rico, causing one death on the island, and soon strengthened into a Category 4 major hurricane.

In mid-September, Tropical Depression Six formed west of Africa, and tracked west-northwest, dissipating before reaching the Leeward Islands on September 20.

[4] The season's activity was reflected with a cumulative accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) rating of 32,[5] which is classified as "below normal".

A surface low-pressure area developed an organized cloud system, leading to the formation of a tropical depression off the northeastern Yucatán Peninsula on June 2.

[9] Due to strengthening vertical wind shear, Alberto then quickly weakened into a tropical storm, doubled back to the west, and dissipated near the Florida Keys on June 6.

[13] Over 50,000 people were forced to evacuated and approximately 9,000 homes in Pinar del Río Province alone suffered damaged.

[19][20] The first subtropical storm of the season formed in the east-central Gulf of Mexico on June 18, and moved northeast for its entire life cycle.

The cyclone also dropped heavy rainfall, peaking at 10.72 inches (272 mm) eight miles (13 km) southwest of DeSoto County, Florida.

[21] The storm continued, crossing the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and retained its strength until June 20 when it became extratropical near Newfoundland.

[24] Shortly after, strong wind shear caused the storm to deteriorate, leaving the low-level circulation exposed on the western side.

On September 5, a reconnaissance flight into the depression found winds of 65 mph (105 km/h); this was deemed unrepresentative of the actual intensity as it was recorded in a squall line.

[25] Early in its duration, Tropical Storm Beryl produced heavy rainfall and gusty winds on the Cape Verde island of Sal.

[26] In the period after the storm's passage, the United States provided humanitarian aid and economic assistance to the country, helping the archipelago to reverse the effects of Beryl.

Under the influence of a trough of low pressure, the depression turned northward, and after steadily becoming better organized it transitioned into Tropical Storm Chris by late on September 10.

Debby continued strengthening as it moved north, peaking as a Category 4 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 130 mph (215 km/h).

[33] Debby became extratropical over the far north Atlantic and merged with a strong non-tropical system which was developing over British Isles on September 20.

[34] The precursor disturbance to Debby dropped heavy rainfall across Puerto Rico, peaking at 12.86 inches (327 mm) in the southwestern portion of the island.

[40] The remnant area of disturbed weather from Tropical Depression Six continued moving west-northwest into the southwest north Atlantic.
