2020 Hurricane Season

In 2020, there were more hurricanes in the Atlantic Basin than there were names for them. So forecasters turned to the Greek alphabet for more names. But that won't happen this year. One of the National Hurricane Center's chief scientists explains why.

Named storms have formed in the Atlantic before the official June 1 start of hurricane season in each of the last six years. The National Hurricane Center is discussing starting the season in May.

It was a season that killed hundreds of people, ravaged some regions like Louisiana, Central America and Puerto Rico over and over again, left behind billions of dollars in damages and stunned even the most experienced meteorologists with its unrelenting pace.
