800 AM EDT Wed Dec 1 2021

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

No tropical cyclones formed in the basin during November. However, 
Tropical Storm Wanda continued from the end of October through the 
first seven days of November.  Based on a 30-year climatology 
(1991-2020), a tropical storm forms in November every one to two 
years.

Overall, the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season featured above normal 
activity. Twenty-one named storms formed, of which seven became 
hurricanes and four became major hurricanes - category 3 or higher 
on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.  This compares to the 
long-term averages of 14 named storms, 7 hurricanes, and 3 major 
hurricanes. In terms of Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE), which 
measures the strength and duration of tropical storms and 
hurricanes, activity in the basin in 2021 was also above normal, 
about 20 percent above the long-term (1991-2020) mean.
