Monthly Tropical Weather Summary

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

Tropical cyclone activity in the Atlantic basin during September was 
above normal in terms of the numbers of named storms, and major 
hurricanes. Nine named storms formed in the Atlantic basin in 
September, with three of them becoming hurricanes, and two of those 
becoming major hurricanes. Larry was a long-lived category 3 
hurricane that ultimately made landfall in Newfoundland as a 
Category 1 hurricane, while Nicholas made landfall near Sargent 
Beach, Texas, as a Category 1 hurricane. Based on a 30-year 
climatology (1991-2020), four named storms typically develop in 
September, with three of them becoming hurricanes, and one of those 
becoming a major hurricane.

In terms of Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE), which measures the 
strength and duration of tropical storms and hurricanes, activity in 
the basin so far in 2021 has also been above normal, almost 50 
percent above the long-term mean.  The 20 named storms through the 
end of September is well above the 30-year (1991-2020) average of 9 
to 10 named storms by the end of September.
