Monthly Tropical Weather Summary
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 AM EDT Thu Sep 1 2022

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

No tropical cyclones formed in the basin during August. This is 
quite unusual and is the first time that has occurred since 
1997, and is only the third time that has happened since 1950.
Based on a 30-year climatology (1991-2020), 3 or 4 named storms 
typically develop in August, with one or two of them becoming 
hurricanes.  A major hurricane forms in August every 1 to 2 
years. No hurricanes have formed in the basin so far this season. 

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 2022 has been well below average compared 
to the long-term (1991-2020) mean.  The ACE to date is only 
9 percent of the median ACE from the long-term climate period 
(1991-2020), and is the 2nd-lowest ACE to date in the satellite 
era (1967-2022).  Only 1988 had lower ACE through the end of August.

Reports on individual cyclones, when completed, are available at
the National Hurricane Center website at
