A hurricane was first detected in the eastern tropical Atlantic on August 28. Moving northwest on August 29, the system continued to strengthen, eventually reaching a peak of 110 mph (130 km/h) as a Category 2 hurricane in the central North Atlantic on September 1. The hurricane then began to curve northeast late on September 1 and September 2 while maintaining intensity, eventually weakening to a 90 mph (110 km/h) Category 1 hurricane on September 5. The system became extratropical shortly thereafter on September 6, and the system dissipated while nearing the British Isles. As the system never affected land, no casualties were reported.
