Atlantic hurricane seasons
2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008

The 2006 Atlantic hurricane season officially started on the date of June 1, 2006, and officially ended on November 30, 2006, dates which by convention limit the period of each year when the majority of tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin. However, if a storm from the previous season persists into the next year, it can be considered part of both seasons, as Tropical Storm Zeta demonstrated. It was less active than the previous year's Atlantic hurricane season; the first since 2001 in which no hurricanes made landfall in the United States of America; and the first since 1994 that no tropical cyclones formed during October.[1] Image File history File links Size of this preview: 782 × 600 pixel Image in higher resolution (4035 × 3094 pixel, file size: 1. ... is the 161st day of the year (162nd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Following the intense activity of 2005, forecasts predicted that the 2006 season would be only slightly less active. But activity was slowed by a rapidly forming El Niño event in 2006, the presence of the Saharan Air Layer over the tropical Atlantic, and the steady presence of a robust secondary high pressure area to the Azores high centered around Bermuda. There were no tropical cyclones after October 2.[2] Chart of ocean surface temperature anomaly [°C] during the last strong El Niño in December 1997 El Niño and La Niña (also written in English as El Nino and La Nina) are major temperature fluctuations in surface waters of the tropical Eastern Pacific Ocean. ...

One system, Tropical Storm Zeta from the 2005 season, continued through early January, only the second such event on record. Tropical Storm Alberto was responsible for two indirect deaths when it made landfall in Florida. Hurricane Ernesto caused heavy rainfall in Haiti, and directly killed at least seven in Haiti and the United States. Four more hurricanes formed after Ernesto, including the strongest storms of the season, Hurricanes Helene and Gordon.

Seasonal forecasts

Forecasts of hurricane activity are issued before each hurricane season by noted hurricane experts Philip J. Klotzbach, Dr. William M. Gray, and their associates at Colorado State University; and separately by NOAA forecasters.

Pre-season forecasts

On December 5, 2005, Klotzbach's team issued its initial extended-range forecast for the 2006 season, predicting an above average of 17 named storms, nine of them hurricanes, and five classified as Category 3 intensity or higher.[3] is the 339th day of the year (340th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... Year 2005 (MMV) was a common year starting on Saturday (link displays full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ...


As in the 2005 season, the team predicted it was highly probable that at least one major hurricane would directly impact the United States. The forecast suggested an 81% probability that at least one major hurricane would strike the U.S. mainland, a 64% chance of at least one major hurricane striking the East Coast of the United States (including the Florida peninsula), and a 47% chance of at least one major hurricane striking the Gulf Coast of the United States from the Florida Panhandle westward. The team also predicted that the potential for major hurricane activity in the Caribbean was above average. A few months later, on April 4, 2006, CSU issued another forecast confirming its December predictions.[6] The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season was the most active Atlantic hurricane season in recorded history, repeatedly shattering previous records. ...

Midseason outlooks

On August 3, 2006, Klotzbach's team lowered its season estimate to 15 named storms, with 7 becoming hurricanes and 3 becoming major hurricanes, noting that conditions had become less favorable for storms than they had been earlier in the year. The sea-level pressure and trade wind strength in the tropical Atlantic were reported to be above normal, while sea surface temperature anomalies were on a decreasing trend.[9] is the 215th day of the year (216th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... Year 2006 (MMVI) was a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...


On August 8, 2006, NOAA revised its season estimate to 12–15 named storms, with 7–9 becoming hurricanes and 3–4 becoming major hurricanes. The reduction was attributed to less favorable environmental conditions, a decrease in La Niña conditions, and the lack of a "very persistent upper-level ridge pattern over the eastern U.S. and western Atlantic."[10] is the 220th day of the year (221st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

The official start of the Atlantic hurricane season is June 1,[14] which is just before Tropical Storm Alberto developed on June 10 in the northwestern Caribbean. It tracked northeastward through the Gulf of Mexico, reaching an intensity of 70 mph (110 km/h) on June 13 before making landfall near Adams Beach, Florida, on June 14.[15] Losing its tropical characteristics, Alberto moved northward and produced heavy rainfall in South Carolina and North Carolina. The remnants tracked off the East Coast and transitioned into a powerful extratropical storm which affected Nova Scotia with high winds, heavy rain, and rough surf, leaving four fisherman missing offshore.[15] Alberto caused record rainfall in North Carolina, peaking at 8 inches (200 mm).[16] In Florida, two people died,[17] and damage estimated at $250,000 (2006 USD) was caused.[18] Image File history File links Download high-resolution version (4400x3600, 3714 KB) Summary File links The following pages on the English Wikipedia link to this file (pages on other projects are not listed): 2006 Atlantic hurricane season User:Cyclone1/2007 Atlantic hurricane season, part duex Tropical Storm Beryl (2006) User...

On July 17, a cold front moved off the Northeast United States coast and stalled; the tail end of the front spawned a low pressure system which tracked to the northeast along the front. Convection increased for a short time, before reaching colder waters and dissipating. Although the system was not believed to be tropical during its existence, post-season analysis revealed that it had attained tropical characteristics for 30 hours, and so it was designated an unnamed tropical storm.[19] is the 198th day of the year (199th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

By late July, a tropical wave moved off the coast of Africa and traversed the Atlantic Ocean. The associated convection organized, and became a tropical depression on July 31. The depression tracked westward and soon intensified into Tropical Storm Chris before reaching peak winds of 65 mph (100 km/h), just before weakening and passing over Cuba as a tropical depression. The storm's effects were limited to moderate rainfall in Hispaniola and Cuba.[21] Image File history File links Download high-resolution version (698x878, 25 KB) David Roth, Hydrometeorological Prediction Center http://www. ...

Hurricane Ernesto originated from a tropical wave which moved off the coast of Africa on August 18. The wave progressed westward and reached the Western Atlantic, spawning a tropical depression on August 24. On August 25 the depression was upgraded to Tropical Storm Ernesto, and the storm was briefly upgraded to a hurricane before striking Florida as a weak tropical storm. Ernesto moved off the U.S. East Coast and made a second landfall on North Carolina before moving inland and dissipating over Canada.[23] Overall, the storm caused $500 million (2006 USD) in the United States[24] and killed at least eleven people, five of them in the United States, and five in Haiti.[23] This article is about the 2006 storm. ... is the 230th day of the year (231st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... is the 236th day of the year (237th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... is the 237th day of the year (238th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

September and October

Hurricane Florence originated on September 3 from the complex merging of two tropical waves, creating one large low pressure area. The disturbance moved westward and became a tropical depression in the open waters of the Atlantic. On September 5, it organized further and was upgraded into Tropical Storm Florence. Florence tracked west-northwest and intensified into a hurricane on September 10 while south of Bermuda. The storm passed just to the east of Bermuda as a Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale as it reached its peak intensity of 90 mph (145 km/h). It moved north before losing its tropical characteristics and passing over the Canadian Maritimes as a strong extratropical storm.[25] Florence affected Bermuda with wind gusts up to 115 mph (185 km/h) and heavy rain which left 23,000 houses without electricity. In all, the storm caused $200,000 (2006 USD) in damage.[26] Current storm status Category 1 hurricane (1-min mean) As of: 11 p. ... is the 246th day of the year (247th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... is the 248th day of the year (249th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... is the 253rd day of the year (254th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

A tropical wave moved off the coast of Africa on September 1. The wave tracked westward across the Atlantic for several days until it reached an area of relaxed wind shear and its associated low pressure area organized into a tropical depression. It moved east-northeast and was upgraded to Tropical Storm Gordon on September 11, while located over the open waters of the Atlantic. Gordon turned north, and became a hurricane on September 13. It intensified to Category 3 status on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale and reached its peak intensity of 120 mph (195 km/h) on September 14. Tracking northward, it began to lose tropical characteristics. On September 20, the system affected Britain with high winds and heavy rain as an extratropical cyclone.[27] During Gordon's passage through Britain, 120,000 homes were left without power after winds of 80 mph (130 km/h) affected the country.[28] is the 244th day of the year (245th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

On September 11, a vigorous tropical wave moved off the west coast of Africa. The wave organized rapidly and spawned a tropical depression to the south-southeast of the Cape Verde Islands. On September 14, the depression intensified into Tropical Storm Helene while tracking west-northwest. Helene continued to intensify and was upgraded to a hurricane on September 16. The storm began to execute a northward track, and reached Category 3 hurricane status on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale on September 18, before reaching its peak intensity of 120 mph (195 km/h). It started to weaken when it reached the cold waters of the North Atlantic, and Helene dissipated on September 20, without having had major effects on land other than moderate wind gusts in the British Isles.[29] is the 254th day of the year (255th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Flooding in North Carolina caused by Tropical Storm Alberto
Flooding in North Carolina caused by Tropical Storm Alberto

Compared to the previous 2005 Atlantic hurricane season, 2006 was not severe in terms of deaths and damage. The season was unusual in that no hurricanes made landfall in the United States, the first such occurrence since 2001.[31] However, three tropical storms made landfall in the United States; the first of them, Tropical Storm Alberto, made landfall in Florida with winds of 50 mph (80 km/h).[15] The storm moved inland, and produced 6–7 inches (150–175 mm) of rain in the area of landfall, and in North Carolina.[32] A total of three indirect deaths resulted from the storm.[33] Tropical Storm Beryl made landfall on Nantucket, causing little or no damage. It generated high waves along the East Coast of the United States, with 19-foot (6 m) seas in the open ocean.[34] The third and more significant storm was Hurricane Ernesto, which killed two people in Virginia.[23] Ernesto made landfall in the Florida Keys, and later made landfall in Miami-Dade county.[35] It moved north and dissipated over Virginia while causing severe flooding. In addition to the two fatalities, the floods left $500 million (2006 USD) in damages.[23] The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season was the most active Atlantic hurricane season in recorded history, repeatedly shattering previous records. ...

Canada was affected by several tropical cyclones during 2006; as Tropical Storm Alberto was becoming extratropical, its remnants spawned strong winds across the Canadian Maritimes, including gusts of 74 mph (119 km/h) in the Barrington district of Nova Scotia.[37] It is reported that the passage of the storm left four sailors missing about 230 miles (370 km) south of Nova Scotia.[15] As an unnamed tropical storm entered the area of responsibility of the Canadian Hurricane Centre, a buoy recorded sustained winds of 36 mph (56 km/h) with gusts up to 44 mph (70 km/h).[38] The remnants of Tropical Storm Beryl dropped moderate precipitation in Atlantic Canada, officially peaking at 2.8 inches (71 mm) in Scotts Bay, Nova Scotia[39] with an unofficially higher total of 3.5 inches (88 mm); in some locations 1 inch (25 mm) of rain fell in an hour. Moderate winds were reported along its path, which peaked at 60 mph (96 km/h) in southern Nova Scotia.[40] As an extratropical storm over Newfoundland, Hurricane Florence produced powerful winds peaking at 101 mph (163 km/h) and moderate amounts of rainfall of up to 2.6 inches (67 mm).[40] Additionally, Hurricane Isaac produced moderate winds on land in Newfoundland, peaking at 60 mph (96 km/h) with a sustained wind of 46 mph (74 km/h) was recorded.[41] Current storm status Category 1 hurricane (1-min mean) As of: 11 p. ...

The National Hurricane Center's pre-season activity outlook predicted 13–16 named storms, 8–10 hurricanes and 4–6 major hurricanes.[7] They also predicted a high risk of at least one major hurricane strike to the Southeast United States. In the event, only nine storms formed during the season, the lowest number since the 1997 season, when there were seven. Five of the nine storms developed into hurricanes—also the lowest number since 1997—and only two attained major hurricane status, tying with 2002 for the fewest since 1997. Only two named storms were observed during October, the lowest number since 1994, when none were seen during that month. Additionally, only three named storms made landfall in the United States, the fewest since 2001.[2] Because of several factors, including a rapidly forming El Niño event, Saharan Air Layer over the tropical Atlantic and the presence of high pressure area to the Azores high situated near Bermuda contributed to a below average season.[7] Also, sea surface temperatures in the western Atlantic were just at or slightly below average. In contrast, sea surface temperatures during the 2005 season were well above average.[42]

The table on the right shows the ACE for each storm in the season. ACE is, broadly speaking, a measure of the power of the hurricane multiplied by the length of time it existed, so storms that last a long time, as well as particularly strong hurricanes, have high ACEs. ACE is only calculated for full advisories on tropical systems at or exceeding 35 knots (39 mph/63 km/h), or tropical storm strength.[43] Lowest pressure 955 mbar (hPa)[1] Damage None reported Fatalities None reported Areas affected Northern British Isles (while extratropical) Part of the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season Hurricane Helene was the strongest hurricane of the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season alongside Hurricane Gordon, and was the ninth tropical storm, fourth hurricane and...

The cumulative ACE for the 2006 season was toward the lower end of the official "Near Normal" grading. The number of tropical storms and hurricanes was near the long-term average.[44] Hurricane Helen had the highest rating of the season with a total ACE of 24.3, and Hurricane Gordon came in second highest, having a total ACE of 22.2. The unnamed tropical storm had the lowest, totaling to 0.654. The season total ACE was 78.535.

Climate Prediction Center - Atlantic Hurricane Outlook Update (2341 words)
Hurricane disasters can occur whether the season is active or quiet. Residents, businesses, and government agencies of coastal and near-coastal regions should prepare for every hurricane season regardless of the seasonal outlook.
Hurricane landfalls are largely determined by the weather patterns in place as the hurricane approaches, which are not predictable more than 5-7 days in advance.
Hurricane seasons during 1995-2007 have averaged 14.5 named storms, 8 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes, with an average ACE index of 167% of the median.
NASA - The 2006 Hurricane Season Was Near Normal (1839 words)
In 2006, the Atlantic factors included lower sea-surface temperatures, the switch from weak La Nina to weak El Niño conditions and changes in the large-scale steering flow of winds associated with the Bermuda High (a semi-permanent high pressure system near Bermuda in the Atlantic that moves storms around it in a clockwise motion).
Although 2006 was somewhat more active, and the dust played more of a role in whether or not individual storms were able to intensify, rather than limiting the overall number of storms that formed during the entire season.
Although the Atlantic Ocean experienced a much calmer hurricane season in 2006 than it did in 2005, some of the factors that made it that way may or may not be in place during the 2007 season, and NASA scientists will be keeping a close eye on the Atlantic.
