Timeline of the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season


The 2014 Atlantic hurricane season was a below-average Atlantic hurricane season, featuring the fewest number of named storms since 1997. The season officially began on June 1 and ended on November 30, dates that conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones develop in the Atlantic basin. The season's first storm, Hurricane Arthur, developed on July 1; the season's final storm, Tropical Storm Hanna, degenerated on October 28.

The season featured nine tropical cyclones, of which eight further intensified into tropical storms and six further intensified into hurricanes (including two major hurricanes). Impact throughout the year was widespread. In early July, Hurricane Arthur moved ashore near Cape Lookout, North Carolina, resulting in minor damage and one indirect death. In August, hurricanes Bertha and Cristobal moved across the southwestern Atlantic, causing minimal damage and several fatalities. In September, Tropical Storm Dolly moved ashore the coastline of eastern Mexico, killing one and inflicting unsubstantial damage, while Hurricane Edouard created large swells that impacted the East Coast of the United States and killed two people. In October, hurricanes Fay and Gonzalo moved ashore Bermuda, marking the first time more than one tropical cyclone made landfall on the island in a single season on record. Hanna impacted Central America later that month but caused no damage.
