[4] TSR issued its first forecast a few days later and predicted that the season would feature 9.6 tropical storms, 5.7 hurricanes, 3.3 major hurricanes, and predicted that the accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) rating would be 145. The death toll includes all indirect deaths, such as traffic accidents or electrocutions. [52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59] In November, Tropical Storm Gamma killed two people in Bequia in the Grenadines, 34 people in Honduras, and 3 in Belize. The storm accelerated northeastward and passed southeast of Cape Cod. Alpha weakened to a tropical depression over Hispaniola's steep mountains. Upper Air Sounding, Forecasts After five years of analysis, researchers were unable to confirm whether the recent increase in tropical cyclone activity could be attributed more to climate change than natural variability. 15 hurricanes in a season. Vince was the first tropical cyclone on record to make landfall in Spain. Sorry, the location you searched for was not found. Broke the record of two set in 1960 an 1961. [147][148] Cancún's airport was closed to the public in the days after the storm, forcing stranded visitors to fly out of Mérida, Yucatán, the region's closest functioning airport. [46], In its formative stages, Wilma's large circulation spread across much of the western Caribbean Sea, killing 12 people in Haiti and one in Jamaica. Storm surge also damaged homes in adjoining Jefferson County in Texas. Wilma moved slowly through the warm waters of the western Caribbean Sea and began a period of rapid deepening on October 18 that lasted into the following day. In Miami Beach, Florida, a student died when she was caught in a rip current. [88] Due to strong wind shear, Harvey initially exhibited subtropical characteristics. Epsilon degenerated into a remnant low on December 8; the circulation dissipated two days later. National While this list is not meant to be all inclusive, it gives some perspective on the tremendous amount of activity seen in the 2005 hurricane season. Moving westward, Emily strengthened into a minimal hurricane and struck Grenada at that intensity on July 14. The circulation that absorbed Philippe dropped light rainfall on the island, and was responsible for the lowest barometric pressure during the month. Aviation Weather Local Data and Records The 2005 Atlantic Hurricane season broke record after record: most named storms, lowest pressure measured in the Atlantic, longest-lived December hurricane, and the list goes on. [46] Wilma set a record in Mexico, and for the entire Western Hemisphere, for the highest 24 hour rainfall total, with 64.330 in (1,633.98 mm) recorded at Isla Mujeres. This is the current list in use by the National Hurricane Centre. Epsilon lasted as a hurricane until December 7, the most for any Atlantic tropical cyclone in December. After moving away from the island, Harvey attained peak winds of 65 mph (100 km/h) late on August 4 and continued northeastward for a few days, transitioning into an extratropical storm on August 9. Virtual Office Tour. Early on September 19, Philippe attained hurricane status and reached peak winds of 80 mph (130 km/h) a day later. [128] Over $1 billion in federal assistance was also disbursed to Texas. Tropical Depression Eight formed on August 2 southwest of Bermuda from a tropical wave that left the African coast on July 22. [14] Dennis left $2.23 billion in damage along the Florida Panhandle. [107] Various countries and international agencies sent supplies or financial aid to assist in the hurricane response. [94], While drenching Mexico's Gulf coast, Jose forced some 25,000 residents from their homes in Veracruz state and damaged at least 16,000 homes in the state. A high-latitude tropical wave led to the genesis of Tropical Depression Nine west of Cabo Verde on August 4. [135][136] In Honduras, the weather system killed seven people and left US$100 million in damage. [90] Rip currents near Long Beach, New York killed a 16-year-old boy. First season that the Greek Alphabet had to be used. On September 23, Philippe weakened to a tropical depression and later a remnant low; it was absorbed by the larger non-tropical cyclone a day later. Observed Precipitation [5], During January 2005, TSR increased its forecast to 13.9 tropical storms, 7.8 hurricanes, 3.6 major hurricanes, and predicted that the ACE rating would be 157. The cyclone did not persist long over water, instead moving ashore north of Cabo Rojo, Mexico, with 45 mph (75 km/h) winds early on July 25. [73] The depression crossed the Yucatán Peninsula and dropped rainfall, reaching 2.8 in (71 mm) in Cancún. (65 knots to 160 knots). Rivers and Lakes [31], The storms of the season were extraordinarily damaging and were responsible for significant loss of life. It was also decided that it was not practical to retire a Greek letter. From there, the devastating season eventually produced Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma, all hitting Category-5 at some point. High pressure directed the cyclone toward the west-northwest, and the depression intensified into Tropical Storm Stan shortly before making landfall along the eastern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. Hurricane Stan in October was part of a broader weather system that killed 1,668 people and caused $3.96 billion in damage to eastern Mexico and Central America, with Guatemala hit the hardest. [157] Damage throughout the Canary Islands was estimated at €312 million ($364 million 2005 US dollars). [72] The floods forced the evacuation of approximately 2,800 people,[41]:251 damaged around 3,000 houses, isolated 66 villages, and caused about $100 million (MXN, US$9.2 million) in damage. (This has happened only once, in 2005.) The storm attained peak winds of 40 mph (65 km/h) while located between Bermuda and the Azores. An approaching trough turned Franklin to the northwest and weakened Franklin to a minimal tropical storm. [141][142], Subtropical Depression Twenty-Two formed from a non-tropical low 450 miles (725 km) southeast of Bermuda on October 8. [170], After the season had ended, the World Meteorological Organization's hurricane committee retired five names: Dennis, Katrina, Rita, Stan and Wilma and replaced them with Don, Katia, Rina, Sean and Whitney for the 2011 season. The remnants of Tropical Depression Ten continued drifting northwestward before degenerating into a tropical wave north of the Leeward Islands. It also produced the second-highest accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) in the Atlantic basin, surpassed only by the 1933 season. Zeta weakened again as it turned westward, degenerating into a remnant low on January 6; the circulation dissipated on the next day to the southeast of Bermuda. This image provides a summary of the season, with the track of each named storm marked in black. A record 15 storms attained hurricane status, with maximum sustained winds of at least 74 mph (119 km/h); of those, a record seven became major hurricanes, which are a Category 3 or higher on the Saffir–Simpson scale. [46][41], In the Caribbean, Cuba suffered the effects of Dennis and Wilma. [43] Torrential rainfall across this region killed 1,513 people in Guatemala,[42] making it the deadliest natural disaster in the country's history. However, that record would also be surpassed in 2005, with seven major hurricanes that year. It was absorbed by a larger extratropical storm on October 6. Marine Weather [167][168] The 2005 season was the first season to trigger this policy. Earliest Category 5 Hurricane in the Atlantic Basin (Emily), Seven Tropical Storms prior to August 1, 2005. Weather History In 6 hours, Wilma deepened 54mb. [75], A tropical wave led to the development of Tropical Depression Four in the southeastern Caribbean late on July 4 and further strengthened into Tropical Storm Dennis early the next day. On October 24, Wilma made landfall in southwestern Florida at Cape Romano with winds of 120 mph (190 km/h). Most damaging hurricane ever. The damage total in El Salvador included impacts from a simultaneous volcano eruption. This breaks the record for most named storms in October, previously six in 1950. Gamma meandered in the Caribbean Sea for a short time, until slowly weakening and eventually disintegrating into a remnant low late on November 20. The tropical cyclone moved northwest and steadily organized as upper-level winds became more conducive. This ties the record for most hurricanes in September set in 1955, 1969, 1981, 1998,... October. The consecutive occurrence of hurricane seasons as active as 2004 and 2005 in the Atlantic was unprecedented. This new system would become Tropical Depression Twelve over the Bahamas and, eventually, Hurricane Katrina. [5] This was followed on May 16 by NOAA, who predicted a 70% chance of above normal activity, with 12–15 tropical storms, 7–9 hurricanes, and 3–5 major hurricanes. Two intense hurricanes formed. It continued inland, affecting the same areas impacted by Hurricane Emily just days prior, and quickly dissipated over high terrain at the end of that day. At the center of a mature hurricane, air sinks … As convection increased near the center, the depression intensified into Tropical Storm Gert early on July 24. [162] It weakened on January 2, only to re-intensify to its peak intensity on January 3. This depression quickly intensified into Tropical Storm Nate, which moved slowly northeastward. A table of the storms that formed during the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season is given below: it includes storm name, duration, peak strength, areas affected, damage, and death total. [21] This focusing mechanism led to a complementary reduction in storms developing close to Cape Verde. Some weather models predicted relaxing shear and intensification of the system;[93] however, the hostile conditions ripped the system apart, and the NHC discontinued advisories on August 14 when no organized deep convection remained. Although Vince was a very small and short-lived storm that only briefly reached hurricane strength, it was notable for developing in the northeastern Atlantic, well away from where hurricanes usually form. This breaks the record for most named storms in October, previously six in 1950. [33][99] Katrina then crossed the Breton Sound, making a third and final landfall with 120 mph (190 km/h) winds near Pearlington, Mississippi. Only the name Wilfred remains unused. [16], The hardest-hit area was the United States Gulf Coast from eastern Texas to Florida, affected to varying degrees by Arlene, Cindy, Dennis, Katrina, Ophelia, Rita, Tammy, and Wilma. The most devastating effects of the season were felt on the Gulf Coast of the United States, where Katrina's storm surge crippled New Orleans, Louisiana, for weeks and devastated the Mississippi coastline. 125.5 named storm days were recorded in the 2005 season. Seabreeze Climatology As the storm moved to the north and northeast, it intensified; on July 23, Franklin attained peak winds of 70 mph (110 km/h). [41] Mexico's development bank – Nacional Financiera – provided financial assistance for businesses affected by Wilma and Stan through a $400 million fund (MXN, US$38 million). 10, Nate intensified into tropical depression Twelve over the last two or hurricane.
