Historically quiet September
September ended without a single Atlantic hurricane, the first time that has happened since 1994. More remarkably, this is the first time in more than a century, since 1914, that the Atlantic season has reached the end of September without producing a hurricane. Several tropical storms formed, but none reached hurricane strength, making this one of the quietest hurricane seasons on record through September.
