Season Summary[]
The 2028 Atlantic hurricane season began on June 1st, 2028 and ended November 30th, 2028.
The season kicked off with Tropical Storm Alex forming on June 15th, up to Two Weeks after the official Start of the season.
Two storms were observed in July, however, Hurricane Bonnie and Tropical Storm Colin, with Bonnie nearly Attaining Major Hurricane Status whilst skirting The Eastern US Coast, bringing Tropical Storm Force Winds to Nags Head, NC at one point due to the size of the Tropical Storm wind-field.
In August, Four Cyclones formed in the month, TD Four was a Cape Verde Type Cyclone that brought rainfall to the Islands without significant effect.
Danielle was the most significant Storm of August, bringing Devastation to Mexico as it made landfall as a Strong Category-3.
September was the most active month of the year, Four Cyclones formed, but unlike August, all of the storms this month became named storms, 3 became Hurricanes, and 2 became Major Hurricanes.
Hurricanes Fiona and Gaston both became Category-4 storms, and were both Category-4s at the same time briefly before Fiona Weakened.
Later in the same month, Storms Hermine and Ian caused problems along the East Coast, spreading rainfall and Tropical Storm Force winds along the east coast and eastern states.
Things Quieted down by October, Dry and Wind-Shear had Returned over the Atlantic, and waters began to cool by this time of year.
