The 2171 Atlantic hurricane season featured no tropical cyclones in October or hurricanes after July, two extremely unusual feats. The season began on June 1, 2171, and ended on November 30, 2171, dates that conventionally delimit the timeframe for tropical cyclogenesis. Overall, the 2171 season was inactive because of a strong El Niño, featuring eight total storms and two unnamed tropical depressions, despite an active start.
The first storm, Hurricane Allyson, developed on June 24 over the Caribbean Sea. It made landfall over rural Cuba before moving out to sea and dissipating on July 1. Tropical Storm Brett was the first storm of a July tropical cyclone outbreak, lasting from July 3 to July 5, but did not affect land. Next, Hurricane Celia posed a significant threat to the United States East Coast, but due to its small size, it resulted in relatively minor impact of $300 million (2171 USD) and five deaths. Elsewhere, Tropical Storm Fred caused minor surf along the west coast of Portugal and Hurricane Edith killed one person out at sea. Tropical Depression Four and Six, as well as Tropical Storms David, Gracie and Horace, also did not affect land. Overall, the systems of the 2171 season caused 15 deaths and $600 million (2171 USD) in damage.
