1918 Atlantic hurricane season
The 1918 Atlantic hurricane season was relatively inactive, with only six known tropical cyclones forming in the Atlantic during the summer and fall. There were four suspected tropical depressions, including one that began the season in June and one that ended the season when it dissipated in October. Four storms intensified into hurricanes, one of which attained Category 3 status on the modern-day Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Storm data is largely based on the Atlantic hurricane database, which underwent a thorough revision for the Atlantic hurricane season of 1918 in 2008.
Most of the cyclones directly impacted land. A northward-moving hurricane killed 34 people and severely damaged Cameron, Louisiana, and the surrounding area in early August. A few weeks later, Honduras and Belize experienced hurricane-force winds and heavy rainfall from a storm that traversed much of the Caribbean Sea. Tropical storm-force winds were also experienced along the North Carolina coastline in late August as a hurricane brushed the Outer banks of the state. In early September, the extratropical remnants of a cyclone impacted Nova Scotia, and tropical storm conditions were observed on many of the Caribbean Islands, especially the island of Jamaica.
==Season summary==
The Atlantic hurricane database (HURDAT) officially recognizes six tropical cyclones from the 1918 season. Four attained hurricane status, with winds of or greater. The first hurricane of the season was the most intense storm, with a minimum central air pressure of . Four weak tropical depressions developed and remained below tropical storm force; the first formed in June and the fourth in October. The first storm to reach tropical storm intensity developed on August 1, and the final tropical storm of the year dissipated on September 14.
The early 1900s lacked modern forecasting and documentation. The hurricane database from these years is sometimes found to be incomplete or incorrect, and new storms are continually being added as part of the ongoing Atlantic hurricane reanalysis. The period from 1915 through 1920 was reanalyzed in 2008. Four previously unknown tropical cyclones were identified using records including historical weather maps and ship reports, and information on the known storms was amended and corrected. These storms are referred to simply by their number in chronological order, since tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean were not given official names until much later.
