The 1949 Atlantic hurricane season was the last season that tropical cyclones were not publicly named by the United States Weather Bureau. It officially began on June 15, and lasted until November 15. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin. The first storm, Hurricane One, developed north of the Lesser Antilles on August 21. The final system, Tropical Storm Sixteen, dissipated in the southwestern Caribbean Sea on November 5. It was a fairly active season, featuring 16 tropical storms and seven hurricanes. Two of these strengthened into major hurricanes, which are Category 3 or higher on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale.〔 The most significant storm of the season was Hurricane Two. It caused up to $52 million (1949 USD) and two deaths after making landfall in Florida as a Category 4 hurricane. Another storm inflicting severe impact was Hurricane Ten, nicknamed the ''1949 Texas hurricane''. Striking Texas as a Category 2 hurricane, this storm brought heavy rainfall, strong winds, and storm surge to the state, with damage reaching about $6.7 million. In late September, Hurricane Nine caused 15 deaths and over $1 million in damage in Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic. The third tropical storm caused seven fatalities from drowning on Barbados. Several other systems brought minor impacts to land. Overall, storms during this season caused about $59.8 million in damage and 26 fatalities. ==Season summary== ImageSize = width:800 height:200 PlotArea = top:10 bottom:80 right:20 left:20 Legend = columns:3 left:30 top:58 columnwidth:270 AlignBars = early DateFormat = dd/mm/yyyy Period = from:01/08/1949 till:01/12/1949 TimeAxis = orientation:horizontal ScaleMinor = grid:black unit:month increment:1 start:01/08/1949 Colors = id:canvas value:gray(0.88) id:GP value:red id:TD value:rgb(0.38,0.73,1) legend:Tropical_Depression_=_<39_mph_(0–62_km/h)_(TD) id:TS value:rgb(0,0.98,0.96) legend:Tropical_Storm_=_39–73_mph_(63–117 km/h)_(TS) id:C1 value:rgb(1,1,0.80) legend:Category_1_=_74–95_mph_(119–153_km/h)_(C1) id:C2 value:rgb(1,0.91,0.46) legend:Category_2_=_96–110_mph_(154–177_km/h)_(C2) id:C3 value:rgb(1,0.76,0.25) legend:Category_3_=_111–130_mph_(178–209-km/h)_(C3) id:C4 value:rgb(1,0.56,0.13) legend:Category_4_=_131–155_mph_(210–249_km/h)_(C4) id:C5 value:rgb(1,0.38,0.38) legend:Category_5_=_>=156_mph_(>=250_km/h)_(C5) Backgroundcolors = canvas:canvas BarData = barset:Hurricane bar:Month PlotData= barset:Hurricane width:10 align:left fontsize:S shift:(4,-4) anchor:till from:21/08/1949 till:25/08/1949 color:C2 text:"One (C2)" from:23/08/1949 till:29/08/1949 color:C4 text:"Two (C4)" from:30/08/1949 till:03/09/1949 color:TS text:"Three (TS)" from:03/09/1949 till:10/09/1949 color:C3 text:"Four (C3)" from:03/09/1949 till:05/09/1949 color:TS text:"Five (TS)" from:05/09/1949 till:12/09/1949 color:TS text:"Six (TS)" from:11/09/1949 till:14/09/1949 color:TS text:"Seven (TS)" barset:break from:13/09/1949 till:17/09/1949 color:TS text:"Eight (TS)" from:20/09/1949 till:26/09/1949 color:C2 text:"Nine (C2)" from:20/09/1949 till:22/09/1949 color:C1 text:"Ten (C1)" from:27/09/1949 till:06/10/1949 color:C2 text:"Eleven (C4)" from:02/10/1949 till:07/10/1949 color:TS text:"Twelve (TS)" from:12/10/1949 till:19/10/1949 color:C1 text:"Thirteen (C1)" from:13/10/1949 till:17/10/1949 color:TS text:"Fourteen (TS)" barset:break from:01/11/1949 till:05/11/1949 color:TS text:"Fifteen (TS)" from:03/11/1949 till:05/11/1949 color:TS text:"Sixteen (TS)" bar:Month width:5 align:center fontsize:S shift:(0,-20) anchor:middle color:canvas from:01/08/1949 till:01/09/1949 text:August from:01/09/1949 till:01/10/1949 text:September from:01/10/1949 till:01/11/1949 text:October from:01/11/1949 till:01/12/1949 text:November TextData = pos:(570,30) text:"(From the" pos:(617,30) text:"Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale)" The Atlantic hurricane season officially began on June 15, 1949.〔 However, tropical cyclogenesis did not begin until August 21, over two months after the start of the season. Overall, there were 16 tropical storms, seven of which strengthened into hurricanes. Three of these intensified into major hurricanes, which are Category 3 or higher on the modern day Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale (SSHWS). Four hurricanes and three tropical storms made landfall during the season, causing 26 deaths and $59.8 million in damage.〔〔〔〔 The last storm of the season, Tropical Storm Sixteen, dissipated on November 5, about 10 days before the official end of the season on November 15.〔 No activity was observed until the first system was located north of the Lesser Antilles on August 21. The hurricane later threatened the Outer Banks of North Carolina, where it caused two deaths and about $50,000 in damage.〔 By August 23, the Florida hurricane developed near the Lesser Antilles. It later peaked as a low-end Category 4 hurricane on the modern day Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale and struck South Florida at that intensity. The storm severely impacted the Florida peninsula and left two deaths and approximately $52 million in losses. On August 30, the third system of the season struck the Leeward Islands,〔 causing some impact and seven deaths by drowning on Barbados.〔 A fourth system was first observed near Puerto Rico on September 3. It peaked as a Category 3 hurricane while passing east on Bermuda. After becoming extratropical, the remnants of this storm struck Newfoundland. Tropical Storm Five also developed on September 3, in the southern Gulf of Mexico and struck Louisiana on September 4.〔 It caused minor damage in Mississippi and Louisiana, totaling less than $50,000.〔 Neither the sixth or seventh tropical systems impacted land.〔 The eighth hurricane was initially observed in the Gulf of Mexico on September 20. It meandered erratically for several days, until eventually making landfall in Veracruz.〔 The system produced above normal tides and locally heavy rains in Texas and Louisiana.〔 Hurricane Nine was initially spotted near the Leeward Islands on September 20. It struck Dominican Republic on September 22, shortly before dissipating.〔 The storm left over $1 million in damage and 15 deaths in Dominican Republican and Puerto Rico.〔 On September 27, the tenth hurricane developed in the Pacific Ocean offshore Guatemala. The system eventually reached the Gulf of Mexico and struck Texas as a Category 2 hurricane on October 4.〔 The adverse effects of this storm resulted in two deaths and $6.7 million in damage.〔〔 No impact was reported from the final three storms, the last of which dissipated on November 5.〔 The season's activity was reflected with an accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) rating of 98. ACE is, broadly speaking, a measure of the power of the hurricane multiplied by the length of time it existed, so storms that last a long time, as well as particularly strong hurricanes, have high ACEs. ACE is only calculated for full advisories on tropical systems at or exceeding 39 mph (63 km/h) or tropical storm strength. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1949 Atlantic hurricane season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
