| - Hurricane Claudette was the third named storm, second hurricane, and second major hurricane of the 1991 Atlantic hurricane season. Claudette was the final major hurricane of the season, as well as the strongest, reaching Category 4 status on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale while in the open Atlantic Ocean. Claudette developed on September 4 while located southeast of the island of Bermuda. Claudette became extratropical on September 12, and its remnants dissipated near the Azores on September 14, having never directly affected land, in spite of its intensity.
- Hurricane Claudette was the strongest hurricane of the relatively inactive 1991 Atlantic hurricane season. Claudette remained at sea for its entire duration. However, Claudette passed within 125 miles (201 km) of Bermuda on September 8, the remnants also moved in the vicinity of the Azores.

| - Hurricane Claudette was the strongest hurricane of the relatively inactive 1991 Atlantic hurricane season. Claudette remained at sea for its entire duration. However, Claudette passed within 125 miles (201 km) of Bermuda on September 8, the remnants also moved in the vicinity of the Azores. Claudette developed on September 4 from a non-tropical system in the Central Atlantic Ocean. After strengthening to a tropical depression, it quickly strengthened into Tropical Storm Claudette on September 5 while remaining nearly stationary. Claudette underwent rapid intensification after it attained hurricane status on September 6, and became a major hurricane while located about 275 miles southeast of Bermuda. After attaining Category 3 status, Claudette reached a peak intensity of 135 mph (215 km/h) winds and 943 mbar in pressure, or Category 4 status on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. Dramatic weakening occurred as Claudette began to move generally north over cooler sea-surface waters, just after peak intensity. Claudette weakened to a category 2 hurricane just 12 hours after peak intensity, and started to affect Bermuda. Thereafter, gradual weakening occurred on September 8, and hurricane Claudette safely passed just east of Bermuda on September 8 as a Category 1 hurricane. Claudette turned sharply east and steadily weakened while remaining far out at sea. Interaction with nearby Tropical Storm Erika started to occur late on September 9, and Claudette weakened to a minimal hurricane with 75mph winds and 989mbar in pressure. Influence from Tropical Storm Erika may have also resulted in Claudette turning to the east-southeast on September 9. Hurricane Claudette weakened to a tropical storm early on September 10, while moving to the east. Claudette was now accelerating quickly eastward across the Atlantic Ocean, far away from any land areas. It later weakened to a tropical depression and ultimately became an Extratropical cyclone on September 14. The remnants entered the Azores, bringing light rain to the islands before dissipating soon after.
