abstract
| - The 2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season was an above-average season with activity before and after the official boundaries. The season began with Hurricane Arthur, the first major hurricane during the month of April. Many of the storms this season were record-breakers or had unusual characteristics. Several major hurricanes made landfall in the United States and its territories, either as Category 3+ or below peak intensity. This is the largest amount since 2005. The strongest of those, Hurricane Isaias, became the strongest Atlantic hurricane since Wilma in 2005, and the deadliest tropical cyclone since Hurricane Matthew of 2016. This season also featured Hurricane Laura, the first cyclone to cross from the Atlantic to the Pacific and make landfall in northern Baja California. Most forecasters predicted a slightly above average season. However, when there were already 13 named storms by August 31st, the forecasts were changed to a hyperactive year like 2005. Tropical activity suddenly stopped for a 3.5-week period, leading to a season between both predictions. Overall the season resulted in $67 billion in damage and 1,305 deaths, making it the costliest since 2012 and the deadliest since 2016.
