Hurricane Hortense was a minimal hurricane which lasted almost two weeks in latter September and early October 1984. The thirteenth tropical cyclone, eight named storm, and the second hurricane of the 1984 Atlantic hurricane season, Hortense developed from a frontal zone on September 23, and initially had subtropical characteristics. Hortense was one of seven tropical cyclones having subtropical characteristics for some of its duration during the 1984 Atlantic hurricane season. The subtropical depression gradually strengthened while acquiring tropical characteristics, intensifying into a subtropical storm later that day, and becoming a fully tropical storm about twenty-four hours later. Intensification persisted, and Hortense briefly strengthened into a hurricane on September 25, weakening

| - Hurricane Hortense was a minimal hurricane which lasted almost two weeks in latter September and early October 1984. The thirteenth tropical cyclone, eight named storm, and the second hurricane of the 1984 Atlantic hurricane season, Hortense developed from a frontal zone on September 23, and initially had subtropical characteristics. Hortense was one of seven tropical cyclones having subtropical characteristics for some of its duration during the 1984 Atlantic hurricane season. The subtropical depression gradually strengthened while acquiring tropical characteristics, intensifying into a subtropical storm later that day, and becoming a fully tropical storm about twenty-four hours later. Intensification persisted, and Hortense briefly strengthened into a hurricane on September 25, weakening back on September 26. Intensity level off steadily, while Tropical Storm Hortense executed a small cyclonic loop. Hortense later nearly made landfall on Bermuda as a minimal tropical storm, before accelerating rapidly eastward into the open Atlantic. Tropical Storm Hortense transitioned into an extratropical cyclone northwest of the Azores on October 2. Hurricane Hortense did not affect land while a tropical cyclone, despite coming very close to Bermuda.
