The 2016 Atlantic hurricane season was an above-average season that produced 16 named storms, 7 hurricanes and 4 major hurricanes. Due to a moderate La Nina, activity was the highest since 2012. Despite a near-average Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), very warm waters in the central Atlantic fueled several intense systems. The season started very early with Subtropical Storm Alex forming on January 12. Activity ran year-round with the season ending with Hurricane Paula in December.

abstract
| - The 2016 Atlantic hurricane season was an above-average season that produced 16 named storms, 7 hurricanes and 4 major hurricanes. Due to a moderate La Nina, activity was the highest since 2012. Despite a near-average Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), very warm waters in the central Atlantic fueled several intense systems. The season started very early with Subtropical Storm Alex forming on January 12. Activity ran year-round with the season ending with Hurricane Paula in December. Numerous storms in the season included Hurricane Danielle, a category 1 storm that made landfall in Texas in mid-August, Hurricane Hermine which made landfall in North Carolina as a category 2 storm in late September, and Hurricane Nestor which made two landfalls (one in the Yucatan Peninsula and one in Florida). Nestor became the first hurricane to strike Florida as well as the first U.S. landfalling major hurricane since Hurricane Wilma of 2005, in addition to becoming the first category 5 Atlantic storm since Felix in 2007.
