Some recent Atlantic hurricane seasons have jumped the June 1 starting gun. (MORE: When Hurricane Season Starts Early) Most recently, in May 2012, a pair of tropical storms, Alberto and Beryl, both formed off the coast of the Carolinas, Georgia and north Florida.
The 2015 Atlantic hurricane season was a somewhat below average season that produced twelve tropical cyclones, eleven named storms, four hurricanes, and two major hurricanes.[nb 1] The Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) for the season was 68% of the long-term median value.[2] It officially began on June 1, 2015, and ended on November 30, 2015.
