When Subtropical Storm Vince formed on 8 October it marked the first time in recorded history that a 21st tropical or subtropical storm had ever developed within a single Atlantic hurricane season. The previous record of 20 storms was set by the 1933 season. Hurricane Vince was also the first named "V" storm in the Atlantic since naming began in 1950. It would be 15 years until another season would have a V-named stormTropical Storm Vicky in 2020. That same season, Tropical Storm Wilfred bested Vince as the earliest 21st named storm in a season, forming 20 days earlier.
