The 2022 Atlantic hurricane season was a slightly below average season and the first time since 2015. 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 The 2020 Atlantic hurricane season is an ongoing event in the annual tropical cyclone season in the north Atlantic Ocean. In early September, Hurricane Tobias reached it record peak intensity, with winds of 215 mph and a central pressure of 874 mbar. The cyclone, combined with a nearby cyclone that later merged with ex-Earl, dropped copious amounts of snow all over the Cape Breton Island and other areas of Nova Scotia. On April 22, the NHC began monitoring an area of low pressure that developed roughly 150 mi (240 km) east of the Leeward Islands. The storm was one of the deadliest Atlantic hurricanes on record. NHC's forecasters also noted that the wave's development would initially be inhibited due to the rapidly intensifying Hurricane Ian to its north, along with its southerly latitude. Near the landfall point, Tobias leveled practically every structure, stripped trees of their bark, and scoured the ground severely. 2 people died on St. Lucia during the storm, and one died on Barbados after being blown into a river and drowning. Despite shear being only marginally higher and waters with above-average temperatures, Fiona failed to strengthen any further, and another eyewall replacement cycle took place on that day, causing the storm's pressure to rise and its winds to decrease to 115 mph. Unscathed by the landfall, Virginie soon underwent explosive deepening, becoming a Category 4 hurricane late on September 6.

A mid-day recon flight found winds of 120 mph, and Martin was subsequently upgraded to a Category 3 major hurricane again. Alex reached peak intensity on April 24, with winds of 50 mph (80 km/h) and a central pressure of 1,003 mb (29.6 inHg).

Fiona caused 400 deaths there earlier in the season. The storm's movement speed slowed down considerably, as Fiona made a close approach to Hispaniola on July 21.

Early on November 28, Lambda reached Category 3 intensity on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale, with winds estimated at 115 mph (185 km/h) and a central pressure of 971 mbar (28.7 inHg). On that day, Fiona made landfall on the border of the Pedernales and Barahon provinces of Dominican Republic, with winds of 120 mph and a central pressure of 948 mb.

Mid-day on September 14, a recon flight found sustained winds of 165 mph (266 km/h); based on this, Tobias was upgraded to a Category 5 hurricane again, while located over the Gulf of Mexico. Hurricane Virginie struck Florida a few days prior to Tobias as a Category 4 hurricane, while Walter stalled over New York City for two days, causing devastating flooding and damage. It strengthened to a peak of 60 mph before affecting Louisiana and surrounding areas. Both of the final landfalls were with 1-minute sustained winds of 200 mph (320 km/h). Mid-day on November 29, satellite observations and Hurricane Hunter missions confirmed that Lambda had developed concentric eyewalls, signaling the beginning of an eyewall replacement cycle. The season began when Tropical Storm Alex formed in the Gulf of Mexico on June 24. After peaking, the depression began slowly weakening as it curved and accelerated southwards. Mid-day on July 29, Gaston peaked as a Category 3 hurricane, with winds of 115 mph (185 km/h) and an unusually low pressure of 953 mb (28.1 inHg). After weakening to a tropical depression, Alex continued tracking generally northwards until being absorbed into an extratropical cyclone on April 28. Early on August 7, the low-pressure area developed into a small tropical depression according to the NHC. In the Dominican Republic, torrential rainfall brought by the storm caused extreme mudslides and flooding that killed hundreds of people. The NHC marked the wave for possible development, making it a potential tropical cyclone. Error creating thumbnail: Invalid thumbnail parameters. In the same period of time, Tobias' winds increased from 70 mph to 215 mph, a wind speed increase of 145 mph, also a worldwide record. It reached its southernmost point late on November 24, before slowly moving northwestwards as it was steered by a ridge to its north.

Accordingly, the NHC assessed that Shary reached hurricane intensity between 7:00 and 8:00 UTC, and hurricane warnings were issued for several islands of the Windward Islands. Early on July 29, Gaston commenced rapid intensification, as its winds strengthened to 105 mph (169 km/h) and it began forming a large eye in the center. In total, the season featured 20 major hurricane landfalls, a record in the Atlantic. A few hours later, Fiona made landfall on the Yucatán Peninsula, with winds of 115 mph and a central pressure of 962 mb. After moving through the eye and entering the eyewall on the other side 45 minutes after first entering the eye, they measured 120 mph winds. 2022 was a active season that began on June 1 and ended on Nobember 30, these dates determine cyclone activity, howeevr storms can form at anytime. This table includes the storm's names, duration, peak intensity, Areas affected (bold indicates made landfall in that region at least once), damages, and death totals. The season's end in October was the first since 2012. Early on July 22, Fiona's central pressure began rising in response to prolonged periods of land interaction with the mountainous terrain of Hispaniola, although its winds kept rising at a steady pace.

Consequently, Lambda entered a period of rapid intensification, as the eye became more well defined. The extratropical remnant of Earl increased in size significantly, and moved over the Cape Breton Island of Nova Scotia on July 28.

Slight weakening took place before Shary made landfall on Dominica at 10:00 UTC on September 2, with the same windspeed but a slightly higher pressure of 984 mb (29.1 inHg). Danielle began weakening during the day, due to increased land interaction. The landfall, along with a small amount of dry air entering the system, caused Shary to briefly weaken. After reaching its initial peak intensity, Martin's appearance remained impressive. Fiona degenerated into a remnant low late on that day, as its remnants emerged into the Bay of Campeche. Fiona moved westwards at a slow pace, along with strengthening slowly. On early July 19, the NHC classified it as a tropical depression, the sixth one of the season. The storm received the name Tobias on September 5, becoming the 19th named storm of the season. All wind intensities are in mph, with the number in parentheses being the intensity in km/h.
