The 2012 Atlantic hurricane season was an annual event in usercane formation. The season had no official bounds, it ran throughout 2012. The season began with the formation of Tropical Storm Ben on February 12, and ended with the post-tropical transition of Hurricane Steve in September 2016. It was a slightly below average season by modern standards, although it was the most active season at the time in terms of named storms. Two storms - Steve and Rara - reached category 4 intensity. Numerous other storms developed during the season.

A total of 9 depressions formed, 8 of which were named storms, 2 usercanes and 2 major usercanes.

Systems[]

Tropical Userstorm Ben (Hurricaneben121)[]

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
TSFlorence06 2012 Atlantic Usercane season storm 1
DurationFebruary 12 – March 1
Peak intensity50 mph (85 km/h) (1-min) 1003 mbar (hPa)

On February 12, a tropical wave exited the coast of Africa. Moving fairly quickly westward, it developed into Tropical Storm Ben. Ben acquired a peak intensity of 50 mph on February 20. On February 26, the system began to weaken. On March 1, Ben degenerated into a remnant through of low pressure.

Usercane Rara (Raraahahahromaromamagagaoohlala)[]

Category 4 hurricane (SSHWS)
Gonzalo Peak Intensity 2012 Atlantic Usercane season storm 2
DurationMarch 10 – January 10, 2018
Peak intensity145 mph (230 km/h) (1-min) 939 mbar (hPa)

On March 10, a tropical wave developed about 1200 miles east of the Lesser Antilles. It developed into a tropical storm and was named "Rara." Struggling to intensify due to a stable environment, Rara remained a tropical storm for over two years, slowly intensifying to near hurricane intensity. On July 4, 2014, Rara intensified into a category 2 hurricane north of the Lesser Antilles. On October 18, Rara became a category 4 hurricane southwest of Bermuda. Rara would then peak as a 145 mph category 4 storm shortly thereafter. On May 12, 2015, Rara turned into an extratropical cyclone. The extratropical remnants of Rara would remain fairly strong, retaining winds of 130-135 mph as late as June 8. However, cold waters rapidly weakened the extratropical cyclone. Rara's extratropical remnants would actually later re-attain category 4 intensity in late September 2015, although the system failed to turn fully tropical. The remnants then rapidly weakened on September 29, like many storms, due to wind shear from intensifying Hurricane Nkechinyer. However, the extratropical remnants of Rara persisted. On May 15, 2016, the extratropical remnants of Rara regenerated into a subtropical storm. Rara's regeneration did not last long, and the subtropical storm became post-tropical the next day. However, Rara was able to regenerate once again in October 2017,before weakening and making landfall over Nova Scotia in January 2018.

Tropical Userstorm CobraStrike (CobraStrike)[]

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
Katia Sept 3 2011 1710Z 2012 Atlantic Usercane season storm 3
DurationJune 23 – June 21, 2018
Peak intensity60 mph (95 km/h) (1-min) 995 mbar (hPa)

On June 23, a tropical wave resulted in the formation of a tropical storm southwest of Cape Verde, receiving the name "CobraStrike." CobraStrike acquired a peak intensity of 60 mph shortly afterward and would dissipate and regenerate several times. CobraStrike degenerated into a remnant low on June 21, 2018, and remains an active remnant area of low pressure.

Tropical Userstorm Jackson (Hurricanehunterjackson)[]

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
Tony Oct 23 2012 1400Z 2012 Atlantic Usercane season storm 4
DurationJuly 5 – Present
Peak intensity65 mph (100 km/h) (1-min) 990 mbar (hPa)

On July 5, yet another tropical wave exited the coast of Africa. It later developed into a tropical storm, receiving the name "Jackson." Jackson acquired a peak intensity of 60 mph, and took a similar track to CobraStrike, dissipating and regenerating several times. Jackson degenerated into a trough of low pressure on November 6, 2015. Jackson regenerated on October 13, 2018, and once again dissipated on December 27, 2018. Like CobraStrike, Jackson remained a weak trough over the Atlantic until July 29, 2019 when it regenerated into a tropical userpression again.

Tropical Userpression Five (Paideguinha)[]

Tropical depression (SSHWS)
Two 2014 2012 Atlantic Usercane season storm 5
DurationAugust 11 – August 11
Peak intensity30 mph (45 km/h) (1-min) 1012 mbar (hPa)

A weak tropical depression formed southwest of Cape Verde from a tropical wave on August 11, and dissipated that same day. Tropical Depression Five is one of the weakest usercanes on record that reached tropical depression intensity.

Tropical Userstorm Mark (Mkv829)[]

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
Unnamed ts (2016 mc) 2012 Atlantic Usercane season storm 6
DurationSeptember 19 – November 22
Peak intensity50 mph (85 km/h) (1-min) 998 mbar (hPa)

Tropical Storm Mark was a fairly small storm that went unnoticed until early 2018.

Usercane Steve (Steve820)[]

Category 4 hurricane (SSHWS)
Hurricane Igor (2010) - Almost Category 5 2012 Atlantic Usercane season storm 7
DurationOctober 13 – May 22, 2019
Peak intensity155 mph (250 km/h) (1-min) 912 mbar (hPa)

On October 13, a vigorous tropical wave exited the coast of Africa. It rapidly developed into Tropical Depression Six. On October 22, Six developed into a Tropical Storm, receiving the name "Steve." A very well-organized tropical cyclone with a tight circulation, Steve remained a tropical storm for nearly two years. On May 13, 2014, Tropical Storm Steve intensified into a category 2 hurricane directly from tropical storm status, becoming one of the few storms at the time to attain hurricane intensity. On June 3, Steve intensified further into a category 4 major hurricane. In September 2014, it is estimated Steve peaked as a 155 mph strong category 4 hurricane. On May 13, 2015, Steve turned extratropical, and eventually weakened further. However, the extratropical remnants of Steve persisted, despite nearly dissipating completely on December 12, 2015. By March 21, weather centers had begun monitoring the system for possible regeneration, as its core had warmed up. On April 8, the cyclone began to separate from its frontal boundaries. Frontal boundaries dissipated from the system early on May 1, and at 18:00 UTC on May 1, 2016, Steve regenerated into a subtropical storm. Intensification ensued, and on May 6, a small eye formed in the center formed, supporting an upgrade to 65 mph. Afterwards, Steve struggled to intensify until early June due to some unfavorable conditions continuing in Steve's region. Steve rapidly intensified to a Category 4 during early-mid June 2016. Because of dry air entrainment, Steve only underwent slow intensification over the next few months and failed to strengthen past 145 mph. By mid-September 2016, Steve once again weakened to a tropical storm, and on September 27, 2016, Steve became post-tropical once more, ending the 2012 Atlantic usercane season. Steve continued its run of transitioning between tropical and post-tropical, regaining tropical userstorm status for a time in 2018 before once again turning post-tropical on May 22, 2019.

Tropical Userstorm Thunderpunchies (Thunderpunchies)[]

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
Dorian 2013 2012 Atlantic Usercane season storm 8
DurationNovember 11 – March 29, 2013
Peak intensity60 mph (95 km/h) (1-min) 997 mbar (hPa)

Tropical Userstorm Relaxthis (Relaxthis)[]

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
Henri 2015-09-10 1425Z 2012 Atlantic Usercane season storm 9
DurationNovember 28 – February 23, 2013
Peak intensity40 mph (65 km/h) (1-min) 1005 mbar (hPa)

On November 28, a weak and small tropical wave exited the African coast, and later developed into a Tropical Storm, receiving the name "Relaxthis." Relaxthis would fail to intensify beyond minimal tropical storm intensity, and dissipated on February 23, 2013.
