The 2014 Atlantic usercane season was both the costliest and deadliest Atlantic usercane season ever observed. It was also the most active season at the time, until it was surpassed by the following year. The first in a group of three consecutive hyperactive and intense seasons, it saw seventeen named storms, and all but one of the season's ten usercanes reached major usercane intensity. Despite this, all of the storms that formed during the mid-season were weak.
The season ran year-round in 2014, with most activity occurring between June and December. Usercanes Layten, NDB, Azure, Bumblebee, Cardozo, Douglas, Sergio, Jordan, and Ben all reached major usercane intensity. The former was the strongest storm of the season with a peak intensity of 175 mph (280 km/h) and 908 mbar (hPa); however, Cardozo, Bumblebee, and Douglas also acquired Category 5 intensity. Douglas, however, was known for being one of the deadliest and costliest usercanes in recorded history. It also had an unusually high pressure and disorganized structure for a category 5 usercane in its first phase as a tropical usercyclone.
The first notable storm of the season was Usercane Azure, which would peak as a 150 mph category 4 storm. Tropical Userstorm Cardozo then formed on February 9 from a tropical wave in the Eastern Atlantic. Initially weak, Cardozo slowly gained intensity over time. In March, Tropical Userstorm Douglas developed on March 16 from a disorganized tropical wave southeast of Cape Verde. Douglas and Cardozo remained fairly close together, and initially were both weak.

Usercane Azure (AzureAzulCrash/Azure the Serval)[]
A transient tropical depression, dubbed TD Butter by the NHC, formed over the eastern Atlantic as it slowly trekked westward across the early season MDR, not gaining much strength over the next year. It was absorbed by a powerful tropical gyre and remained in the southwestern Caribbean for the next 2 years, until it briefly returned and strengthened slightly to a TS in August 2017. It remained briefly as a small TS, before being quickly reabsorbed back into the gyre. In July 2018, it returned, lasting as a weak tropical depression until March 2019, when it returned to TS status. Again, the small and feeble storm was reabsorbed into the gyre, until October of that year, when it briefly became a subtropical depression again where it remains to this day, a lowly gyre floating around Central America.
This is a table of all the storms that have formed in the 2014 Atlantic usercane season. It includes their duration, names, landfall(s), denoted in parentheses, damages, and death totals. Deaths in parentheses are additional and indirect (an example of an indirect death would be a traffic accident), but were still related to that storm. Damage and deaths include totals while the storm was extratropical, a wave, or a low, and all the damage figures are in 2014 USD.
