NOTICE: If you are new to the usercane concept, check out this page. All updated usercane information is provided here, including an overview of the NUC functions.
The 2019 Atlantic usercane season featured the fewest number of major usercanes of any season at the time, with only two reaching major usercane status, Sandy and Lucas--the next year's usercane season would have no major usercanes. It was a below-average season, and although it produced 23 tropical userstorms, above the long-term average, only 4 of them became usercanes. The season officially began on January 1, 2019, and ended on December 31, 2019. These dates historically describe the period each year when most tropical usercyclones form in the Atlantic basin and are adopted by convention. The season's first storm, Tropical Userstorm Tuba, developed on January 14.

Ahead of and during the season, several national meteorological services and scientific agencies forecast how many named userstorms, usercanes, and major usercanes (Category 3 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson scale) will form during a season. These agencies include the National Usercane Center (NUC), Bob Nekaro Weather Center (BNWC), HT Meteorological Center (HTMC), Porygonal Weather Service (PWC), Cooper Meteorological Agency (CMA), and many others.
The first forecast for the year was issued by the CMA on January 1, 2019. The forecast called for an above-average season in terms of named userstorms, but a below-average season in terms of usercanes and major usercanes. Another forecast issued by the HWC was released that same day. They anticipated an above average named userstorm count with 30-34 named userstorms, but 3-6 usercanes and only 1-2 major usercanes expected. Later that day the DHC and the AHHC released their forecasts for the season, with the DHC predicting a hyperactive season with 64 named userstorms, 6 usercanes, and 4 major usercanes. The AHHC predicted an active season with 40 named userstorms, 5 usercanes, and 3 major usercanes. Then, the WHC predicted an above average season with 35-45 named userstorms, 4-6 usercanes and 1-2 major usercanes. Also on the same day, the MCHWS predicted an above average named userstorm count with 26-32 named userstorms, however slightly more usercanes than others with 5-8 usercanes and 1-3 major usercanes.
On January 2nd, 2019, the FMC issued their forecast with an above average season with 27-36 named userstorms, 3-7 usercanes and 1-4 major usercanes. The SDTWFC released its forecast with 29-33 named userstorms, an above average number of usercanes with 5-6 but only 1-2 major usercanes. Soon after, The OSMC released their forecast predicting 35-42 named userstorms, 4-6 usercanes, and 1-3 major usercanes. The RMA then released their forecast, predicting a total of 24-28 named userstorms, 4-6 usercanes, and 1-2 major usercanes. On January 3rd, the DQW4W9WGXC Weather Station (XCQ) released its forecast calling for 15-25 named userstorms, 2-5 usercanes, and 1 major usercane. Following this was the forecast from the KOAM Weather Center (KWC) issuing a forecast for 29-37 named userstorms, 3-6 usercanes, and 1-2 major usercanes. That same day, the LCA issued their forecast of 30-40 named userstorms, 1-5 usercanes but only 0-1 major usercanes.
On January 5th, 2019, the TGMC issued a forecast for an above average season with 35-40 named userstorms, 4-6 usercanes and 0-2 major usercanes. Almost a week later on January 11, 2019, the MWHA issued their forecast for the usercane season, predicting 29 - 34 named userstorms, 2-6 usercanes, and 1-3 major usercanes. On January 30, 2019, the SHMC issued their forecast predictions, with 38-43 named userstorms, 5-8 usercanes, and 1-3 major usercanes. On February 4, 2019, the CGFC issued their official forecast, calling for 25-30 userstorms, 3-6 usercanes, and 1-2 major usercanes. On May 9, 2019, the HHC issued their forecast predictions, with 36-40 named userstorms, 8-14 usercanes, and 3-5 major usercanes.
Season summary[]
The Atlantic usercane season officially began on January 1, 2019. As with the previous season, activity began early with the formation of Tropical Userstorm Tuba. A series of three storms soon followed, for a total of four storms forming in the month of January. That number, however, is significantly lower than the one recorded in the previous season. After January, activity slowed significantly, with no tropical cyclones forming in February and March. Despite the inactivity, however, three tropical userstorms – Doublelucky, Tracking, and Danilo – formed in the month of April. The month of May saw the formation of three tropical userpressions.
Systems[]
Subtropical Usercane Tuba (LckyTUBA)[]
- Main article: Tropical Userstorm Tuba
Category 1 usercane (NUC) | |
Duration | January 14 – Currently active |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 75 mph (120 km/h) (1-min) 987 mbar (hPa) |
A tropical wave moved off Africa on January 13. The following day, when it was located near Cabo Verde, it intensified into Tropical Userpression One, being the first named storm of the season. Three days later, on January 17, it intensified into a tropical userstorm and received the name Tuba. Nearly a month later, on February 14, Tuba intensified into a severe tropical userstorm, the first of the season, soon entering an area of moderate wind shear preventing the storm from intensifying further.
On May 10, the LTWC released a new forecast for Userstorm Tuba. The forecast predicted Tuba to exit the area of wind shear by the end of May, although Tuba was not forecast to strengthen to usercane status within the 30 days following the forecast. The forecast did note that strengthening may be possible starting in the late summer/fall due to warmer waters. Tuba remained 65 mph for several months afterwards, but on September 14, the storm was found to have 70 mph winds. Tuba continued to maintain its wind speed throughout the following months while slowly deepening. By the beginning of December, Tuba's pressure had decreased to 987 mbar. Despite this, Tuba began to experience wind shear, and on February 3, 2020, Tuba weakened below severe tropical userstorm status.
Usercane Lucas (HurricaneLucas4064)[]
- Main article: Usercane Lucas
Category 5 usercane (NUC) | |
Duration | January 19 – Currently active |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 160 mph (260 km/h) (1-min) 932 mbar (hPa) |
On January 12, a trough developed in the far eastern Atlantic Ocean, encountering some very dry air and being unable to strengthen further. After leaving that body of unfavorable conditions, it began to intensify, and develop a closed circulation. On January 19, it was classified as Tropical Userpression Two. Two would stall in intensity and would only strengthen five days later. On January 26, it intensified into a tropical userstorm and was named Lucas. It slowly intensified over the following three months, and on April 12, it intensified into a severe tropical userstorm. Over the next few months, Lucas continued to intensify and eventually became the first usercane of the season on July 30. Despite strengthening throughout the rest of 2019, Lucas weakened to a severe tropical userstorm on January 15. However, whilst passing through the Leeward Islands on March 23rd, Lucas regained usercane intensity. After moving north of the Greater Antilles, Lucas became the third Category 2 usercane of the season on September 14, 2020. Lucas later became the second major usercane of the season on August 7, 2021.
Tropical Userstorm Specimen (Aguywhocantgetpastspecimen1)[]
Tropical userstorm (NUC) | |
Duration | January 22 – March 14 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 40 mph (65 km/h) (1-min) 1005 mbar (hPa) |
A non-tropical low developed along a frontal boundary over the North Atlantic in early January. The low drifted southward and gradually began to acquire tropical characteristics. By January 22, the low had developed sufficiently organized convection near a warm thermal core, and became a tropical depression. The depression quickly strengthened into Tropical Storm Specimen the following day. No further intensification occurred, and by March 9 the cyclone had weakened to a tropical depression. On March 15, Specimen became a post-tropical cyclone after having lacked organized convection for five days. The post-tropical remnant was absorbed into a frontal boundary a few days later.
Usercane Sandy (Sandy156)[]
- Main article: Usercane Sandy
Category 3 usercane (NUC) | |
Duration | January 24 – Currently Active |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 120 mph (195 km/h) (1-min) 950 mbar (hPa) |
On January 16, a tropical wave originated just off the coast of Africa. Abruptly, being in warm waters and being in very favorable conditions, it rapidly organized starting on January 20 and on January 24, it strengthened into a tropical userpression, the fourth one of the season. A couple of days later, it intensified into a tropical userstorm and was named Sandy. During the months of February and March, it entered an area of low to moderate wind shear, causing the system to slowly intensify. The userstorm then entered an area of low to no wind shear and warmer waters in late May and early June, which contributed to the strengthening of the storm. It finally intensified into a severe tropical userstorm on June 11, the third one of the season. It strengthened gradually over time, further becoming a Category 1 usercane on September 14, the second one of the season. On December 31, it became the strongest user cyclone of the 2019 usercane season. Sandy intensified into a Category 2 usercane on January 26, 2020. It continued to strengthen and it later became a major usercane on October 3, 2020, the first one of the season.
Tropical Userstorm Doublelucky (Nclearsphinx)[]
Tropical userstorm (NUC) | |
Duration | April 12 – December 22 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 50 mph (85 km/h) (1-min) 1003 mbar (hPa) |
A tropical wave moved off the coast of Africa in July 2018, but failed to develop into a tropical usercyclone until April 12 of the following year, becoming Tropical Userpression Five. The userpression strengthened into Tropical Userstorm Doublelucky on April 24. Doublelucky strengthened gradually, although it remained poorly organized as its intensity leveled off at around 50 mph that summer as it moved slowly westward through the Caribbean. On December 1, Sphinx was downgraded into a tropical userpression with winds of 35 mph, and was predicted to degenerate into a tropical userwave soon after.
Tropical Userstorm Tracking (PhTracking)[]
- Main article: Tropical Userstorm Tracking
Tropical userstorm (NUC) | |
Duration | April 12 – January 24, 2021 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 50 mph (85 km/h) (1-min) 1000 mbar (hPa) |
A tropical userwave moved off the coast of Africa on March 31. The wave began to organize, forming into Tropical Userpression Six on April 12. Six continued to organize quickly through the following week, attaining userstorm strength on April 19 and receiving the name Tracking. Over the following months, Tracking continued to gradually organize, with its intensity reaching a plateau of 50 mph starting in the summer of 2019. However, Tracking's pressure continued to decrease gradually through the fall and into the early winter of 2019, dropping to 1000 millibars on December 1. After originally degenerating into a remnant low on February 15, Tracking redeveloped as a tropical userpression on April 4, 2020.
Tropical Userstorm Danilo (Danilo Evangelista)[]
- Main article: Tropical Userstorm Danilo
Tropical userstorm (NUC) | |
Duration | April 19 – August 29, 2021 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 45 mph (75 km/h) (1-min) 1003 mbar (hPa) |
A tropical userwave moved off the coast of Africa on March 25. The wave began to quickly organize in early April, becoming Tropical Userpression Seven on April 19. Seven continued to strengthen over the next several weeks, reaching tropical userstorm status and receiving the name Danilo upon doing so on May 10. Throughout the next month and a half, Danilo continued to strengthen gradually, reaching a peak intensity of 45 mph with a pressure of 1003 millibars before moving into an area of high shear, resulting in its dissipation on July 6. However on February 18th of 2020, Danilo’s convection reappeared on the left side of its circulation, redeveloping into a tropical userstorm, albeit a disorganized one. Danilo quickly weakened to a remnant low again, on July 2, 2021.
Usercane Basti (BrazilianBasti; formely Ssspp1)[]
- Main article: Usercane Basti
Category 1 usercane (NUC) | |
Duration | May 10 – Currently active |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 75 mph (120 km/h) (1-min) 985 mbar (hPa) |
On April 25, a tropical userwave moved off the coast of Africa. The wave organized into Tropical Userpression Eight on May 10, continuing to gradually strengthen. Eight was upgraded into Tropical Userstorm Sangalang on June 27, but struggled to intensify over an unfavorable environment after this point. Sangalang reached an initial peak of 40 mph with a pressure of 1005 mbar, before weakening into a Tropical Userpression in early August. Sangalang degenerated into a remnant circulation on September 14. However, during January 2020, the system regenerated into a userstorm. On February 8, it got renamed to Basti, it continued its intensification trend, then, on the 17th of March, it strengthened to a severe tropical userstorm. On October-November 2020, it reached its initial peak intensity with winds of 70 mph (110 km/h) and a pressure of 994 mbars but on the 30th of November 2020, it fell to a tropical userstorm due to a collapse of deep convection. However, on March 11, 2022, a sudden burst of organization allowed Basti to become a severe tropical userstorm once again. Months later, it reached its peak intensity with sustained 1-minute winds of 70 mph (110 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 989 mbars, which it still maintains, for now. As of January 4, 2023, it still maintained its peak intensity a severe tropical userstorm with winds of 70 mph (110 km/h) and a pressure of 989 mbars. On April 29, 2023, Basti strengthened into a usercane, making it the 7th of the season.
Tropical Userpression Nine (MK8 Andrew)[]
Tropical userpression (NUC) | |
Duration | May 11 – May 31 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 30 mph (45 km/h) (1-min) 1008 mbar (hPa) |
A tropical userwave moved off the coast of Africa on December 17, 2018. The wave struggled to organize for several months, but eventually developed into Tropical Userpression Nine on May 11. However, Nine struggled to maintain convection over its center, and degenerated into a remnant circulation on May 31.
Tropical Userstorm Cylinder (Cylinder920)[]
Tropical userstorm (NUC) | |
Duration | May 19 – August 8, 2020 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 40 mph (65 km/h) (1-min) 1005 mbar (hPa) |
A tropical userwave moved off the coast of Africa on March 16. The userwave began to organize, and formed into Tropical Userpression Ten on May 19. Ten continued to develop, strengthening into a tropical userstorm and receiving the name Cylinder on June 26. Cylinder struggled to intensify further thereafter as convection waned in late July. Cylinder degenerated into a remnant circulation after shear displaced the remaining convection on August 6. However, after a burst of convection during January 2020, the system regenerated into a userpression.
Tropical Userstorm John (General Wreck)[]
Tropical userstorm (NUC) | |
Duration | June 10 – July 31, 2021 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 40 mph (65 km/h) (1-min) 1006 mbar (hPa) |
On May 31, a tropical userwave moved off the coast of Africa and quickly tracked across the tropical Atlantic. The wave organized over the next several weeks, and was designated as Tropical Userpression Eleven on June 10. Rapid organization continued, and Eleven strengthened into Tropical Userstorm General just two days later. However, General struggled to produce central convection after achieving userstorm strength, peaking as a 40 mph userstorm with a pressure of 1006 mbar before losing its convection and degenerating into a remnant circulation on July 19. However, after better conditions, the system regenerated into a userstorm in January 2020. Over the eastern Caribbean, General began to lose organization and degenerated into a remnant low once again on January 30, 2020. In late July of 2020, its remnants were renamed to John. It headed relatively fast across the Atlantic, until it stalled southwest of the Azores. John officially redeveloped for a second time in early July 2021. However the regen was short-lived, and it degenerated again on July 31 after struggling to organize in strong wind shear.
Tropical Userstorm MJO (MJO59)[]
Tropical userstorm (NUC) | |
Duration | June 11 – September 24 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 40 mph (65 km/h) (1-min) 1005 mbar (hPa) |
On February 13, a tropical userwave was noted over the central Atlantic. The wave struggled to organize for several months, but suddenly began to rapidly organize, becoming Tropical Userpression Twelve on June 11. However, the rapid organization paused on June 17, only to resume in mid-August. Twelve was upgraded into Tropical Userstorm MJO on August 12, but struggled to intensify further. MJO peaked at 40 mph with a pressure of 1005 mbar before losing its central convection and degenerating into a remnant circulation on September 24.
Tropical Userstorm Gene (DjSolar27)[]
Tropical userstorm (NUC) | |
Duration | June 11, 2019 – February 21, 2021 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 50 mph (85 km/h) (1-min) 1002 mbar (hPa) |
A tropical userwave was first noted over the central Atlantic Ocean on December 17, 2018. The wave developed a circulation, but struggled to produce any sustained central convection for several months, during which sporadic bursts of convection occurred outside of the storm's center. The userwave finally produced sustained central convection starting in early June, leading to its designation as Tropical Userpression Thirteen on June 11 over the Caribbean Sea. However, the convection waned just as quickly as it had flared up, leading to Thirteen's degeneration into a remnant circulation on July 12. After about 1 1/2 years of staying in the NW Caribbean, it regenerated into Tropical Userstorm Gene on January 17, 2021. It strengthened to a new peak at 50 mph/1002 mbar, before weakening and degenerating again off the Yucatan Peninsula on February 21.
Tropical Userstorm Ahmad-Vaqwuian (BannedTruely)[]
Tropical userstorm (NUC) | |
Duration | July 21 – July 4, 2020 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 50 mph (85 km/h) (1-min) 1002 mbar (hPa) |
- Main article: Tropical Userstorm Ahmad
A tropical userwave was spotted over the Gulf of Mexico on April 6, although the wave struggled to develop further initially. Despite this, the wave developed a closed circulation, and was designated as Tropical Userpression Fourteen on July 21. Four quickly strengthened and was upgraded into Tropical Userstorm Ahmad on August 2. Ahmad continued to deepen, reaching its peak of 50 mph in September before convection began to wane. Eventually, Ahmad weakened into a tropical userpression on December 1. It then degenerated into a remnant low 12 days later.
A few months later, on May 23, Ahmad regenerated as a tropical userpression in the Gulf of Campeche. On June 7, 2020, Ahmad's name changed to Ahmad-Vaqwuian.
More than a year later, at approximately 4:24 PM EST, Ahmad-Vaqwuian regenerated as a low.
Usercane Comix (Funnycomixking 2019)[]
Category 2 usercane (NUC) | |
Duration | July 22 – June 25, 2021 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 100 mph (155 km/h) (1-min) 980 mbar (hPa) |
A low-pressure system formed a few hundred miles northeast in June. Eventually, it developed, and on June 22nd, the system was designated Tropical Userpression Fifteen. The userpression quickly developed a closed center, and an ASCAT scan had shown the cyclone now was a tropical userstorm, gaining the name Comix. Comix slowly moved westward, slowly gaining strength. Unexpectedly, Comix became the fourth userstorm of the season to become a severe tropical userstorm. Throughout December, Comix's intensification rate quickly increased, and the storm unexpectedly became a usercane, the third of the season. Comix took a turn towards the northwest, its small size allowing it to gradually intensify. Thanks to favorable conditions, Comix rapidly intensified into a Category 2 usercane, the second of the season, on March 22.
Comix, despite being the final usercane of 2019 was noted for it's extremely small size, with tropical storm force winds emitting only a mere 95 miles from the center, making it one of the smallest usercanes on record.
Tropical Userpression Sixteen (Poule77)[]
Tropical userpression (NUC) | |
Duration | September 3 – September 28 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 30 mph (45 km/h) (1-min) 1014 mbar (hPa) |
A tropical userwave formed in the central Atlantic on August 10. The wave gradually organized, and was designated as Tropical Userpression Sixteen on September 3. Sixteen remained poorly organized after this, however, failing to strengthen or maintain significant convection, until it eventually degenerated into a remnant circulation on September 28.
Tropical Userpression Seventeen (Easterlies)[]
Tropical userpression (NUC) | |
Duration | September 13 – October 1 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 35 mph (55 km/h) (1-min) 1007 mbar (hPa) |
A tropical userwave formed in the central Atlantic on September 9, rapidly organizing into Tropical Userpression Seventeen on September 13 as it obtained a circulation and a central convection. Despite this, Seventeen's convection suddenly began to weaken before it could reach userstorm strength, and degenerated into a remnant circulation on October 1.
Tropical Userstorm Periastron (Periastron1)[]
Tropical userstorm (NUC) | |
Duration | September 28 – September 30 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 40 mph (65 km/h) (1-min) 1007 mbar (hPa) |
A tropical userwave was spotted just offshore of Mexico on September 28, organizing extremely rapidly and becoming Tropical Userpression Eighteen just four hours later, continuing its explosive organization to reach userstorm status, receiving the name Periaston later that day. Periaston continued to strengthen right up to its landfall in Mexico on September 30, peaking as a 40 mph userstorm before weakening rapidly and dissipating just two days after it formed.
Tropical Userstorm Ghostfighter (Ghostfighter7586)[]
Tropical userstorm (NUC) | |
Duration | September 29 – January 11, 2020 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 40 mph (65 km/h) (1-min) 1005 mbar (hPa) |
A tropical userwave was first noted in the central Atlantic on September 10. During the next several weeks, the userwave gradually organized, and was designated as Tropical Userpression Nineteen on September 29. The strengthening trend continued, and Nineteen was upgraded into Tropical Userstorm Ghostfighter on November 10. Ghostfighter then continued to gradually strengthen thereafter.
Tropical Userstorm Jon (HurricaneJon487)[]
Tropical userstorm (NUC) | |
Duration | October 6 – January 29, 2020 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 50 mph (85 km/h) (1-min) 1003 mbar (hPa) |
A tropical userwave in the central Atlantic was first noted on September 17, and began to organize steadily. On October 6, the userwave developed into Tropical Userpression Twenty, and continued to strengthen, reaching tropical userstorm status and receiving the name Jon on October 13. Jon continued to strengthen through the next several months afterwards. Jon would continue to slowly strengthen as it entered the new year but on January 29, Jon entered much cooler waters and dissipated later that day.
Tropical Userpression Twenty-Two (Xiaomi90)[]
Tropical userpression (NUC) | |
Duration | October 13 – October 14 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 30 mph (45 km/h) (1-min) 1015 mbar (hPa) |
A tropical userwave in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico began to show signs of organization on September 21, and organized into Tropical Userpression Twenty-Two on October 13 just before it made landfall in Texas on October 14, dissipating shortly afterwards.
Tropical Userstorm Joshua (JoshuaLitsey)[]
Tropical userstorm (NUC) | |
Duration | October 13 – January 11, 2020 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 40 mph (65 km/h) (1-min) 1004 mbar (hPa) |
A tropical userwave was first noted on April 28 over the northeastern Atlantic. The userwave began to organize, and formed into Tropical Userpression Twenty-three on October 13. Twenty-three's strengthening trend continued, and the system attained tropical userstorm strength and received the name Joshua on November 27, nearing the Azores as it did so. The system peaked at 40mph with a pressure of 1004 before degenerating into a remnant low on January 11, 2020.
Tropical Userpression Twenty-Four (Cyclone Watchers 435)[]
Tropical userpression (NUC) | |
Duration | October 27 – November 22 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 35 mph (55 km/h) (1-min) 1008 mbar (hPa) |
A tropical userwave was first noted on September 13 in the western Caribbean. The wave gradually organized as it moved north, and was designated as Tropical Userpression Twenty-four as it approached Cuba. Twenty-four reached its peak as a 35 mph tropical userpression shortly before making landfall in Cuba on November 22, with its dissipation occurring shortly afterwards.

A tropical userwave moved off the coast of Africa on October 19. Favorable conditions allowed the userwave to develop, leading to its designation as Tropical Userpression Twenty-five on November 3. Over the next several weeks, the strengthening trend continued, and Twenty-five was upgraded into Tropical Userstorm Portavia on November 22. Portavia dissipated on March 21, 2020, however later reformed into a tropical depression on July 31, 2021, renamed Solaris.
Tropical Userstorm Yuri (Yuriwale)[]
Tropical userstorm (NUC) | |

Peak intensity | 40 mph (65 km/h) (1-min) 1006 mbar (hPa) |
A tropical userwave was first noted in the central tropical Atlantic on November 11. The userwave rapidly organized over the next several days, and was designated as Tropical Userpression Twenty-six on November 14 while east of the Windward Islands. Twenty-six continued its strengthening trend over the next several weeks. On December 14, it was upgraded to a Tropical Userstorm Yuri. Yuri struggled to intensify further due to high wind shear, and started to weaken. Yuri barely made it into the next year, but it degenerated into a remnant low 4 days into the new year.
Tropical Userstorm AC (AC5230)[]
Tropical userstorm (NUC) | |
Duration | November 23, 2019 – February 9, 2020 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 40 mph (65 km/h) (1-min) 1005 mbar (hPa) |
Another tropical userwave was first noted over the central Atlantic on November 3. The userwave gradually organized, and was upgraded into Tropical Userpression Twenty-Seven as it developed a closed center on November 23. Twenty-Seven continued its gradual strengthening trend over the next several weeks, intensifying into a tropical userstorm, and receiving the name AC as a result. However, it met unfavorable conditions, including high shear and cold water, and degenerated into a remnant low on February 9th, 2020.
Subtropical Usercane Lars (Hurricane Lars1)[]

---|---|
Peak intensity | 40 mph (65 km/h) (1-min) 1006 mbar (hPa) |
A disturbance off the coast of New England began to show signs of tropical organization on September 28, and developed in Tropical Userpression Twenty-one on October 9. Twenty-one then quickly strengthened into Tropical Userstorm Java on October 16. Java quickly turned northward later that month, and peaked as a 40 mph userstorm with a pressure of 1006 mbar as it made landfall over Nova Scotia on November 18, dissipating that same day.
During post-analysis, Java was found to have been a regeneration of Usercane Bittersweet from the 2016 usercane season.
Season effects[]
This is a table of all the userstorms that have formed in the 2019 Atlantic hurricane 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 tropical wave, or a low, and all the damage figures are in USD.
