2020 Atlantic hurricane season was a very active season that produced 21 named storms, 11 hurricanes, and 6 major hurricanes. It is an above-average season compared to other seasons, as there was a fairly strong La Nina that aided in the formation of more storms. The season officially began on June 1, 2020, and ends on November 30, 2020. However, as illustrated by Arthur, tropical cyclones can form at any time of the year.
The season was accompanied with higher-than-average ocean temperatures, along with an unusually weak Saharan Air Layer. Because of this, a big percentage of storms formed near the Cape Verde Formation Zone. The 2020 season was parcticularly destructive, with Fay's peak intensity landfall on the Florida Panhandle, Laura's large size that enveloped the Lesser Antilles and destructive rip currents that devastated Bermuda, Omar's path that paralleled the East Coast, causing winds to pummel Eastern States as well as a small portion of the Carribbean, and Paulette's peak landfalls on Quintana Roo and Texas, as well as in the Lesser Antilles.
The following names will be used to name tropical and subtropical cyclones in the 2020 season. Because there were no retired names on 2014, this list was identical to the one used in 2014. All of the names were used completely.
