The 2044 Atlantic hurricane saw slightly above average activity, and the most named storms since 2025. However, despite the activity, the ACE value was slightly below average. This is likely due to the overall weakness of most of the storms this year. However, it remained an active and notable season. While a typical hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, Tropical Storm Astor formed on May 29, proving tropical cyclone formation is possible at any time of the year. It ended on November 19, which is considered a near-average end date. Florida took the brunt of this season, with three tropical cyclones making landfall there.
There were several notable storms in 2044. In May, Tropical Storm Astor formed and caused floods in Hispaniola. In September, Hurricane Emilius caused widespread impact across the Caribbean and U.S, and Hurricane Hanna was the strongest storm of the year, and paralleled Florida before striking the east coast as a Category 3 hurricane. In October, Hurricane Isaias made landfall in Florida as a strong tropical storm, and Hurricane Keanu caused moderate impact across Central America and Mexico. In November, Tropical Storm Marco caused devastating flooding across Honduras and Nicaragua.
The season's activity was reflected with a cumulative accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) rating of 94, which is categorized as being "near normal". ACE is, broadly speaking, a measure of the power of the hurricane multiplied by the length of time it existed, so storms that last a long time, as well as particularly strong hurricanes, have high ACEs.
