Season details[]
- Haimaica formed on December 31, the earliest date for a cyclone to form.
- Haimaica was admitted in the 4999 Atlantic hurricane season, but since the deadline was November 30, Haimaica was introduced into the 5000 season anyway,
- January was unusually extremely active, with Andrea, Barry, Chantal, Darwin, Eria, and Felin forming in the range between January 3–20
- Andrea formed on January 3, activated as a 55 mph tropical storm
- Andrea became the earliest hurricane alive on January 4, beating Alvin of the 3956 Atlantic hurricane season
- Andrea intensified into a 120 mph major hurricane on January 6, becoming the strongest, earliest and only major hurricane in January. The strongest major hurricane record was later broken by Chantal 6 days later
- Barry was the least living tropical cyclone on record, forming and dying 15 minutes later. Barry was also the earliest second tropical cyclone in a season, forming January 6, beating Benson (2066 season) by a month and 3 weeks
- Chantal became the earliest 3rd storm to form ever, forming on the day of January 7
- Chantal became a hurricane on January 8, the third earliest hurricane ever in a season
- Chantal intensified to a 155 mph Cat 4 hurricane on the late night of January 9, becoming the strongest major hurricane, breaking Andrea's record which was set 3 days ago and it was also the strongest Category 4 hurricane ever, as it had 901 mbar
- Chantal became the most costliest hurricane to ever hit in a season; it was immediately retired on January 18 as it hit Florida, Georgia, South/North Carolina, Virginia, Delaware, Rhode Island, Maryland, and the rest of the eastern coast of the US (including New York)
- Darwin was the earliest 4th storm to form in a season, forming January 9
- Darwin was one of only 2 storms to survive crossing through the middle of a major hurricane (Major Hurricane was Chantal)
- Darwin made landfall on the coast of Newfoundland as a weak major hurricane, becoming the first major hurricane landfall on Newfoundland. Only Felin was able to set the record again
