2060 Mediterranean cyclone season summary

Season summary

 The 2060 Mediterranean cyclone season was a very active season. It ran year-round, with most storms forming between June and November. 21 depressions formed, of which 17 became named storms. 10 of the named storms became hurricanes, and 5 became majors. Since the Mediterranean is surrounded by land, every storm except for a few depressions affected land.

The most destructive storms of the season were Gillian, Isabel, Jake, and Miranda. Gillian struck Sicily at C3 strength and Italy at C2 strength. Isabel was the strongest of the season, reaching C5 strength. It also struck Sicily at C2 strength and passed south of Sardinia as a C3. It then impacted the Balearic Islands at near peak intensity and struck Spain as a C3. The next destructive storm, Jake, passed near Montenegro as a C1 and impacted Venice as a C2. Miranda passed near Tunisia as a C2, passed near Italy, Corsica, Sardinia, and southern France as a C3, and impacted northern Spain as a C2.
