Meteorological History[]
An area of disturbed weather east of the Windward Islands was designated Tropical Depression Five on August 3. Early on August 4, it was named Tropical Storm Dorian, and it was upgraded to a hurricane later that day. Tracking generally westward, it rapidly intensified to Category 4, and after fluctuating in strength, made landfall on Yucatan with 150 mph (240 km/h) winds. At least 155 deaths and more than $8.7 billion (2019 USD) in damage have been attributed to Dorian.
Retirement[]
On spring of 2025, the name Dorian is retired by the World Meteorological Organization due to heavy impact by the storm, and will never be used again for another Atlantic hurricane, It is replaced by Darren for 2025 season.
