Timeline of the 1982 Atlantic hurricane season
Track map of all storms during the season
The 1982 Atlantic hurricane season was an inactive Atlantic hurricane season, during which five tropical cyclones formed.[1] The season officially began on June 1, 1982, and ended on November 30, dates which conventionally limit the period of each year when tropical cyclones tend to form in the Atlantic. However, most of the activity was constrained to the month of September. This timeline documents tropical cyclone formations, strengthening, weakening, landfalls, extratropical transitions, as well as dissipations during the season. The timeline also includes information which was not operationally released, meaning that information from post-storm reviews by the National Hurricane Center, such as information on a storm that was not operationally warned upon.
This season produced eight tropical depressions, of which five became named storms; two attained hurricane status, of which one became a major hurricane, a storm that ranks as a Category 3 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale.[1] Hurricane Alberto was one of four storms to attain hurricane status in the Gulf of Mexico and not make landfall. The other three were Laurie of 1969,[1] Henri of 1979,[2] and Jeanne of 1980.[3] However, rains from Alberto caused severe flooding, which killed 23 people in Cuba.[4] Hurricane Debby was the only major hurricane of the season, peaking as a weak Category 4 over the open waters of the Atlantic basin.[5] Tropical Storm Ernesto was the last storm of the season. It peaked in intensity on October 2 just below hurricane status. The storm dissipated the next day,[6] 58 days before the official end of the season.[7]
