CNN —As the hurricane season closes, a handful of blockbuster storms made history after an eerily quiet first half of the season gave false hope.
In fact, we didn’t have any named storms from July 3 to August 31, the first time that’s occurred since 1941.
One of those storms was Hurricane Ian, which hit land in late September and will go down as the most memorable storm of the 2022 season.
“Tropical storms have formed in every month outside of hurricane season, and there have been a few hurricanes, too,” NOAA said.
Historically, we’ve seen at least 15 named storms form in the month of December, even all the way up to December 30.
