What was the name of the first tropical storm of 2015 whose season began in June?
Timeline of the 2015 Atlantic hurricane season The 2015 Atlantic hurricane season was the third consecutive year to feature below-average activity, with eleven named storms. The season began on June 1 and ended on November 30, dates adopted by convention that historically describe the period in each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin. The season's first storm, Tropical Storm Ana, developed on May 8; the season's final storm, Hurricane Kate, lost its tropical characteristics on November 11.
1985 Atlantic hurricane season The 1985 Atlantic hurricane season had 6 U.S. landfalling hurricanes, which was the highest number in 99 years. The season officially began on June 1 and lasted until November 30. It was an average season, with 11 named storms developing. This was partially attributed to a La Niña – a meteorological phenomenon that produces favorable conditions across the Atlantic basin, such as lower wind shear and higher sea surface temperatures. The first storm, Ana, developed on July 15 near Bermuda and caused minor effects in Canada while transitioning into an extratropical cyclone. Three other tropical cyclones – Claudette, Henri, and Isabel – did not significantly affect land. Claudette developed offshore of the Southeastern United States and brushed Bermuda and the Azores. Henri and Isabel were dissipating as they approached land. However, the precursor of the latter caused a severe flood in Puerto Rico that killed 180 people. Additionally, Tropical Storm Fabian and three tropical depressions did not have any known impact on land.
