List Of Storms In The 2003 Atlantic Hurricane Season
The 2003 Atlantic hurricane season officially began June 1, 2003 and officially ended on November 30, 2003. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin, although effectively the season extended from April through December due to out of season storm activity.
The 2003 season was tied for the sixth most active season on record. Sixteen tropical storms formed, of which seven became hurricanes; of these, three strengthened into major hurricanes, of which one reached Category 5 strength, the highest categorization for Atlantic hurricanes on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. The most notable storms of the season were hurricanes Fabian, Isabel, and Juan, all of which were retired. The total season impact resulted in $4.4 billion (2003 USD) in damage and 92 total deaths.
