A well-defined low pressure system located about 350 statute miles (560 km) south-southwest of Bermuda organized into a tropical depression on September 5. It strengthened into Tropical Storm Nate that evening and continued to strengthen with little change in position, becoming the sixth hurricane of the season on September 7.
Hurricane Nate passed 125 statute miles (200 km) south of Bermuda on September 8 and reached peak intensity of 90 mph (160 km/h). Nate then began to weaken. After turning north, it became extratropical over the central Atlantic Ocean on September 10.
Canadian Navy ships headed to the U.S. Gulf Coast to help in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina were slowed down trying to avoid Nate and Hurricane Ophelia (see below).
