The 1927 Atlantic hurricane season ran through the summer and the first half of fall in 1927. The season was relatively inactive. There were eight tropical cyclones that formed during the season; four became hurricanes; one became a major hurricane. The first storm of the season was also the strongest and most notable. It became a Category 3 early in its life and was one for a long time (more than two days). It then became a strong extratropical cyclone as it headed up the east coast of the U.S. striking Nova Scotia causing heavy damage and 184 deaths. The other hurricane to affect land produced gusty winds on Bermuda. The only cyclone to strike the U.S. that year was a tropical storm that made landfall in South Carolina.
