The name Delta was used for two tropical or subtropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean.
- Subtropical Storm Delta (1972), Stayed out in the central Atlantic and did not affect any land masses
- Tropical Storm Delta (2005), Record 25th storm of the 2005 season that formed in the eastern Atlantic and affected the Canary and Madeira Islands as an extratropical storm before moving into Morocco, where it brought much needed rain to the region
Famous quotes containing the words tropical and/or storm:
“Then the bowsprit got mixed with the rudder sometimes:
A thing, as the Bellman remarked,
That frequently happens in tropical climes
When a vessel is, so to speak, “snarked.””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“When the storm rattles my windowpane
I’ll stay hunched at my desk, it will roar in vain
For I’ll have plunged deep inside the thrill
Of conjuring spring with the force of my will,
Coaxing the sun from my heart, and building here
Out of my fiery thoughts, a tepid atmosphere.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
