Six of them became named tropical storms, and four of those became hurricanes; one hurricane became a major hurricane (Category 3 to 5 strength on the Saffir–Simpson scale). The season was, however, near-average in terms of accumulated cyclone energy. The season officially started on June 1 and officially ended on November 30. However, tropical cyclogenesis is possible at any time of the year, as demonstrated by formation in April of an unnamed subtropical storm in the central Atlantic. In June, Tropical Depression One caused flooding in Cuba and in Florida, where two people were killed. In August, Hurricane Andrew, the season's only major hurricane, struck the Bahamas, Florida, and Louisiana. It was the costliest Atlantic hurricane on record at the time, caused $27.3 billion (1992 USD) in damage; it also caused as 65 fatalities. Its greatest impact was in South Florida, where the storm made landfall with 1-minute sustained winds of 150 kn mph km/h out 5. One month later, Hurricanes Bonnie and Charley produced tropical storm-force winds in the Azores, and the former caused one fatality. Tropical Storm Danielle was one of few tropical cyclones known to make landfall on the Delmarva Peninsula. The storm caused minor damage and two fatalities in the Mid-Atlantic and New England regions of the United States. One other hurricane in the season, Frances, did not significantly affect land. It developed in the central Atlantic, and tracked well away from land, and brought only light rainfall to Newfoundland. Collectively, the storms in the 1992 Atlantic hurricane season caused $27.3 billion in losses and 73 fatalities.

It was a below average season in which 10 tropical or subtropical depressions formed. Seven of the depressions attained tropical storm status, and four of these attained hurricane status. In addition, one tropical cyclone eventually attained major hurricane status,http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/general/lib/lib1/nhclib/mwreviews/1992.pdf Atlantic Hurricane Season of 1992 Max Mayfield Lixion Avila Edward Rappaport March 1994 National Hurricane Center September 5, 2011 which is below the 1981–2010 average of 2.7 per season.https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/outlooks/hurricane2012/May/background_information_body.html Background information: the North Atlantic hurricane season Climate Prediction Center May 2012 August 25, 2021 The low amount of activity is partially attributed to weaker than normal tropical waves, the source for most North Atlantic tropical cyclones. Only two hurricanes and one tropical storm made landfall during the season. However, damage from Hurricane Andrew was exorbitant, causing most of the season's 73 deaths and $27.3 billion (1992 USD) damage toll. Tropical cyclogenesis in the 1992 Atlantic hurricane season began with the development of Subtropical Storm One on April 21. However, over the next three months, minimal activity occurred, with only two depressions developing, one in June and the other in July.

After September 16, however, five tropical cyclones developed in a span of nine days, from September 17 to 26. Thereafter, activity abruptly halted, and only one tropical cyclone developed in October, Hurricane Frances. By October 27, Frances became extratropical, ending season activity. The season's activity was reflected with an accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) rating of 76, which is classified as "near normal". ACE is, broadly speaking, a measure of the power of the hurricane multiplied by the length of time it existed, so storms that last a long time, as well as particularly strong hurricanes, have high ACEs. It is only calculated for full advisories on tropical systems at or exceeding 39 mph (63 km/h), which is the threshold for tropical storm strength.Hurricane Research Division; Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration June 2019 Atlantic basin Comparison of Original and Revised HURDAT August 25, 2021 http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/comparison_table.html Miami, Florida Systems Subtropical Storm One Atl subtropical 01L 1992-04-22 1800Z.png 01L 1992 path.png April 21 April 24 45 1002 List of off-season Atlantic hurricanes On April 21, a low-pressure area separated from the prevailing westerlies about 600 mi southeast of Bermuda, and developed into a subtropical depression at 1200 UTC.

It moved to the west-northwest, and strengthened into Tropical Storm Andrew on August 17. After reaching winds of 50 mph on, strong southwesterly shear weakened the storm, and by August 20 it weakened to a minimal storm with a pressure of 1015 mbar inHg on. It bypassed the Lesser Antilles completely, and turned to the west in response to a building high pressure system to the north. Upon turning to the west, a trough of low pressure positioned to the southwest of Andrew created an environment with little vertical shear and well-defined outflow. The storm quickly intensified due to its small size, and became a hurricane on August 22. Andrew rapidly intensified under ideal conditions for development,http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/1992andrew.html Hurricane Andrew Preliminary Report Edward Rappaport December 10, 1993 National Hurricane Center November 17, 2011 and on August 23 the hurricane peaked with winds of 175 mph on. It crossed the Bahamas at that intensity, weakened slightly, and re-intensified to a 165 mph on Category 5 hurricane before making landfall near Homestead, Florida. It weakened slightly over the state to a 135 mph on hurricane, but restrengthened to a 145 mph on hurricane over the Gulf of Mexico. A strong mid-latitude trough turned Andrew northward, where it greatly weakened before hitting west of Morgan City, Louisiana on August 26 as a 115 mph on Category 3 hurricane.

It is possible that a mid to upper-level cyclonic circulation interacted with the northern portion of a tropical wave. By the following day, satellite imagery noted a well-defined low-level circulation and thus, Tropical Depression Five while centered about 633 mi south of the Azores. The depression tracked northwestward and satellite imagery began to indicate banding features. As a result, the depression was upgraded to Tropical Storm Charley on September 22. An eye developed as Charley tracked north-northwestward, and it became a hurricane on September 23. Further strengthening occurred, and by late on September 24, Charley peaked as a 110 mph on Category 2 hurricane.http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/storm_wallets/atlantic/atl1992-prelim/charley/prelim01.gif Hurricane Charley Preliminary Report 1 Max Mayfield November 14, 1992 National Hurricane Center November 17, 2011 Thereafter, Charley turned eastward and then east-northeastward while tracking over decreasing sea surface temperatures (SST). Early on September 27, Charley was downgraded to a tropical storm. Later that day, Charley crossed over Terceira Island in the Azores with winds of 65 mph on. Charley gradually lost tropical characteristics, and by 1800 UTC on September 27, it had transitioned into an extratropical storm. The remnant system accelerated northeastward toward the British Isles, where it merged with another extratropical low on September 29. While passing through the Azores, Charley produced tropical storm force winds, with the Lajes AFB reporting sustained winds of 53 mph on and gusts reaching 82 mph on.

The depression quickly intensified and was upgraded to Tropical Storm Danielle six hours later. An approaching trough caused a northeastward movement, but later a high pressure system forced the storm to northwestward, which caused Danielle to execute a small anti-cyclonic loop on September 23–24.
