The season had three tropical storms and three hurricanes, none of which became major hurricanes.A major hurricane is a storm that ranks as Category 3 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale.http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/tcfaqHED.html Hurricane Research Division: Frequently Asked Questions A: Basic Definitions http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/tcfaqA.html A3) What is a super-typhoon?

An undercount bias of zero to six tropical cyclones per year between 1851 and 1885 has been estimated.Hurricanes and Typhoons: Past, Present and Future The Atlantic hurricane database re-analysis project: Documentation for the 1851–1910 alterations and additions to the HURDAT database Christopher W. Landsea R. J. Murname and K.-B. Liu 2004 Columbia University Press New York 0-231-12388-4 177–221 Jose Fernandez-Partagas and Henry Diaz initially documented five tropical cyclones in a 1995 report on this season. A sixth system was added by Michael Chenoweth in 2003 from records taken in Colón, Panama. The first tropical cyclone was observed as a tropical storm offshore the East Coast of the United States from June 15 to June 17. The second and third systems were active in mid-August and mid-September, respectively, and both attained Category 2 intensity at their peaks on the modern-day Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale and neither made landfall. A fourth tropical cyclone caused flooding in Saint Lucia and brought heavy rain to parts of Barbados on October 5, but its track prior to that date is unknown. The fifth hurricane was known to be active for a few days in October off the East Coast of the United States. Finally, a sixth system was centered near Panama – between November 22 and November 25. __TOC__ Timeline Systems Tropical Storm One Atl One 1862 path.png June 15 June 17 50 Based on reports from four ships, a tropical storm is known to have existed for two days in mid-June off the East Coast of the United States.Jose Fernández-Partagás and Henry F.

Climate researcher Michael Chenoweth proposed the removal of this system from HURDAT, arguing that wind and pressure records obtained from the East Coast of the United States are more supportive of "elongated area of low pressure and strong high pressure building in, which is more consistent with a baroclinic system".Chenoweth, Michael A New Compilation of North Atlantic Tropical Cyclones, 1851–98 Journal of Climate December 2014 27 12 8674–8685 10.1175/JCLI-D-13-00771.1 American Meteorological Society 2014JCli...27.8674C free Hurricane Two Atl Two 1862 path.png August 18 August 21 90 A Category 2 hurricane on the modern-day Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale was first seen on August 18, while located approximately 620 miles (1,000 km) east of Florida. Over the next three days, it tracked north and moved parallel to the East Coast of the United States. The system dissipated roughly 310 miles (500 km) south of Newfoundland on August 21. Hurricane Three Atl Three 1862 path.png September 12 September 20 90 On September 12, a Spanish ship, the Julian de Unsueta, was de-masted by a strong gale and thrown onto its beam ends. A few days later, she docked at Saint Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. On September 13, the barques Montezuma and Gazelle were also both de-masted by a hurricane near Barbados. No information is available on the hurricane between September 14 to September 16, but on September 17, the barques Abbyla and Elias Pike encountered the hurricane, roughly 500 miles (800 km) off the coast of North Carolina. Several ships reported encountering hurricane conditions on September 19 off the East Coast of the United States, some as far north as Sable Island. Based on these reports, the track began about 500 miles (800 km) northeast of the Virgin Islands on September 12 and ended on September 20 off the coast of Nova Scotia. Tropical Storm Four Atl Four 1862 path.png October 6 October 6 50 On October 5, a tropical storm caused flooding in Saint Lucia. That day and throughout the next, high winds and heavy rain were observed in Speightstown, Barbados. The storm may also have affected Saint Vincent. No track has been identified for the storm and it has been assigned a single location in the HURDAT database. Hurricane Five Atl Five 1862 path.png October 14 October 16 70 A modern-day Category 1 hurricane was first seen on October 14 approximately 310 miles (500 km) west of Bermuda. A schooner, Albert Treat, encountered the storm and was thrown onto its beam ends. The schooner suffered considerable damage and three men drowned.1862-10-31 MARINE INTELLIGENCE.; Cleared. Arrived.

Throughout October 16 the hurricane traveled northward, parallel to the East Coast of the United States. The ship Oder reported losing its sails in a hurricane off Sable Island that day. The Confederate cruiser Alabama lost its main yard and several sails, torn to shreds in the wind, and had two boats smashed.The Sailor's Civil War: The Alabama and the Kearsarge Marvel William University of North Carolina Press 1996 0-8078-2294-9 Chapel Hill, N.C. 76–77 The storm became extratropical around midday on October 16 and dissipated completely by October 17. Tropical Storm Six Atl Six 1862 path.png November 22 November 25 60 Based on meteorological records kept by an officer of the U.S. steamer James Adger, a strong tropical storm was centered to the northwest of Aspinwall, Panama from November 22 through to November 25. The storm weakened late on November 24 and began drifting slowly westward on November 25 before dissipating later that day.Hurricane Research Division; Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory 2008 Documentation of Atlantic Tropical Cyclones Changes in HURDAT National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration March 17, 2014 http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/metadata_master.html#1862_1 See also Tropical cyclones Atlantic hurricane Atlantic hurricane reanalysis project Tropical cyclone observation Notes nb References 1860 Atlantic hurricane 1862 Category:Atlantic hurricane seasons Category:1860s Atlantic hurricane seasons Category:Articles which contain graphical timelines Category:1862 natural disasters Category:Meteorological events in 1862
