The first system was initially observed near the Windward Islands on September 6. The last system to dissipate, the fourth storm, transitioned into an extratropical cyclone on October 11, while located well southeast of Newfoundland. These dates fall within the period with the most tropical cyclone activity in the Atlantic. Of the season's five tropical cyclones, only one reached hurricane status, the fewest since 1890. Furthermore, that storm strengthened into a Category 3 major hurricane on the modern-day Saffir–Simpson scale. It attained hurricane strength on October 8, the latest first hurricane on record in an Atlantic season, only eclipsed by the 1907 and 1914 seasons, which had no hurricanes at all, and later tied in 2026. At least six fatalities were attributed to the system, which sent a rogue wave across the steerage of the Cunard steamer RMS Campania. The first storm also resulted in two deaths after a schooner wrecked in Barbados. The season's activity was reflected with an accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) rating of 28, the lowest value since 1864. ACE is a metric used to express the energy used by a tropical cyclone during its lifetime. Therefore, a storm with a longer duration will have high values of ACE. It is only calculated at six-hour increments in which specific tropical and subtropical systems are either at or above sustained wind speeds of 39 mph (63 km/h), which is the threshold for tropical storm intensity. Thus, tropical depressions are not included here.http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/comparison_table.html Atlantic Basin Comparison of Original and Revised HURDAT September 2021 Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration October 1, 2021 Miami, Florida __TOC__ Timeline Systems Tropical Storm One Atl Hurricane Tropical Storm One weather map, September 6, 1905.jpg September 6 September 8 50 AL01 1905 path.png The first storm of the season, already at tropical storm intensity, was identified on September 6 to the east of Grenada.

A schooner sailing from Bridgetown to Suriname encountered heavy seas just a day out of port and turned back. It was thrown onto the pierhead and wrecked. The captain and a crewman were swept overboard and drowned. Tropical Storm Two Atl Hurricane Tropical Storm Two weather map, September 14, 1905.jpg September 11 September 16 50 <1004 AL02 1905 path.png HURDAT indicates that a tropical storm originated to the northeast of the Windward Islands on September 11. Steadily tracking towards the west-northwest, the storm gradually intensified, reaching its peak intensity with winds estimated at 60 mph km/h on 5 on September 13. After turning northwestward, the system slowed and began to weaken. By September 16, the storm weakened to a tropical depression and dissipated shortly thereafter. Tropical Storm Three Atl Hurricane Tropical Storm Three weather map, September 29, 1905.jpg September 24 September 30 45 <1000 AL03 1905 path.png Based on weather reports from the Weather Bureau Office in New Orleans, Louisiana, http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/Landsea/Partagas/1905-1908/1905.pdf Year 1905 Jose Fernandez Partagas Henry F. Diaz amp 1997 Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration April 28, 2014 Miami, Florida a tropical storm was first observed about 20 miles (30 km) north-northwest of Swan Island on September 24. The storm strengthened slightly before making landfall near Punta Allen, Quintana Roo, around 1200 UTC on September 25. Early on the following day, the system emerged into the Gulf of Mexico and headed north-northwestward. At midday on September 26, it peaked with sustained winds of 50 mph (85 km/h). The storm re-curved north-northeastward late on September 28, while approaching the Gulf Coast of the United States. At 1000 UTC the next day, this system made landfall in extreme southwest Vermilion Parish, Louisiana at the same intensity. The storm slowly weakened inland and dissipated over Arkansas on September 30. Strong winds and rough seas were reported along the central Gulf Coast of the United States, forcing ships to remain in port. However, rough seas beached many other vessels and washed away some bathhouses and waterfront buildings south of New Orleans. In Gulfport, Mississippi, storm tides inundated the railroad wharves.https://www.newspapers.com/clip/120745335/the-buffalo-enquirer/ Gulf Coast Is In Great Peril September 30, 1905 The Buffalo Enquirer 6 March 12, 2023 Newspapers.com Hurricane Four Atl Hurricane Hurricane Four weather map, October 9, 1905.jpg October 1 October 11 105 AL04 1905 path.png On October 1, a tropical depression developed in the southwestern Caribbean Sea. Moving slowly north-northeastward, it reached tropical storm status early on October 3. The following day, the storm curved northeastward. Kingston, Jamaica, recorded rainfall as the system bypassed the island. Late on October 5 and early on October 6, the storm passed through the Windward Passage. Eastern Cuba was affected "with some force", but damage was not significant. Entering the Atlantic Ocean, the system passed through the southeastern Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands without causing damage. While centered about halfway between Bermuda and Turks and Caicos Islands, the storm strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale. Later on October 8, it deepened to a Category 2 hurricane, while passing south of Bermuda. The island experienced gale-force winds with gusts reaching hurricane force, but damage was apparently minimal. Early on October 9, the storm intensified into a Category 3 hurricane and peaked with winds of 120 mph km/h on 5. On October 10, it weakened to a Category 2 and then became extratropical early the next day. The steamer Campania encountered the remnants of the storm and was reported to have been struck by a large rogue wave, which was described as "disastrous." The ship roll and water moved across the steerage, sweeping five passengers into the ocean, they presumably drowned. At least 30 other people were injured, one of them fatally.http://cdnc.ucr.edu/cgi-bin/cdnc?a=d&d=SFC19051015.2.141 Campania's Death List Incomplete October 15, 1905 California Digital Newspaper Collection San Francisco Call May 3, 2014 New York The extratropical remnants dissipated over the Labrador Sea on October 13. Tropical Storm Five Atl Hurricane Tropical Storm Five weather map, October 9, 1905.jpg October 5 October 10 45 <1003 AL05 1905 path.png A tropical storm was first observed in the Gulf of Mexico on October 5, while located about 105 miles (170 km) north of the Yucatán Peninsula. The storm strengthened slowly while crossing the Gulf of Mexico and peaked with sustained winds of 50 mph (85 km/h) early on October 8. At 1700 UTC on the following day, it made landfall near Morgan City, Louisiana, at the same intensity. The system quickly weakened inland and transitioned into an extratropical cyclone over Mississippi on October 10. The extratropical remnants dissipated over Virginia on October 11. The remnants of this storm brought heavy rains to the Eastern United States and Atlantic Canada.

It includes their duration, names, landfall(s)–denoted by bold location names – damages, and death totals. Deaths in parentheses are additional and indirect (an example of an indirect death would be a traffic accident), but were still related to that storm. Damage and deaths include totals while the storm was extratropical, a wave, or a low, and all of the damage figures are in 1905 USD. center 1905 North Atlantic tropical cyclone center storm One September 6–8 60 (95) Unknown Windward Islands Unknown 2 storm Two September 11–16 60 (95) Unknown None None None storm Three September 24–30 50 (85) 1000 Mexico, Gulf Coast of the United States (Louisiana) Minor None cat3 Four October 1–11 120 (195) Unknown Greater Antilles, Bahamas, Turks and Caicos Islands, Bermuda Unknown 6 storm Five October 5–10 50 (85) 1003 Louisiana, Eastern United States, Atlantic Canada None None 5 September 6 – October 10 120 (195) Unknown Unknown 8 See also Tropical cyclones 1900–1940 South Pacific cyclone seasons 1900–1950 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone seasons 1900s Australian region cyclone seasons References 30em External links Monthly Weather Review 1900 Atlantic hurricane 1905 Category:Meteorological events in 1905 Category:1905 natural disasters
