An active 2021 hurricane season came to an end this week, having produced 21 named storms, including seven hurricanes of which four were major hurricanes with winds over 111 mph.
This year was the third most active year on record in terms of named storms, it marks the sixth consecutive above-normal Atlantic hurricane season, and this was the first time on record that two consecutive hurricane seasons exhausted the list of 21 storm names.
