The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season comes to a close Saturday, bringing to an end a season that saw 11 hurricanes compared to the average seven, and death and destruction hundreds of miles from where storms came ashore on the U.

The Atlantic spawned 11 hurricanes this season, above the annual average of seven. Also above average was the number of major hurricanes, defined as Category 3 strength or higher on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale.

It was the ninth successive hurricane season with above average activity, according to the United Nations' World Meteorological Organization.

The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season will officially end Nov. 30, closing out a year of destructive storms that caused widespread damage and casualties.

During the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, Florida Power & Light Company helped more than two million customers.

The Atlantic basin saw 18 named storms, 11 of which were hurricanes, meaning the winds reached 74 mph or greater.

The 2024 season entered a three-way tie for second place among years with the most gulf landfalls: Five hurricanes struck the U.S. Gulf Coast in 2005, 2020 and 2024. Just one season was more taxing on coastal residents, when six hurricanes made landfall after roaring through the gulf in 1886.

The six-month season saw an above-average number of storms. Scientists say climate change is leading to more powerful and deadly hurricanes that can affect inland communities far from the coasts.
