The 2012 Hurricane season for the North Atlantic basin started on June 1, 2012 and ended on November 30, 2012. The 2012 North Atlantic hurricane season is officially over and a total of 19 named storms have developed. The 2012 season was above average, but had generally less intense storms due to a developing El Niņo pattern and a near-normal North-Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). This page will be updated again with the arrival of the 2013 hurricane season for the Atlantic, of if any "extra-seasonal" activity occurs.
