It officially started on June 1 and ended on November 30. This is when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic. However the first named storm, Ana, developed nearly a month before the official start of the season, the first time this has happened since [[Tropical Storm Beryl|2012’s Beryl]] and the earliest a hurricane has happened since [[Tropical Storm Ana (2003)|2003’s Ana]]. The season ended with the diminish of Kate 18 days before the official end. Due to a strong El Niño, most agencies predicted that only 6–10 tropical cyclones would form; however, the number of tropical cyclones that formed this season was higher than what the agencies predicted. == Retirement == In the spring of 2016, the WMO (World Meteorological Organization) had retired the names ''Erika'' and '''Joaquin'''. Those names will not be used again in the Atlantic. '''Elsa''' and '''Julian''' were chosen to replace those names for the 2021 season.
