These dates are conventionally the period of each year when most [[tropical cyclone]]s form in the [[Atlantic Ocean|Atlantic basin]]. Three storms formed in June, making it one of the most active Junes on record. The early part of the season had the most activity, and the season ended quietly compared to the beginning. There were eight named storms, and no major hurricanes. This shows that early season activity has no indication on the entire season. Hurricane Gladys was the costliest storm of the season, causing more than $6&nbsp;million (1968&nbsp;USD) in damage as it moved northward through [[Florida]], Cuba, and [[North Carolina]]. ==Storm names== The following names were used for named storms (tropical storms and hurricanes) that formed in the North Atlantic in 1968. The list is mostly the same as the [[1964 Atlantic hurricane season|1964 season]], save for Candy, Dolly, Edna, Frances, Hannah, and Ingrid, which replaced Cleo, Dora, Ethel, Florence, Hilda, and Isbell (although Ethel, Florence, and Isbell were not retired). A storm was named Candy for the first time in 1968.
