The 1920 Atlantic hurricane season ran through the summer and the first half of fall in 1920. The season was below average with only five tropical cyclones forming in the Atlantic Basin. It had one of the shortest seasons of duration, with the activity occurring in a 23 day period. All but one of them were hurricanes but none reached major hurricane status (Category 3 or above).
