The 1907 Atlantic hurricane season ran through the summer and the first half of fall in 1907. The season was a very quiet one. Only five tropical storms formed, with none of them reaching hurricane strength. This feat has only been accomplished one other season, the 1914 season. The Accumulated Cyclone Energy figure of 13 ranks this as the second most inactive season since 1900 (behind the 1914 season).

Tropical Storm One

Infobox hurricane small
name=Tropical Storm One
category=storm
type=tropical storm



formed=June 24 1907
dissipated=June 30 1907
highest winds=65 mph
lowest pressure=Unknown
The first tropical storm formed on June 24 in the western Caribbean Sea. It moved to the west-northwest, travelled through the Gulf of Mexico, and turned to the northeast. On June 29, the storm made landfall on the Florida panhandle as a 60 mph tropical storm, moved across the state, and reached a peak intensity of 65 mph while just off the coast of Georgia. It paralleled the South Carolina coastline before becoming extratropical late on the 29th. The storm accelerated northeastward, hitting North Carolina and Massachusetts before losing its identity over eastern Maine on June 30. The storm was the strongest of the season, making it the weakest storm ever recorded to be the season's strongest in the Atlantic.

Tropical Storm Two

name=Tropical Storm Two
category=storm
type=tropical storm



formed=September 18 1907
dissipated=September 23 1907
highest winds=Unknown
lowest pressure=Unknown
On September 18, a tropical depression formed to the east of southern Florida. It moved quickly across the state, and strengthened into a tropical storm the following day over the southeastern Gulf of Mexico. The storm remained weak as it moved to the northwest, and made landfall on southern Mississippi as a minimal tropical storm on the 22nd. The storm turned to the northeast, became extratropical over Alabama later on the 22nd, and dissipated over southern Virginia on the 23rd.

Tropical Storm Three

Infobox hurricane small
name=Tropical Storm Three
category=storm
type=tropical storm



formed=September 27 1907
dissipated=September 30 1907
highest winds=50 mph
lowest pressure=Unknown
A tropical storm was first observed in the Bay of Campeche on September 27. It moved quickly to the northeast, and reached winds of 50 mph before making landfall on the Florida Panhandle on the 28th. It crossed Florida and southeastern Georgia, and became extratropical off the coast of North Carolina on the 29th. The storm lost its identity shortly thereafter.

Tropical Storm Four

Infobox hurricane small
name=Tropical Storm Four
category=storm
type=tropical storm



formed=October 17 1907
dissipated=October 20 1907
highest winds=50 mph
lowest pressure=Unknown
A tropical storm was first observed to the southwest of Bermuda on October 17. It moved eastward then northeastward, reaching winds of 50 mph before becoming extratropical on the 19th.

Tropical Storm Five

Infobox hurricane small
name=Tropical Storm Five
category=storm
type=tropical storm



formed=November 6 1907
dissipated=November 12 1907
highest winds=Unknown
lowest pressure=Unknown
The final storm of the season was first observed a few hundred miles to the southwest of the Azores on November 6. It initially moved south-southwestward, though turned to the west on the 7th and to the northwest on the 8th. After moving to the north-northwest for several days, the storm turned to the northeast, and became extratropical on the 12th.

Note: NOAA made an error with the track map in the infobox. It says the storm formed in October, though in actuality it formed in November.

Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) Ranking

The table on the right shows the ACE for each storm in the season. The ACE is, broadly speaking, a measure of the power of the hurricane multiplied by the length of time it existed for, so hurricanes that lasted a long time have higher ACEs.

The 1907 season was not very active in terms of ACE, with no storms reaching a value of more than 10 104 kt2. This was because all of the storms in the season never reached hurricane status. The total ACE for the 1907 season was 13, the lowest of the decade.
