The 1890 season was fairly inactive, with only four storms forming. Two became hurricanes, two were tropical storms. However, due to scarce technology and the fact that only storms that affected land or ships were recorded, the actual total could be higher.

Tropical Storm One
The season began unusually early, on May 27. This storm formed directly below Cuba, and went north across it with 50 mph (80 km/h) winds. It dissipated soon after leaving Cuban land on May 29.
Tropical Storm Two
The season continued with the second storm forming very close to the west coast of the Lesser Antilles on August 18. It continued west-northwest, and hit near the northeastern tip of the Yucatán Peninsula with 50 mph (80 km/h) winds. It continued north and hit the southeastern part of Louisiana. It continued up into Mississippi, where it dissipated on August 28.
Hurricane Three
The next storm formed on August 26. It formed to the northeast of the Lesser Antilles, and continued northwest. When it got to a position northeast of the Bahamas, it reached a peak of 115 mph winds, turned northwest and headed toward Nova Scotia. It traveled right over the southeastern coast of Nova Scotia, causing ship damage and fatalities. It then continued on its northeast path, and dissipated on September 3. It caused 9 deaths from a boat sinking.
Hurricane Four
The last storm formed to the east of Nicaragua on October 31. It traveled west, and hit Nicaragua with 80 mph (129 km/h) winds.
