It officially began on June 1, 2000, and lasted until November 30, 2000. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin.

The most notable storm of the season was Hurricane Keith, which caused numerous fatalities and large amounts of damage in Belize, Nicaragua and Honduras. The precursor disturbance to Tropical Storm Leslie produced severe flooding in south Florida, causing nearly $1 billion in damage (2005 USD). In addition, Hurricane Alberto was one of the longest-lived Atlantic tropical cyclones.
