In 2023, hurricane Idalia – a hurricane of category 3 – made landfall in the United States. Just three years earlier, the North American country had seen the record number of hurricanes to hit the nation in one year. Despite the lower number of hurricanes, 2021 tied with 2002 for the highest number of tropical storms to hit the U.S. in one year, with six occurrences. Tropical storms are cyclones with a wind speed surpassing 39 miles per hour but below the hurricane threshold of 74 miles per hour.
