Timeline of recent events[edit]

Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale

Season Effects[edit]

This is a table of the storms in 2012 and their landfall(s), if any; the table does not include storms that did not make landfall, which is defined as the center of the storm moving over a landmass. Deaths in parentheses are additional and indirect (an example of an indirect death would be a traffic accident), but are still storm-related. Damage and deaths include totals while the storm was extratropical or a wave or low.

Storm names[edit]

The following names will be used for named storms that form in the North Atlantic in 2012. Retired names, if any, will be announced by the World Meteorological Organization in the spring of 2013. The names not retired from this list will be used again in the 2018 season. Names that were not used are marked in gray, and names in bold are storms currently active. This is the same list used in the 2006 season. If there are more than 21 named storms (the 21st being William) then any more tropical storm-strength systems will be named with the Greek alphabet, starting with Alpha. This has only occurred once, in 2005.
