The name Kyle has been used for three tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean since 1996, the year in which Kyle replaced Klaus on the rotating six-year cycle of names used in the North Atlantic basin.

  • Tropical Storm Kyle (1996) – formed in the western Caribbean and made landfall over Guatemala and Honduras as a weakening storm, causing no significant damage.
  • Hurricane Kyle (2002) – fourth longest-lived Atlantic storm, bobbed in and out of the Carolinas, causing $5 million damage, mostly from tornadoes.
  • Hurricane Kyle (2008) – formed north of Hispaniola and made landfall in Nova Scotia as a minimal hurricane.

The name Kyle has also been used for two tropical cyclones in the Western Pacific Ocean.
