The 1922 Atlantic hurricane season officially began on June 1, 1922, and lasted until November 30, 1922. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin.
The 1922 season was a quiet one, with only four tropical cyclones forming during the course of the season. The first was a tropical storm that passed over the Yucatán Peninsula and later made another landfall in rural northeast Mexico. The second was a hurricane, the strongest one of the season. It formed near Cape Verde and curved out into the Atlantic. It grazed the Leeward Islands and battered Bermuda, passing just offshore as a Category 4. The hurricane became extratropical soon after it passed Bermuda. The third was a tropical storm that passed over Cuba and made landfall near Pensacola, Florida. The last storm of the season was a Category 2 hurricane that made landfall near Cancún, Mexico. The hurricane weakened in the Bay of Campeche and dissipated just offshore.

As the center of this hurricane passed Bermuda to the southeast, a lull occurred on the island for an hour around 9 am on September 21. The lowest pressure measured was 968 hPa/28.57 inches. Significant damage occurred there, as winds peaked at 120 mph. It was Bermuda's highest tide since the hurricane of 1899. (Tucker, Beware the Hurricane)
