The 1933 Atlantic hurricane season officially began on June 1, 1933, and lasted until November 30, 1933. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin.
The 1933 season is the second most-active hurricane season on record, with 21 recorded tropical cyclones forming during the season. 1933 held the record for the most active Atlantic season for 72 years until the 2005 season broke the record with 28 storms.
It is important to note, however, that prior to the 1960s, inaccuracies were inevitable since storms or depressions that did not approach populated land or shipping lanes, especially those of relatively short duration, were likely to remain undetected without today's technology (such as satellite monitoring). As a result, there may have been several more storms in the eastern and central Atlantic.
