Tropical Storm Alpha formed in the Atlantic, making the 2005 hurricane season the most active on record at the time.
On October 22, 2005, Tropical Storm Alpha developed in the Atlantic Basin, becoming the 22nd named storm of what would be a record-breaking hurricane season. The unprecedented number of tropical storms strained forecasting and response resources across the Caribbean and United States. Alpha formed unusually late in the season and tracked near Hispaniola, bringing heavy rains and flooding to vulnerable communities. Although it never reached hurricane strength, Alpha's formation highlighted the season's anomalous intensity and persistence. The 2005 season ultimately set records for named storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes until the season was surpassed in 2020. Meteorologists credited warm sea surface temperatures and favorable atmospheric conditions for the extraordinary activity. The storm underscored the challenges of preparing for multiple consecutive weather threats in a single season.
