The Atlantic hurricane season, which officially ended Monday, produced nine named storms, including three hurricanes, during the six-month period that began June 1.

Of the three hurricanes, two were considered major, with winds of more than 110 mph.

The first named storm of the season – Tropical Storm Ana – didn’t form until mid-August, nearly three months into the hurricane season.
