The 2013 Atlantic Hurricane season is an extreme above-average season with 5 storms reported. The season began on June 1, 2013 with the formation of Tropical Storm Amanda. Hurricane Daniel is the latest hurricane reported and the last of a series of 4 Category 5, 4, and 3 hurricanes. This super-ferocious storm will impact the US East Coast with winds up to 160 mph (260 km/h), before heading north and becoming an extra-tropical hurricane and steering towards Europe.
On June 1, a tropical wave near the African West Coast was starting to become closely monitored by NOAA. The next day, it became more concentrated as it reached the Canary Islands as a depression and it quickly intensified into a tropical storm, and was given the name Amanda. Amanda dropped 600mm of rain water on the islands and affected them with 60 mph (95 kph) winds before moving out into an area of vertical wind shear in the Mid-Atlantic and dissipating on June 3.
