The '''1892 Atlantic hurricane season''' included the last [[tropical cyclone]] on [[HURDAT|record]] to pass through the [[Cape Verde|Cabo Verde Islands]] at [[hurricane]] intensity until [[Hurricane Fred (2015)|2015]]. A total of nine [[tropical storm]]s developed, five of which strengthened into a hurricane, though none of them became a major hurricane.{{refn|A major hurricane is a storm that ranks as Category 3 or higher on the [[Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale]].<ref name="ACE">{{cite report|work=[[Hurricane Research Division]]; [[Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory]]|publisher=[[National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration]]|date=April 2023|title=North Atlantic Hurricane Basin (1851-2022) Comparison of Original and Revised HURDAT|access-date=March 17, 2024|url=http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/comparison_table.html|location=Miami, Florida}}</ref>|group="nb"}}  However, in the absence of modern satellite and other remote-sensing technologies, only storms that affected populated land areas or encountered ships at sea were recorded, so the actual total could be higher. An undercount bias of zero to six tropical cyclones per year between 1851 and 1885 and zero to four per year between 1886 and 1910 has been estimated.<ref>{{cite book |title=Hurricanes and Typhoons: Past, Present and Future |chapter=The Atlantic hurricane database re-analysis project: Documentation for the 1851–1910 alterations and additions to the HURDAT database |last=Landsea |first=Christopher W.|editor=Murname, Richard J. |editor2=Liu, Kam-biu|year=2004|publisher=Columbia University Press |location=New York City, New York|isbn=0-231-12388-4 |pages=195|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4jC6ljADbsIC&q=1851%20to%201885%20%22four%22|accessdate=March 16, 2024}}</ref> Three tropical storms made landfall on the [[United States]].

Neither meteorologists José Fernández-Partagás and Henry F. Diaz in 1996 nor the [[Atlantic hurricane reanalysis project]] added or removed any storms during their reanalysis of the season, though the latter upgraded the eighth storm to a hurricane. A reanalysis study by climate researcher Michael Chenoweth, published in 2014, concluded that 11&nbsp;[[Atlantic hurricane|cyclones formed in the Atlantic]] in 1892. Chenoweth proposed the removal of the ninth system from the [[HURDAT|official hurricane database]] (HURDAT) and the addition to three storms. However, the changes suggested in Chenoweth's study have yet to be included in HURDAT.

On June&nbsp;9, the first storm of the season developed over the northwestern [[Caribbean Sea]]. Striking [[Cuba]] and [[Florida]], the cyclone dropped heavy precipitation in both regions. Flooding in the former rendered approximately $1.5&nbsp;million (1892&nbsp;USD) in damage and at least 16&nbsp;deaths. Two other systems struck the United States in 1892, though neither caused much impact. In October, a hurricane passed near [[Tobago]] and moved across [[Venezuela]], [[Colombia]], [[Honduras]], [[British Honduras]], and [[Mexico]], leaving damage in several regions and 17&nbsp;fatalities, 16&nbsp;of which occurred when a schooner capsized near [[Cabo Gracias a Dios]]. The ninth and final system was last noted on October&nbsp;29. Collectively, the storms of the 1892&nbsp;season inflicted at least 33&nbsp;deaths and more than $1.5&nbsp;million in damage.

The first tropical storm developed about 45&nbsp;mi (70&nbsp;km) south of [[Isla de la Juventud]] on June&nbsp;9. Initially moving northwestward, the storm made landfall later that day on the south coast of [[Pinar del Río Province]] in [[Cuba]]. The storm recurved northward and entered the [[Gulf of Mexico]] early the following morning, where it intensified and peaked with [[maximum sustained wind]]s of 50&nbsp;mph (85&nbsp;km/h). Around that time, it turned to the northeast and made landfall at 23:00&nbsp;UTC on June&nbsp;10 in northern [[Monroe County, Florida]], at the same intensity. The cyclone crossed [[Florida]] and emerged into the [[Atlantic Ocean]] near modern-day [[Deerfield Beach, Florida|Deerfield Beach]] early the following day. Thereafter, the system headed out to sea for a few days, before re-approaching the [[Southeastern United States]]. Late on June&nbsp;16, it was last noted about {{convert|80|mi|km|abbr=on}} south-southeast of [[Cape Lookout (North Carolina)|Cape Lookout]], [[North Carolina]].{{Atlantic hurricane best track}}

In Cuba, moderately gusty winds and torrential rainfall were reported from [[Santa Clara, Cuba|Santa Clara]] to [[Pinar del Río]], with the worst impact conditions being experienced in [[Matanzas]]. There, the San Juan and [[Yumurí River|Yumurí]] rivers overflowed, causing water to rise {{convert|10|ft|m|abbr=on}} above most houses. Civil guards and troops assisted rescue work and evacuation of residents.<ref name="jose"/> Furniture in 325&nbsp;houses were swept away by the floodwaters. About 450&nbsp;head of cattle drowned. Additionally, 600,000&nbsp;bags of sugar stored in warehouses were lost.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1892/06/13/page/5/article/williams-ill-will-to-bismarck|title=Great Damage by Floods in Cuba|date=June 13, 1892|newspaper=[[Chicago Tribune]]|accessdate=August 31, 2015|location=Matanzas, Cuba}}</ref> The storm left at least 16&nbsp;deaths and approximately $1.5&nbsp;million in damage.<ref name="jose">{{cite report|url=http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/Landsea/Partagas/1891-1893/1892.pdf|title=Year 1892|author=Jose Fernandez-Partagas|date=1996|work=[[Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory]]|publisher=[[National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration]]|accessdate=August 31, 2015}}</ref> The storm also brought winds and rains to Florida.

On August&nbsp;15, the steamship ''Francia'' encountered a tropical storm east of the northernmost Lesser Antilles.<ref name="jose"/> The storm initially moved westward but curved northwestward by the following day, causing it to remain north of the islands,{{Atlantic hurricane best track}} although [[Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands|Saint Thomas]] and [[Tortola]] reported thunderstorms and heavy rains. A north-northwestward motion of the storm commenced by August&nbsp;18, while the cyclone reached hurricane status on the next day.{{Atlantic hurricane best track}} During this time, the steamship ''Duart Castle'' encountered the system; rough seas caused severe damage to the ship and shifted around its cargo, injuring six people.<ref name="jose"/> The storm passed west of [[Bermuda]] between August&nbsp;19 and August&nbsp;20. Winds remained just below tropical storm-force winds on the island; a church, many trees, and lime and orange crops suffered extensive damage, however.<ref name="jose"/> The system then curved northeastward, continuing in that direction until becoming extratropical near [[Sable Island]] on August&nbsp;21. The extratropical storm hit [[Newfoundland (island)|Newfoundland]], and completely lost its identity on August 24.{{Atlantic hurricane best track}}

=== Hurricane Three ===
{{Infobox Hurricane Small
|Basin=Atl

|Formed=September 3
|Dissipated=September 17
|1-min winds=85
}}

The official track for this storm begins well southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands on September&nbsp;3, one day before being encountered by a ship.<ref name="jose"/> Initially trekking west-northwestward, the system is estimated to have intensified into a hurricane on September&nbsp;5. Strengthening further, the cyclone reached Category&nbsp;2 intensity on the modern-day [[Saffir–Simpson scale]] on September&nbsp;7, likely peaking with maximum sustained winds of 100&nbsp;mph (155&nbsp;km/h). The storm moved in a large, mostly parabolic path across the Atlantic, turning north-northwestward on September&nbsp;9, north-northeastward on September&nbsp;11, and then northeastward on September&nbsp;13. It is estimated that the cyclone weakened back to tropical storm intensity on September&nbsp;14, a day before turning east-southeastward while well north of the [[Azores]]. The storm was last noted near the [[Galicia (Spain)|Galicia]] region of [[Spain]] on September&nbsp;17.{{Atlantic hurricane best track}}

=== Tropical Storm Four ===
{{Infobox Hurricane Small
|Basin=Atl

|Formed=September 8
|Dissipated=September 13
|1-min winds=50

The track for this storm begins over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico on September&nbsp;8, when ''[[The New York Times]]'' declared that "a general disturbance appears developing", with decreasing atmospheric pressures.<ref name="jose"/> Initially moving northwestward, the storm turned northeastward on September&nbsp;10 and intensified to its estimated peak sustained winds of 60&nbsp;mph (95&nbsp;km/h). Early on September&nbsp;12, the system made landfall near [[Golden Meadow, Louisiana]], and then accelerated north-northeastward. The storm weakened inland and transitioned into an extratropical cyclone on September&nbsp;13 over [[Kentucky]]. Thereafter, the extratropical remnants of the storm crossed [[Ohio]] and eastern [[Canada]], emerging into the [[Labrador Sea]] on September&nbsp;16. By the following day, the extratropical cyclone dissipated near southern [[Greenland]].{{Atlantic hurricane best track}}

''The New York Times'' noted that nearly all weather stations across the Gulf Coast of the United States reported rainfall in association with this storm. [[Pensacola, Florida]], observed wind gusts up to {{convert|54|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}, while the extratropical remnants of the storm produced an identical measurement in [[Cleveland]], Ohio.<ref name="jose"/>

Observations indicate the presence of a tropical storm on September&nbsp;12 about {{convert|140|mi|km|abbr=on|round=5}} west-northwest of [[Dakar]], [[Senegal]]. The storm moved west-northwestward through the Capo Verde Islands without making landfall and intensified into a hurricane on the following day roughly halfway between [[São Nicolau, Cape Verde|São Nicolau]] and [[Santiago, Cape Verde|Santiago]].{{Atlantic hurricane best track}}   While crossing through the archipelago, storm surge and abnormally high tides caused several vessels to flounder. On land, the hurricane destroyed many dwellings, severely damaged plantations, and killed "a quantity of cattle", according to ''[[The Times]]''.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-times/136341591/|title=Cyclone in The Cape Verd [sic] Islands|date=October 12, 1892|page=5|newspaper=The Times|location=London, England|accessdate=December 5, 2023|via=Newspapers.com}} {{free access}}</ref> Aside from this system, [[Hurricane Fred (2015)|Hurricane Fred]] in [[2015 Atlantic hurricane season|2015]] became the only other cyclone to pass through the Capo Verde Islands as a hurricane.<ref>{{cite report|url=https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/AL062015_Fred.pdf|author=John L.

After entering the open Atlantic, the cyclone strengthened and likely peaked with winds of 100&nbsp;mph (155&nbsp;km/h) on September&nbsp;14, equivalent to a Category&nbsp;2 hurricane. The storm may have remained at this intensity for nearly a week, falling back to Category&nbsp;1 hurricane status on September&nbsp;20 as it began turning northwestward. By September&nbsp;22, the hurricane curved northeastward, several hours before falling to tropical storm intensity. The cyclone then weakened to a tropical depression late on September&nbsp;23 and was last noted about {{convert|575|mi|km|abbr=on}} west-southwest of [[Flores Island (Azores)|Flores Island]] in the [[Azores]].{{Atlantic hurricane best track}}

The sixth tropical storm of the season was a very short-lived storm that was first recorded northwest of [[Ciudad del Carmen]] on September 25. The storm travelled northwest across the [[Bay of Campeche]] before making landfall near the [[Mexico]]-[[Texas]] border, dissipating inland on September 27.{{Atlantic hurricane best track}} In the state of [[Veracruz]], the cyclone demolished over 60&nbsp;homes in Tuxtepec and many others in rural areas outside the city. The storm also inflicted extensive damage to many trees and local banana plantations. Additionally, [[Orizaba]] reported significant losses to banana, corn, rice, and tobacco crops.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Escobar Ohmstede|first1=Antonio|title=Desastres agrícolas en México: catálogo histórico (Volumen 2)|date=August 1, 2004|publisher=Centro de Investigación y Estudios Superiores en Antropología Social|isbn=9681671880|page=216|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CB5h4e_yQ7cC|language=Spanish}}</ref>

Observations suggest the presence of a tropical storm about {{convert|290|mi|km|abbr=on}} east of [[Tobago]] on October&nbsp;5.<ref name="jose"/> The storm moved generally westward and intensified into a hurricane as it passed just south of the island late the following day. Remaining over the far southern Caribbean, the hurricane passed near the [[ABC islands (Leeward Antilles)|ABC islands]] and then struck [[Península de Paraguaná|Paraguaná]] in [[Venezuela]] as a Category&nbsp;2 hurricane with winds of 100&nbsp;mph (155&nbsp;km/h) on October&nbsp;8. After briefly re-emerging into the Caribbean, the cyclone made landfall on the [[Guajira Peninsula]] several hours later. Thereafter, the system moved in a more west-northwesterly direction and then struck near [[Cabo Gracias a Dios]] on the [[Nicaragua]]&ndash;[[Honduras]] border on October&nbsp;11. The storm weakened to a Category&nbsp;1 hurricane while crossing Honduras, but re-strengthened into a Category&nbsp;2 hurricane on October&nbsp;12 after re-emerging into the Caribbean. Around 18:00&nbsp;UTC that day, the hurricane made landfall just south of [[Belize City]], [[British Honduras]]. Rapidly weakening to a tropical storm, the system soon re-strengthened into a hurricane after emerging into the [[Bay of Campeche]] about 24&nbsp;hours later. The storm re-intensified into a Category&nbsp;2 hurricane, but weakened to a Category&nbsp;1 prior to making landfall south of [[Tampico]], [[Tamaulipas]], late on October&nbsp;15. High terrain over eastern Mexico caused the system to dissipate early the next day.{{Atlantic hurricane best track}}

Heavy rainfall and strong winds lashed [[Trinidad]] on October&nbsp;6 and October&nbsp;7.

== Season effects ==
This is a table of all of the known storms that have formed in the 1892&nbsp;Atlantic hurricane season. It includes their duration, landfall, damages, and death totals. Deaths in parentheses are additional and indirect (an example of an indirect death would be a traffic accident), but were still related to that storm. Damage and deaths include totals while the storm was extratropical, a wave, or a low, and all of the damage figures are in 1892&nbsp;USD.
