Hurricane Stan developed as a depression to the east of the Yucatan Peninsula on the October 1, reaching tropical storm strength before tracking across the Yucatan on the 2nd. Stan emerged into the Bay of Campeche on the 3rd and reached hurricane strength the next day. Stan came ashore to the southeast of Veracruz, Mexico at Punta Roca Partida on the 4th with maximum sustained winds near 130 km/hr (70 knots or 80 mph). Stan produced massive amounts of rain (250-400 mm/~10-15 inches) that caused widespread flooding and mudslides that killed 23 people in Mexico, Nicaragua and Honduras, and 69 in El Salvador. The hardest-hit area was Guatemala, where as many as 2,000 people were killed (Reuters/AFP/USAID).
Tropical Storm Tammy developed just off the U.S. Florida east coast on the 5th, coming inland near Jacksonville with maximum sustained winds near 85 km/hr (45 knots or 50 mph). The primary impact from Tammy was heavy rainfall across Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas.
Hurricane Vince developed from a non-tropical low-pressure system that acquired tropical characteristics on the 9th approximately 225 km (140 miles) northwest of the Madeira Islands. Vince weakened into a tropical depression before landfall near Huelva, Spain at 0900 UTC on the 11th. Winds at Jerez De La Frontera gusted to 81 km/hr (51 mph) as the depression came ashore. This was the first documented tropical depression to ever make lanfall in Spain.
Hurricane Wilma developed as a depression to the southeast of the Cayman Islands on the 15th. Wilma reached tropical storm status on the 17th and hurricane strength the next day. With the formation of Hurricane Wilma, the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season tied the record for the most named storms for any season (21 storms in 1933), and also tied the record for the most hurricanes in a single season (12 in 1969). Wilma peaked at category-5 intensity on the 19th, with a minimum central pressure falling to 882 millibars (26.05 inches of mercury), the lowest pressure ever recorded in the Atlantic Basin. Wilma also became the most rapidly-intensifying storm on record, with a maximum-sustained surface wind speed increase of 169 km/hr (105 mph) in a 24-hour period (NOAA/NHC). Wilma was located about 275 km (170 miles) south-southeast of Cozumel, Mexico on the 20th with maximum sustained winds near 230 km/hr (125 knots or 145 mph).

El huracán Vince, que se formó el domingo cerca de la isla portuguesa de Madeira, se encontraba la pasada madrugada en "fase agónica" y se esperaba que desapareciera sobre el mar, según informó el jefe de predicción del Instituto Nacional de Meteorología, Ángel Rivera.
Según una nota informativa emitida el lunes por el Instituto Nacional de Meteorología (INM), "Vince", actualmente tormenta tropical, tocará Portugal hoy a mediodía con vientos de entre 70 y 80 kilómetros por hora y lluvias localmente intensas, tras lo que pasará a España. 
El huracán "Vince" se formó el domingo tras una evolución muy rápida de una tormenta tropical y se trata de un fenómeno "muy inusual" dado que la zona de Madeira no es proclive al desarrollo de este tipo de perturbaciones, explicó el INM.  
El "Vince" es un fenómeno distinto al paso de restos de ciclones tropicales convertidos en borrascas extra-tropicales que a veces afectan a la península ibérica, añadió. 
El Centro de Huracanes de Miami, responsable de la predicción y vigilancia de estos fenómenos para el área del Atlántico, prevé que la perturbación -que alcanzó nivel uno de un máximo de cinco en la escala Saffir-Simpson- se dirija hacia la península Ibérica mientras que se debilita "rápidamente". 
Según las predicciones, "no parece que exista riesgo" de que se produzcan fenómenos "de carácter extremo". 
Amenaza para la navegación Según anunció el Servicio Nacional de Bomberos y Protección Civil de Portugal (SNBPC) "Vince" no constituye motivo de alarma, aunque si puede representar una amenaza para la navegación, según el Centro Nacional de Huracanes estadounidense, con sede en Miami.

El huracán "Vince", que se encuentra en el Atlántico próximo a la Isla de Madeira, ha llegado esta mañana a la Península Ibérica. Sin embargo, desde el Instituto Nacional de Meteorología (INM) han anunciado que el huracán se ha debilitado considerablemente y no se espera que se produzcan fenómenos extremos. Según han informado expertos del INM, Castilla y León, Extremadura y Galicia serán algunas de las comunidades más afectadas con vientos de 60 a 80 kilómetros por hora. 
"Vince" comenzó su andadura el pasado domingo en la isla de Madeira, algo inusual, ya que según los expertos, ésta no es una zona geográfica no es proclive al desarrollo de este tipo de perturbaciones.
Los restos del "Vince", ya convertidos en tormenta tropical, entrarán en Portugal al mediodía, con precipitaciones que pueden ser localmente intensas y vientos de 70 u 80 kilómetros por hora. En cualquier caso, el INM ya ha confirmando que no existe ningún riesgo de que se desarrollen fenómenos de carácter extremo.
