Last updated August 18, 2024

The name Anna has been used for five tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean, as well as one in the Northwest Pacific Ocean and one in the South-West Indian Ocean.

Atlantic Ocean:

Hurricane Anna (1956), short-lived minimal hurricane that struck south of Tampico, Mexico
Hurricane Anna (1961), Category 2 hurricane that moved through the Caribbean Sea; caused one death and moderate damage in Central America
Hurricane Anna (1965), fast-tracking hurricane across the northeastern Atlantic Ocean; extratropical remnants dissipated near Ireland
Tropical Storm Anna (1969), long-lived tropical storm tracking from the tropical Atlantic Ocean to south of Nova Scotia
Tropical Storm Anna (1976), tracked across the northeastern Atlantic Ocean; its remnants executed a counter-clockwise loop near the Azores

Northwest Pacific Ocean:

Tropical Storm Anna (1947) (T4701), short-lived tropical storm that struck Mindanao

South-West Indian Ocean:

Tropical Storm Anna (1960) – a weak tropical storm that remained far out to sea.

During 2005, tropical cyclones formed within seven different tropical cyclone basins, located within various parts of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. During the year, a total of 141 systems formed with 94 of these developing further and were named by the responsible warning centre. The strongest tropical cyclone of the year was Hurricane Wilma, which was estimated to have a minimum barometric pressure of 882 hPa (26.05 inHg). 2005 was above-average in terms of the number of storms. The most active basin in the year was the North Atlantic, which documented 28 named systems. The Western Pacific had an near-average season with 23 named storms. The Eastern Pacific hurricane season experienced an above-average number of tropical storm intensity systems, numbering 15. Activity across the southern hemisphere's three basins – South-West Indian, Australian, and South Pacific – was fairly significant, with the regions recording 23 named storms altogether, with the most intense Southern Hemisphere cyclone of the year, Cyclone Percy from the South Pacific Ocean basin peaking at 145 mph (235 km/h) and 900 millibars. Throughout the year, 28 Category 3 tropical cyclones formed, including eight Category 5 tropical cyclones in the year. The accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) index for the 2005, as calculated by Colorado State University was 899.6 units.

During 1993, tropical cyclones formed within seven different bodies of water called basins. To date, 110 tropical cyclones formed, of which 78 were given names by various weather agencies. Only one Category 5 tropical cyclone was formed in 1993. The accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) index for the 1993, as calculated by Colorado State University was 710.4 units.
