List of storms named Edna

Last updated January 23, 2025

The name Edna has been used to name seven tropical cyclones worldwide. Three in the Atlantic Ocean, one in the Western Pacific Ocean, one in the Southwest Indian Ocean, and two in the Australian region.

Atlantic Ocean

Hurricane Edna (1953) – a Category 3 hurricane that impacted Bermuda
Hurricane Edna (1954) – a deadly and destructive Category 3 hurricane that impacted the Eastern Coast of the United States
Tropical Storm Edna (1968) – churned over the Central Atlantic

Due to the 1954 hurricane's severity, the U.S. Weather Bureau removed the name Edna from the tropical system naming lists for 10 years. The name Edna replaced the name Ethel following the 1964 season when the U.S. Weather Bureau dropped the name Ethel from the rotating tropical system naming lists. The name Edna was permanently retired following the 1968 season due to the 1954 hurricane being an active subject of research at the time.

The 1964 Atlantic hurricane season featured the highest number of U.S.-landfalling hurricanes since 1933. The season officially began on June 15, and lasted until November 30. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin. The season was above average, with thirteen named storms, seven hurricanes, and five major hurricanes. The first system, an unnamed tropical storm, developed on June 2, almost two weeks before the official start of the season. Striking Florida on June 6, the storm brought localized flooding to portions of Cuba and the Southeastern United States, leaving about $1 million in damage. The next storm, also unnamed, developed near the end of July; it did not impact land.
