Timeline of the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season

The 2014 Atlantic hurricane season was an event in the annual hurricane season in the north Atlantic Ocean. It featured below-average tropical cyclone activity, with the fewest named storms since the 1997 season. The season officially began on June 1, 2014 and ended on November 30, 2014. These dates, adopted by convention, historically describe the period in each year when most tropical systems form. The first system of the season, Hurricane Arthur, developed on July 1, and the last, Tropical Storm Hanna, dissipated on October 28.

Altogether, eight tropical storms formed during the season, including six hurricanes of which two intensified into major hurricanes. There was also one tropical depression that failed to reach tropical storm strength. Impact throughout the year was widespread. Arthur, which made landfall near Cape Lookout, North Carolina on July 3, with winds, was the strongest hurricane to strike the U.S. mainland since Hurricane Ike in 2008. In October, Bermuda was struck twice, as hurricanes Fay and Gonzalo made landfall only six days apart, October 12 and 18 respectively.

This timeline documents tropical cyclone formations, strengthening, weakening, landfalls, extratropical transitions, and dissipations during the season. It includes information that was not released throughout the season, meaning that data from post-storm reviews by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) has been included. The time stamp for each event is first stated using Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) the 24-hour clock where 00:00 equals midnight UTC. The NHC uses both UTC and the time zone where the center of the tropical cyclone is currently located. Time zones utilized (east to west) prior to 2020 were: Atlantic, Eastern, and Central. In this timeline, the respective area time is included in parentheses. Additionally, figures for maximum sustained winds and position estimates are rounded to the nearest 5 units (miles, or kilometers), following National Hurricane Center practice. Direct wind observations are rounded to the nearest whole number. Atmospheric pressures are listed to the nearest millibar and nearest hundredth of an inch of mercury.
