In the 21st century, 80 tropical and subtropical cyclones, their remnants, and their precursors have affected the U.S. state of Florida. Collectively, cyclones in Florida during the time period resulted in more than $236 billion in damage and 615 deaths. Every year included at least one tropical cyclone affecting the state. During the 2004 season, more than one out of every five houses in the state received damage.[1] After Wilma in 2005, it would be 11 years until another hurricane would strike the state, Hermine in 2016. The following year, Irma in 2017, was the first major hurricane to strike the state in 12 years.
The strongest hurricane to hit the state during the time period was Hurricane Michael, which was a Category 5 on the Saffir–Simpson scale, the highest category on the scale. Michael was the strongest hurricane to strike the contiguous United States since Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Additionally, hurricanes Charley, Jeanne, Dennis, Wilma, Irma, Ian, Idalia, Helene, and Milton made landfall on the state as major hurricanes.

- September 30, 2019 – Large swells and rip currents generated by Hurricane Lorenzo killed a man in Vero Beach.[175][176]
- October 18, 2019 – Former Tropical Storm Nestor transitioned into an extratropical cyclone and struck the Florida panhandle, causing storm surge flooding along the coast. Rainfall in the state reached 7.77 in (197 mm) in Pinellas County, resulting in street flooding. Nestor spawned at least three tornadoes in the state and left about 10,000 people without power.[177]
2020–present
edit2020
edit- May 13–14 – The precursor of Tropical Storm Arthur produced heavy rainfall across southern Florida, which resulted in an injury in Hollywood when the rains caused a ceiling to collapse.[178]
- May 25–27 – The precursor of Tropical Storm Bertha dropped heavy rainfall, with a 24-hour total of 7.4 in (190 mm) in Miami; this was more than double the previous daily rainfall record.[179] The rains flooded homes and roadways, especially in close proximity to canals.[180] The storm caused the planned Crew Dragon Demo-2 launch from Cape Canaveral to be canceled.[181]
- June 6–7 – While moving northward through the Gulf of Mexico, Tropical Storm Cristobal spawned six tornadoes in Florida, including an EF1 tornado near Orlando that damaged 42 homes and buildings.[182][183]
- July 6 – The precursor low to Tropical Storm Fay moved ashore the Florida Gulf Coast, later developing into a tropical storm off the east coast of the United States.[184]
- July 22 – Rip currents from Hurricane Hanna killed a swimmer in Sandestin Beach along the Gulf Coast.[185]
- August 1–3 – Tropical Storm Isaias paralleled the east coast of Florida, dropping substantial amounts of rainfall and causing power outages to about 3,000 people in South Florida. Although the NHC issued hurricane warnings, the core of the storm remained offshore, and the peak wind gusts were 58 mph (93 km/h) in Dania Beach.[186]
- August 23–24 – Hurricane Marco dropped heavy rainfall on the Florida Panhandle, reaching 11.81 in (300 mm) in Apalachicola, causing some flooding.[187]
- August 26 – A strong squall from Tropical Storm Laura bought strong, gusty winds to Key West, causing sporadic damage. High surf and rip currents from the storm also caused a first responder to drown in St. George Island while trying to save two other swimmers.[188]
- September 10–15 – Hurricane Sally slowly moved ashore southern Alabama, producing peak wind gusts of 92 mph (148 km/h) in Pensacola. The city also recorded a 5.6 ft (1.7 m) storm surge, which was the third-highest water level there after Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and the 1926 Miami hurricane. Sally dropped torrential rainfall across where it moved ashore, reaching 22.5 in (570 mm) near Pensacola. The rains and the storm surge caused significant flooding, resulting in hundreds of rescues. The storm damaged or destroyed thousands of structures. Three people died in Florida related to Sally, two due to drowning and one related to carbon monoxide poisoning while using a generator indoors.[189] Damage in Escambia County alone totaled $309 million.[190]
- October 4 – Rainbands from Tropical Storm Gamma near Mexico's Yucatán peninsula also produced rainfall in Florida.[191]
- October 10 – Rip currents from Hurricane Delta killed two swimmers along the gulf coast.[192]

- November 7–9 – Tropical Storm Eta made two landfalls in Florida, bringing strong winds, storm surge, heavy rainfall, and flash flooding to much of the state.[194]
2021
edit- July 5–6 – Tropical Storm Elsa – Elsa then accelerated northward, and it made landfall in Taylor County, Florida at 14:30 UTC that same day with maximum winds of about 65 mph (100 km/h).[195]
- August 15 – Tropical Storm Fred – Fred reached its peak intensity as a strong tropical storm with winds of 65 mph (105 km/h) at 18:00 UTC on August 16 shortly before making landfall a few miles southeast of Mexico Beach near Cape San Blas, Florida at a similar intensity around an hour later at 19:15 UTC.[196][197]
- September 9 – Tropical Storm Mindy – At 01:15 UTC on September 9, a combination of surface observations and radar data indicated that Mindy had attained a peak intensity with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph (97 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 1,000 millibars (30 inHg); as it made landfall on St. Vincent Island, Florida. These radar observations along with velocity data depicted Mindy with a well-defined circulation and spiral banding upon landfall. Over the next few hours, Mindy pushed inland across Florida's Big Bend region, skirting to the south of Tallahassee.
2022
edit- June 2–6 – The precursor system to Tropical Storm Alex caused flash flooding in South Florida, inflicting moderate damage to the area.
- September 26–30 – Hurricane Ian passed through Florida throughout late September 2022. Ian first went over Dry Tortugas National Park in the Florida Keys as a Category 3 storm on September 26 and 27. Ian rapidly intensified to a Category 5 storm before making landfall at Cayo Costa, Fort Myers Beach, Fort Myers and Punta Gorda as a high-end Category 4 storm, respectively. Ian killed 72 people in Lee County (the Fort Myers area) and nine in Charlotte County (the Punta Gorda area), and brought massive storm surge to Southwestern Florida, where over 1 million people lost electricity. Its outer bands caused damage near Miami, where tornadoes were reported. Ian's persistent high winds and torrential rains also caused substantial and widespread damage to inland Central and Northeastern Florida as it crossed the peninsula. Although the system had weakened to tropical storm strength by the time it neared the Atlantic coast, a wind gust of 96 mph (154 km/h) was recorded in New Smyrna Beach.[198]
- November 10 – Hurricane Nicole made landfall at 08:00 UTC on November 10 just south of Vero Beach on North Hutchinson Island as a low-end Category 1 storm with winds of 75 mph (121 km/h), becoming the first tropical cyclone to make landfall along the east coast of Florida at hurricane strength since Hurricane Katrina in 2005. As well, Nicole became only the third November hurricane to make landfall in Florida on record, alongside the 1935 Yankee hurricane and Hurricane Kate in 1985.[199]
2023
edit- June 1–3 – The remnants of Tropical Storm Arlene brought severe thunderstorms to South Florida, causing minor damage to the region.[200]
- August 30 – Hurricane Idalia made landfall near Keaton Beach in the Big Bend region as a Category 3 storm with sustained winds of 115 mph (185 km/h), causing significant flooding and wind damage to the area.[201] Storm surge near Cedar Key reached up to 8.9 feet (2.7 m),[202] while locations further south near Tampa Bay and Clearwater experienced over 3 ft (0.91 m) of storm surge.[203] Four people were killed in the state, with two of the fatalities occurring from traffic accidents as a result of the hazardous conditions. [204][205][206][207]
- September 13 – Rip currents from distant Hurricane Lee killed a teenager in Fernandina Beach.[208]
2024
edit- August 5 – Hurricane Debby made landfall near peak intensity as a Category 1 hurricane with sustained winds of 80 mph (130 km/h) near Steinhatchee in the Big Bend region, 17 miles (27 km) from where Hurricane Idalia struck a year prior. Five fatalities were reported in the state after the passage of the storm, three of which occurred in traffic-related accidents.[209][210][211][212][213]
- September 26 – Hurricane Helene made landfall at peak intensity near the mouth of the Aucilla River southwest of Perry as a Category 4 hurricane with sustained winds of 140 mph (220 km/h), becoming the strongest tropical cyclone to make landfall in the Big Bend region on record, as well as the third hurricane to make landfall in the area within a 13 month time period.[214][215] Due to the large size of the storm, damaging winds and flooding impacted much of Florida's gulf coast. In areas closer to the Big Bend such as Steinhatchee, storm surge reached up to 9.63 feet (2.94 m), while areas as far south as Key West experienced storm surge of 1 to 3 feet (0.30 to 0.91 m).[216][217] In total, around 1.3 million people lost power in the state, and 26 fatalities were reported.[218][219][220]
- October 9 – Hurricane Milton made landfall near Siesta Key as a Category 3 hurricane with sustained winds of 120 mph (195 km/h), becoming the second major hurricane to strike Florida in under a two-week period.[221] The storm brought significant flooding and damaging winds to much of the state. Up to 13 in (330 mm) of rain fell in Plant City, while wind gusts of up to 107 mph (172 km/h) were observed in Sarasota.[222][223] Storm surge of 5 to 10 feet was recorded from Naples to Siesta Key, including Charlotte Harbor.[224] Milton's outer rainbands also produced an extensive tornado outbreak across southern and central Florida, with a deadly tornado striking areas near Fort Pierce.[225][226] In total, over 3 million people lost power in the state, multiple days-long boil water notices were launched throughout the Tampa Bay area, Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg lost its roof, and 32 fatalities were reported.[227][228][229][230][231]
- November 9–10 — Hurricane Rafael churned up rip currents across much of the Floridian Southern coastline.[232] The outer bands of the storm would bring impacts towards the Florida Keys, with 2 in (51 mm) of reported rainfall and gusts up to 53 mph (85 km/h).[233]
- November 20–21 — The remnants of Tropical Storm Sara associated with a cold front dropped moisture along the coast of Southwest Florida and the Keys, the associated cold front brought cold weather across much of the state.[234]
