Hurricane Nate was a tropical cyclone that threatened Bermuda but remained at sea during early September 2005. The fourteenth named storm and seventh hurricane of the annual Atlantic hurricane season, Nate formed southwest of Bermuda on September 5 and initially moved very slowly to the northeast. Early forecasts suggested a possible threat to the island, but Nate passed well to its south as a Category 1 hurricane on September 8. After moving away from the island, the storm entered a region with cooler sea surface temperatures and unfavorable wind shear, causing it to weaken to a tropical storm before becoming extratropical on September 10. The extratropical remnant was later absorbed by a larger weather system. Category 1 hurricane: peak winds of 90 mph (80 knots), lowest pressure 979 mb. September 5 – September 12, 2005. Accumulated cyclone energy: 7.2. Wiki link Track: NOAA National Hurricane Center, HURDAT2 best track AL152005 (public domain).
