Friday, August 7, 1885 · 12:00 AM – 6:00 AM

The 1885 Atlantic hurricane season produced eight tropical cyclones, fifth of which made landfall in the United States. Overall, the season featured two tropical storms and six hurricanes in the Atlantic basin, none of which intensified into a major hurricane. However, in the absence of modern satellite monitoring and remote-sensing technologies, only storms that affected populated land areas or encountered ships at sea were recorded, so the actual total could be higher. An undercount bias of zero to six tropical cyclones per year between 1851 and 1885 and zero to four per year between 1886 and 1910 has been estimated. 8 storms, 6 hurricanes, 0 major hurricanes (Category 3+).
