High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 1951 Atlantic hurricane season was moderately active, starting with an pre-season hurricane and lasting until late October. The season officially started on June 15, when the United States Weather Bureau began its daily monitoring for tropical cyclone activity; the season officially ended on November 15. It was the first year since 1937 in which no hurricanes made landfall on the United States; as Tropical Storm How was the only tropical storm to hit the nation, the season had the least tropical cyclone damage in the United States since the 1939 season. Like the 1950 season, names from the Joint Army/Navy Phonetic Alphabet were used to name storms this season.
