High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 1977 Atlantic hurricane season had the fewest named storm since the 1965 season, with only six systems reaching winds of at least 40 mph (65 km/h). The season officially began on June 1, 1977, and lasted until November 30, 1977. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin. The first tropical depression of the season developed 2 days later, on June 3, in the western Caribbean Sea. After a succession of three other tropical depressions, the first named storm of the season, Hurricane Anita, finally became a named storm on August 29 – regarded by the National Hurricane Center as "an extremely late start".
