High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Hurricane Nate was an Atlantic hurricane that threatened Bermuda but remained at sea during early September 2005. The fourteenth named storm and seventh hurricane of the 2005 season, Hurricane Nate formed to the 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 the south on September 8 as a Category 1 hurricane. After moving away from the island, wind shear increased and the storm moved into cooler waters, causing it to weaken into a tropical storm before becoming extratropical on September 10. The storm was later absorbed by a larger weather system.
