Summary by weather type

edit

Winter storms and cold waves

edit

A cold wave from late December 2017 persists into early January 2018. Between both years, 39 people die.[1][2][3] Several records due to the cold are broken as a result, and the January 2018 North American blizzard is fueled. The blizzard results in 22 deaths. There is also $1.1 billion in damages.[4] The storm was dubbed a historic bomb cyclone.[5] Following a tranquil February, winter weather resumes in March. The March 1–3, 2018 nor'easter was the most destructive of those. Over 1.9 million people lose power,[6]`with 9 dead and $2.25 billion in damage.[7] another nor'easter a few days later causes 2 deaths and $525 million in damage.[4] A final nor'easter rode up the East Coast two weeks later. It caused a tornado outbreak. This included an EF3 tornado that destroyed Jacksonville State University in Alabama.[8] It also caused near-record spring snowfall along the Northeastern United States.[9] Then, in April, a cold wave caused Iowa and Wisconsin to have their coldest April on record.[10] In mid-November, a winter storm across the United States caused 11 deaths,[11] one of the worst traffic jams in New York City,[12] and 555 car crashes in New Jersey.[13][12] A few weeks later, another blizzard kills 4 more people.[14] After that, another winter storm caused 3 more deaths in North Carolina.[15]

Floods

In late February 2018, the Ohio River had its highest crest since 1997.[16] Six people die in the flooding.[17]

2018 was relatively quiet in terms of tornadoes, and for the first time in history, no EF4 or EF5 tornadoes touched down in the United States.[18] However, the state of Connecticut saw a record number of tornadoes.[19] The first major tornado outbreak of 2018 came on February 24. This tornado outbreak caused two deaths[20][21] and 20 injuries from 30 tornadoes. This became the first tornado related death in the United States in 284 days, ending a record long streak.[22] A few days later, a tornado outbreak strikes the United States from March 20 to 22nd. An EF3 tornado struck Jacksonville State University, causing $42 million[23] and forcing 9,000 people to go without power.[24] A month later, another tornado outbreak affects the United States in mid-April. An EF1 tornado in April in Louisiana caused one death.[25][26] An EF2 tornado in North Carolina also caused a fatality, but an indirect one.[27][28] A month later, another tornado outbreak produces an EF0 tornado in Newburgh, New York that results in a death.[29] The storm itself causes 5 more deaths as a result of straight-line winds.[30] Before that, on May 14, the storm also produced tornadoes across Kansas.[31]

On June 12, an F4 tornado touches down in Brazil, killing two.[32] On July 10 another fatal EF2 touched down, this time in Minot, North Dakota. One newborn baby is killed and 28 others are injured.[33] Nine days later, destructive tornadoes tore across Iowa, causing $320 million in damage, and 37 injuries.[34][35] It also fuels the Table Rock Lake duck boat accident, which kills 17 and injures 7 in Missouri.[36] On August 3, an EF4 touched down in Manitoba, becoming North America's only violent tornado of the year, and killing one person.[37][38] The remnants of Hurricane Florence spawned a fatal tornado in Virginia.[39] The tornado outbreak as a whole spawned 37 other tornadoes. Just a few days later, the 2018 United States–Canada tornado outbreak causes damage in the Midwestern United States and especially in Ontario and Quebec. Before crossing into Canada, Minnesota had its third most prolific tornado day on record.[40][41] 300,000 customers in the Ottawa area lost power.[42] The tornadoes cause $295 million in damage and injure 31.[43]

In late October and early November, another tornado outbreak occurs, spawning 61 tornadoes. There is one indirect death due to an EF1 in Mississippi,[44] and two direct deaths due to an EF1 tornado in Maryland.[45] Just a few days later, another fatal tornado touches down in Tennessee.[46] A tornado outbreak then started at the end of the month and continued into December, which spawned 49 tornadoes, including an EF3 in Illinois that injured 22.[47] Another tornado death occurs due to an EF1 in Missouri.[48] Two weeks later, the 2018 Port Orchard tornado touches down in Port Orchard, Washington. The tornado caused $1.81 million in damage.[49] Finally, on December 31, a child dies in a tornado in Indonesia.[50]

Tropical cyclones

As the year began, a tropical depression was moving across the Philippines,[51] and Cyclone Ava was developing northeast of Madagascar.[52] Ava caused at least 51 deaths and US$195 million in damage, and was followed by 13 additional tropical cyclones in the south-west Indian Ocean.[53][54][55] In the Australian region, there were 27 tropical cyclones, including Cyclone Marcus, a powerful cyclone that caused US$75 million in damage in Western Australia.[54][55][56] In the South Pacific Ocean, there were 15 tropical cyclones during the year, including Cyclone Gita, the most intense tropical cyclone to impact Tonga since reliable records began.[54][55][57]

In the northern hemisphere, the western Pacific Ocean was active, with 44 tropical cyclones. The strongest typhoons were Kong-rey and Yutu, which both had 10 minute sustained winds of 215 km/h (130 mph) and a minimum pressure of 900 mbar (27 inHg).[58] In October, Yutu struck Tinian in the Northern Marianas Islands at peak intensity, making it the strongest storm on record to hit the island chain.[59] When Typhoon Jebi struck Japan in September, insured damage totaled around US$15 billion, making it the country's costliest ever typhoon.[60] In July, Tropical Storm Son-Tinh killed more than 200 people when it moved through the Philippines, China, and Vietnam, mostly related to a dam collapse in Laos.[61] In December, Tropical Depression Usman moved through the Philippines, killing 156 people and leaving ₱5.41 billion (US$103 million) in damage.[62] In the north Indian Ocean, there were 14 tropical cyclones, several of which affected land.[63] In May, Cyclone Sagar killed 79 people when it struck Somaliland in the Horn of Africa.[64][65][66] Cyclone Mekunu caused US$1.5 billion in damage and 31 deaths when it struck Oman.[67][68][69] Cyclone Titli killed 85 people when it struck southeastern India in October.[70]

The north-east Pacific Ocean was active, with three Category 5 hurricanes on the Saffir-Simpson scale – Lane, Walaka, and Willa.[71] Lane in August was the wettest on record in Hawaii, with peak rainfall accumulations of 58 inches (1,473 mm) causing US$250 million in damage.[72][73] In October, Walaka affected the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands,[74] and Willa struck southwestern Mexico, causing nine deaths and US$825 million in damage.[75][76][77][78] The Atlantic Ocean featured 16 tropical cyclones,[79] including Hurricane Michael in October, one of only four Category 5 hurricanes to hit the United States at that intensity. Michael struck the Florida panhandle and caused US$25.5 billion in damage as well as 74 deaths.[80] In September, Hurricane Florence caused widespread flooding after setting state precipitation records in North and South Carolina, resulting in US$24 billion in damage and 52 fatalities.[81]

In addition to the officially tracked storms, there was a Mediterranean tropical-like cyclone named Cyclone Zorbas, which struck Greece.[82]
