The 1969 Atlantic hurricane season had the highest number of systems reach hurricane status – twelve – in a single Atlantic hurricane season, until that record was surpassed in 2005. The hurricane season officially began on June 1, and lasted until November 30. It was the busiest Atlantic hurricane season since 1933. Activity began with a series of five tropical depressions, the first of which developed on May 29. The third system in that series, Tropical Depression Seven, caused extensive flooding in Cuba and Jamaica in early June. The final in the series formed on July 25, the same day that Tropical Storm Anna developed. Neither the former or latter caused significant impact on land. Later in the season, Tropical Depression Twenty-Nine caused severe local flooding in the Florida Panhandle and southwestern Georgia in September. Hurricane Blanche was a small and short-lived tropical cyclones in mid-August that resulted in minimal effects.
