A subtropical cyclone is a cyclone with winds equivalent to a tropical storm, but without all the characteristics of a tropical cyclone. Such storms are usually weak, short-lived, form at mid-latitudes, and rarely affect land.[1]

In the Atlantic Ocean, subtropical storms often form, with an average rate of one per few seasons.[1] Since they started being tracked in the 1960s, there have been 31 of them.[2] Subtropical storms started being named as a part of the regular season in 2002, though they were briefly given names from a different list in the 1970s.[1]

This list does not include any subtropical cyclones that became tropical storms or hurricanes.
