The only time there have been five simultaneous storms, tropical storms or tropical depressions in the Atlantic was in 1971.
According to CNN, the five weather patterns are Typhoon Paulette, Typhoon Sally, Tropical Storm Teddy, Tropical Storm Vicky and Tropical Depression Rene.
Typhoon Paulette made landfall early on September 14 in Bermuda. On 15 September, although Paulette is currently moving away from Bermuda, the storm's circulation is still affecting the island. Strong winds, high tides and huge rainfall may continue throughout the afternoon.
The Paulette rains are affecting parts of the Leeward Islands, Greater Antilles, Bahamas and the US, which could lead to extensive damage to people and property, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said.
Paulette is also expected to continue to strengthen as it moves into the Atlantic, with winds of at least 178km/h on September 16. If this happens, Paulette will be the second strongest storm of this year's hurricane season. The Atlantic hurricane season typically has a total of three major hurricanes.
Tropical Depression Rene, which was a tropical storm last weekend, will continue to weaken as it moves across the central Atlantic. The storm is not expected to affect any land and is also expected to dissipate within the next two days.
Hurricane Sally is currently heading northwest across the Gulf of Mexico. Compulsory evacuations have been carried out for low-lying areas along the Gulf coast.
Currently, Sally is forecast to make landfall somewhere near the Louisiana-Mississippi state border on September 15 or 16.
The NHC warns that typhoon Sally causes life-threatening high tides and flash floods. In addition to high tides, extremely heavy rain is also forecast in some locations.
Tropical storm Teddy is currently in the central Atlantic, expected to strengthen over the next few days.
Tropical Storm Vicky has now passed through the eastern Atlantic, expected to weaken to a low pressure area by the night of September 15, and then dissipate on September 18.
