The 2016 Atlantic hurricane season is a current event in the annual tropical cyclone season in the North Hemisphere. The season officially began on June 1, 2016 and ends on November 30, dates adopted by convention that historically describe the period in each year when most systems form. The season's first storm, Hurricane Alex, developed on January 13, marking the first Atlantic hurricane to exist in January since Alice in 1955 and the first to form in the month since 1938. Upon making landfall in the Azores, Alex became the first January landfalling tropical cyclone since Alice.

This timeline includes information that was not operationally released, meaning that data from post-storm reviews by the National Hurricane Center, such as a storm that was not operationally warned upon, has been included. This timeline documents tropical cyclone formations, strengthening, weakening, landfalls, extratropical transitions, and dissipations during the season.
