2013 Northern Zendari hurricane season

The 2013 Northern Zendari hurricane season was a slightly below-average and relatively costly season, featuring 10 named storms, of which 6 became hurricanes, and 3 major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher). Theoretically lasting from May 1 to December 31, the season had its first named storm on July 9 with Ashley. The season lasted through December 24 with Jojo's dissipation.

The most significant storms of the season, Emma (Category 4) and Hugo (Category 5), caused most of the damage and fatalities. Emma hit Bandiaterra, Kydziya and Alotraxia as a strong Category 4 in September, while Hugo, an exceptional November Category 5, went through explosive intensification, causing storm surge in southern Wallica, before following Yuvia's northwestern coastline, causing heavy damage. It additionally battered Zamolodchikova as a Category 1 storm.

Other noticeable hurricanes include Ashley and Iowa.

Storm names
The following names were used for named storms that formed in Northern Zendari in 2013. Most names in this list were previously used in 2007, year in which no names got retired. The names Emma and Iowa were used for the first time this season.

Retirement
In January 2014, the IZMO decided at its annual meeting to retire three names, that shall never be used to name tropical cyclones in Northern Zendari again:


 * Emma, which caused extensive damage and fatalities in Bandiaterra, Kydziya and Alotraxia.
 * Hugo, a very costly storm which caused a high number of fatalities in Yuvia, as well as floodings in southern Wallica and power outages in Zamolodchikova.
 * Iowa, which smashed the coasts of Kydziya and Alotraxia, still reeling from Emma.

The name Ashley was also considered to be retired this year due to material damage caused in Moo (as a tropical storm), but was discarded because of the lack of fatalities.

These names shall be replaced by Eves, Hank and Imogen in the 2019 season.
