The 1934 season was fairly quiet. However, it was a continuation of deadly seasons that had been going on since 1928 .

A weak June Hurricane , the 1934 Central America Hurricane , made landfall in Belize and executed a full loop over Central America . It went over the Yucatán Peninsula and made final landfall in Louisiana . Between 1,000 to 3,000 people are believed to have been killed by the storm, with over $2 million in damage in Louisiana.

Elsewhere, a Tropical Storm formed and existed entirely during the month of May, striking Everglades City, Florida and Beaufort, South Carolina and causing $155,000 in damage. A Category 1 hurricane passed over north Florida as a tropical storm and made landfall in central Texas , causing 11 casualties and $1-$2 million in damage. Another Category 1 grazed Galveston . The Extratropical remnant of a hurricane moved up the northeast coast and tropical storms struck western Alabama , and Jamaica and southern Cuba .
