The name Colin has been used for two tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean and two in the Southern Hemisphere.

In the Atlantic Ocean:

  • Tropical Storm Colin (2010), moved across the Atlantic, fluctuating between tropical depression and tropical storm status. Dissipated before reaching Bermuda.
  • Tropical Storm Colin (2016), earliest third-storm formation in the Atlantic Ocean since record-keeping began, beating the previous record set in 1887 by 7 days. Made landfall in Florida causing significant damage.
  • In the Southwest Pacific Ocean:

  • Cyclone Colin (1976), moved parallel to the Australian coast without making landfall.
  • In the Southwest Indian Ocean:

  • Cyclone Colin (2014), churned through the open ocean, never threatened land.
