Tropical Storm Philippe was a long-lived but weak and poorly organized tropical cyclone which affected the eastern Caribbean during late September and early October 2023. The sixteenth named storm of the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season,[a] Philippe formed from a tropical wave on September 23, near Cabo Verde. The storm traversed the Leeward Islands, before being absorbed into an extratropical low on October 6, south of Bermuda.
Overall wind damage was minor; there were no storm related casualties. However, heavy rainfall along its trajectory led to significant flooding and multiple mudslides, especially across Guadeloupe, and Antigua and Barbuda. Bermuda had minor impacts from Philippe's strong winds and rain. Overall damage totaled to US$3.4 million (2023 USD).
