The name Alex has been used for twelve tropical cyclones worldwide: five in the Atlantic Ocean, four in the Western Pacific Ocean and three in the South-West Indian Ocean. The name has also been used for one extratropical European windstorm.
In the North Atlantic:

Hurricane Alex (2010), a Category 2 hurricane that made landfall in Belize as a tropical storm and passed over the Yucatán Peninsula before making landfall in Tamaulipas, Mexico, at maximum intensity.
Hurricane Alex (2016), a rare Category 1 hurricane that formed in mid-January, made landfall in the Azores causing heavy rainfall and gusty winds.
