Hurricane Season

Hurricane season is the period during the year when conditions in the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean are most favorable for the formation of hurricanes. Typically running from June 1 to November 30, it is characterized by warm sea surface temperatures, low wind shear, and atmospheric instability that allow storms to develop and strengthen. During this time, meteorologists monitor weather patterns closely to predict and prepare for potential hurricanes, which can cause significant flooding, wind damage, and disruption. The season’s activity varies annually, but being aware and prepared helps protect lives and property.
