About Hurricane Season
The Atlantic Hurricane Season is a period of time during which tropical cyclones usually form in the Atlantic Ocean.
The Hurricane Season usually runs from 1 June to 30 November each year. During this period, warm ocean waters, low wind shear and other atmospheric conditions provide a favorable environment for hurricanes to develop and intensify. Once a hurricane arrives, coastal areas can suffer major impacts such as strong winds, heavy rainfall, storm surges and flooding. For business owners and individuals living in hurricane prone areas, it is important to stay informed, plan for preparedness and follow the guidance of local authorities if a hurricane threatens their area.
