Hurricane Season Isn’t Over — Here’s Why the South Gets Hit
• The Atlantic hurricane season officially runs from June 1st to November 30th, with significant hurricane activity possible in the South even in November.
• Warm sea surface temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea, along with shifting atmospheric patterns, contribute to late-season hurricane risk.
• Climate change is intensifying hurricane activity, making preparedness crucial for Southern US residents throughout the entire hurricane season.
Hurricane season extends; South remains vulnerable
The Atlantic hurricane season officially runs from June 1st to November 30th, but the peak of hurricane activity typically occurs between mid-August and late October. While many people believe the threat diminishes after this peak, the reality is that significant hurricane activity can still occur in November, particularly affecting the Southern United States.
