Tracking The Tropics: What Peak Season Means
• Peak hurricane season brings increased tropical activity due to warm waters and favorable atmospheric conditions.
• Accurate storm tracking and weather advisories are crucial for coastal safety during peak hurricane season.
• Even storms not making landfall can cause dangerous rip currents and rough seas, requiring constant vigilance.
Mid-August to late October peak hurricane season
Peak hurricane season, typically from mid-August to late October, signifies a period of heightened tropical activity in the Atlantic basin. This is when conditions are most favorable for hurricane formation and intensification. Warmer sea surface temperatures, lower wind shear, and atmospheric instability all contribute to the increased frequency and strength of tropical cyclones.
