September is the most active hurricane month
September is historically the most active month of the Atlantic hurricane season, a period when conditions are ripe for the formation and intensification of tropical cyclones. This peak is attributed to a confluence of factors, including warmer ocean temperatures, reduced wind shear, and decreased intrusions of dry air from the Sahara Desert. These elements create a conducive environment for storms to develop and strengthen, often leading to significant impacts on coastal communities.
