  1. Hurricane season goes from June 1 to November 30

    Remember hurricanes can happen anytime of the year.

    The most active part of the season is August and September.


  2. June 1st to end of November

  3. according to Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML), the Atlantic hurricane season is from 1 June to 30 November

    these dates were selected to encompass over 97% of tropical activity.

    there's a "very peaked season from August to October", with:

        * 78% of the tropical storm days

        * 87% of the "minor" hurricane days

        * 96% of the "major" hurricane days

    And within this peak hurricane season, early to mid-September is the pinnacle.

    Of course Mother Nature isn't reading any calendars, and every once in a while a tropical cyclone hits out of season -- usually in May or December-- or late in the season: Hurricane Wilma, for instance, that caused so much damage on Mexico's Caribbean coast, battered Cancun and the Riviera Maya on October 21 and 22 2005.  

  4. The 2008 Pacific hurricane season is an ongoing event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation. It officially started May 15, 2008 in the eastern Pacific, started on June 1, 2008 in the central Pacific, and will last until November 30, 2008.

  5. In the Atlantic Ocean it is from June 1 to Dec. 1, a  six month period
