The Atlantic Hurricane Season runs from June 1 to November 30 each year. During this time, warm ocean waters can lead to the formation of tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico. These storms are categorized based on their wind speeds, with hurricanes classified as storms with sustained winds of 74 miles per hour or higher. Meteorologists monitor these storms closely using satellite imagery and weather models. The National Hurricane Center provides forecasts and warnings to help communities prepare for potential impacts, such as heavy rainfall, strong winds, and storm surges.
