Hurricane season refers to the time of year when hurricanes are most likely to form in the ocean. In the Atlantic Ocean, this season typically runs from June 1 to November 30. During this period, warm ocean waters and favorable weather conditions can lead to the development of tropical storms and hurricanes. Hurricanes are powerful storms characterized by strong winds and heavy rain. They can cause significant damage to coastal areas, leading to flooding and destruction. Meteorologists closely monitor these storms using satellites and radar to provide warnings and forecasts to help keep people safe during hurricane season.
