The Caribbean hurricane season typically runs from June 1 to November 30 each year, with the peak risk concentrated in August through October. This timeframe corresponds to the Atlantic hurricane season, which includes storms that form in the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico. Key points you might find helpful:
- Official season window: June 1 to November 30.
- Peak months: August, September, and October, with September often the most active month.
- Regional focus: While the entire Caribbean is affected by the season, the specific islands can experience varying levels of activity from year to year.
- Preparation: Even during the off-peak portions of the season, tropical weather can bring heavy rain and strong winds. It’s wise to monitor forecasts from reliable sources (e.g., national weather services and the national hurricane center) and have a plan in case a storm approaches.
If you want, I can tailor this to a specific Caribbean country or island and provide its typical risk pattern, historical averages, and travel considerations during hurricane season.
