when is the hurricane season in the caribbean

The Caribbean hurricane season officially runs from June 1 to November 30 each year, with the highest risk typically occurring from August through October, and especially around mid-September. This timing covers storms that can form in the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico, all of which can impact Caribbean islands and coasts. NOAA/NWS guidance and regional travel resources consistently use June–November as the core hurricane window for the Caribbean, while noting that actual weather can vary year to year and that most activity concentrates in the late summer and early autumn months.
