The End Of Hurricane Season Is In Sight, But What Should We Expect For Nov?

By Jessi Minneci

The finish line to this hurricane season is in sight as we have officially entered the month of November. 

I do have a trivia question for you, though. Of the six months of hurricane season which is the most inactive? 

If you answered November you're incorrect. 

Historically it's been June. 

Surprised? November is the second least active of hurricane season. Here's the actual breakdown of months based on activity:  

  1. September 

  1. August 

  1. October 

  1. July 

  1. November 

  1. June 

So historically what does November generally bring? 

Since 1851 (the first year of official tracking of the Atlantic hurricane season) November has brought:

  • 91 tropical storms 
  • 60 hurricanes 

In other words, we average a tropical storm about every other year and a hurricane about every three years. So, the wind is at our back (pun intended) as we head down the home stretch.
