Hurricane Season is the period of time during which tropical cyclones, known as hurricanes, are most likely to occur in a particular region. In the Atlantic Basin, which includes the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico, hurricane season officially runs from June 1st to November 30th each year. During this time, conditions such as warm ocean temperatures and low wind shear create favorable conditions for the development and intensification of hurricanes, posing heightened risks to coastal areas and communities in the affected regions.
As hurricane season reaches its peak, many homeowners still lack flood insurance—leaving them vulnerable to costly storm surges and flood damage. Since standard policies don’t cover flooding, now is the time to secure separate flood insurance before the next storm hits.
Running from June through November, the Atlantic hurricane season is expected to bring 9 to 15 named storms, according to NOAA. Even if you’re not on the coast, high winds and flooding can cause serious damage inland. Now is the time to review your emergency plans and confirm you have the right insurance coverage—including flood and business interruption protection—before a storm is on the radar.
