It’s here: The 2023 Atlantic hurricane season has begun.

Though tropical storms and hurricanes can form year-round, most brew during the six-month Atlantic hurricane season, which officially runs from June 1 to Nov. 30 each year. In fact, 97% of all tropical cyclones in the Atlantic form during the season. Based on the 30-year climate period from 1991 to 2020, an average Atlantic hurricane season has 14 named storms, of which seven become hurricanes. Of those seven hurricanes, three are classified as “major” hurricanes − Category 3, 4, or 5 on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale.
