Hurricane Climatology and Season
Source: NHC | NOAA
Hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 30th, though there have been storm systems that have organized outside of that period. One of the earliest hurricanes to form on record was back in 1938 when a tropical storm developed and reached hurricane status on January 3rd. In December of 1954, Hurricane Alice formed and maintained its intensity before finally dissipating on January 6, 1955, becoming the only hurricane to span two different calendar years.

August 1st marked the beginning of the climatological ‘heart’ of hurricane season, when activity increases and peaks around September 10th.
An inactive beginning of the hurricane season does not mean that it will not have any significant storms.
