The Atlantic Hurricane Season runs from June 1st until November 30th. The peak of the season (most active time) is roughly from August 15th until September 30th.

Into July things start to change, and it becomes more worthwhile to expand the areas you watch closely, and mid to late August is usually when things really start to come together in the tropical Atlantic.

Parts of Florida and northern Gulf coasts have been dealing with very large drought problems this year.
