Template:Short description This is a list of Atlantic hurricane seasons, which covers the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation in the Atlantic Ocean. Historical records of hurricane seasons date back to the 1800s, and these hurricanes and tropical storms can affect Central America, the United States, and Canada. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, and this period is when most tropical activity occurs, with the peak occurring in September. Although storms can form outside of these months as well.
