Officially, the Atlantic hurricane season is from 1 June to 30
November, but as the Atlantic Oceanographic and
Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) notes:

"There is nothing magical in these dates, and hurricanes have
occurred outside of these six months, but these dates were
selected to encompass over 97% of tropical activity."
