Interesting Facts About Hurricanes

The Atlantic hurricane season officially runs from June 1 to Nov. 30 each year. 

Hurricanes develop from tropical storms and are considered to be the largest storms on Earth. Once a tropical storm is classified as a hurricane, winds go as high as 74 mph or higher. In meteorology, hurricanes are the only storms that are given their names as if the storm takes on a life of its own. The most violent winds and heaviest of rains occur closest to the eye. Around the globe, hurricanes may be referred to as typhoons or cyclones depending upon where they occur. The hurricane season typically starts in June and ends in November when the air is the most humid and the water is the warmest.
