Start of Hurricane Season

Correction to below blog:

The Atlantic hurricane season begins June 1st (about 60 days away) and lasts through November 30. According to the National Hurricane Center, 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. June 1st has been the traditional start of the Atlantic hurricane season for decades. However, the end date has been slowly shifted outward, from October 31st to November 15th until its current date of November 30th.
