When is hurricane season in Florida?
Hurricane season in Florida runs from 1 June to 30 November. Most activity falls between mid-August and mid-October, and 10 September is the climatological peak, according to the National Hurricane Center.
A hurricane starts as a cluster of thunderstorms over warm ocean water. Warm, moist air rises from the sea surface. The air pressure near the surface drops, and more air flows in. The rotation of the Earth makes this air spin, anticlockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. Weak winds high in the atmosphere let the system organise. A system with a closed circulation is called a tropical depression. It becomes a tropical storm when its winds strengthen, and the National Hurricane Center gives it a name. It becomes a hurricane when its winds reach hurricane strength.
Sea temperatures around Florida are highest in late summer. This is the time of the most storm activity. Early in the season, storms often form in the Gulf of Mexico or the western Caribbean Sea. Later in the season, storms often start as tropical waves that leave West Africa and cross the Atlantic Ocean. Storms reach Florida from the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico or the Caribbean Sea. Some storms cross Cuba before they reach Florida.

What does the forecast cone show on the Florida map?
The forecast cone on the RainViewer map shows the probable track of the centre of a storm during the forecast period. The cone does not show how far wind, rain, or storm surge reach from the centre, so areas outside the cone can still have storm effects. The cone is part of the Storm Tracks layer, together with the current position, the past path, and the forecast path.
