Hurricane season in Plano 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. ## Past hurricanes in Plano The list below shows past hurricanes and tropical storms that came near Plano, newest first. - EDOUARD Tropical Storm **Peak wind** 93 km/h **Season** 2026 [Track](https://www.rainviewer.com/uk/storm-tracker/hurricanes/edouard-2026.html) [Archive of all hurricanes →](https://www.rainviewer.com/uk/storm-tracker-archive/hurricanes/) ## Storms elsewhere in Texas See current and past storms for the whole state on the Texas hurricane tracker page.
