Each year, meteorologists and emergency management officials mark their calendars for the official Atlantic hurricane season, which begins on June 1st and extends through November 30th.
This six-month window represents the period when conditions in the Atlantic Ocean basin are most favorable for tropical storm and hurricane development. During these months, residents along the Eastern Seaboard, including Delaware and the Delmarva Peninsula, monitor weather forecasts closely as storm systems can potentially impact the region.
The established timeframe helps coastal communities prepare for potential severe weather events and serves as a reminder for families to review their emergency preparedness plans.
