The threat of hurricanes is very real for Florida during the six-month long Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 until November 30. The peak of hurricane season occurs between mid-August and late October, when the waters in the equatorial Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico have warmed enough to help support the development of tropical waves.
For example, the 1997 hurricane season is split between a neutral ENSO year from June through September and a warm ENSO year from October through November. According to Bove et al. (1998), the 1997 hurricane season is classified as a warm ENSO phase. ENSO classification for each hurricane season from 1900 to 1998 is displayed in Table 3.

A tornado, one of nature's most violent storms, can develop suddenly, and have winds in excess of 250 mph. Generally, tornadoes in Florida form. along a squall line ahead of an advancing spring cold front from the North, along the squall lines in areas where masses of warm air converge, from isolated local summer thunderstorms, and/or.
On the 10th, Irma made three separate landfalls on Florida. The first occurred at Cudjoe Key (Monroe County; in the lower Keys), at 9:10 AM EDT, with 130-MPH maximum sustained winds (Category 4). This landfall was the first of a major hurricane on Florida since Hurricane Wilma made landfall at Cape Romano (Collier County) on 24
Tropical Weather. The state of Florida is by far the most vulnerable state in the USA to hurricanes and tropical storms. With over 1,200 miles of coastline on the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, all Floridians should keep an eye on the tropics during hurricane season (June 1 through November 30).
Long-Term Precipitation Data. An archive of monthly precipitation data from selected cities in Florida, generally beginning around 1900, although data as far back as the early 1830's can be found for certain locations. There are gaps in some of the earlier data, although most gaps were filled by observations from near by areas.
The freezing level in a Florida thunderstorm is so high; hail often melts before it reaches the ground. Even though hail is not common to the state, there have been about a dozen events of hail of over 3 inches being reported in Florida. One event in 1996 in Lake Wales, hail as big as softballs was reported.
Since 1895, Florida’s average annual temperature has increased by approximately 1.6°F, which is equal to the average global increase since 1895. However, over the last approximately 70 years since 1950, Florida’s rise has exceeded global increases at 3.5°F, compared to 2.7°F globally. The rate of temperature rise has increased over the ...
With our change, the 1982 hurricane season falls entirely within ENSO year 1982. III. Reasons For Reanalysis. There are three main limitations in the original work of Richards and O'Brien (1996). First, the JMA definition of an ENSO year was used, which breaks up a hurricane season into 2 separate events, as described above.
