November Hurricane Climatology

The Atlantic Hurricane Season wraps up in 26 days on November 30. November hurricanes are usually weaker and somewhat rare. Ocean temperatures are cooling and wind shear increases in the Atlantic Basin.

When they do form, typically it is in the area highlighted above. Fronts coming off the east coast help steer them away from the United States. Since 1900, there have only been four November hurricane landfalls in the U.S. – the most recent being Hurricane Kate in 1985.
