Hurricane Season will be here soon! This is a time when hurricanes normally form. This period of time changes depending on what part of the world you are in. Our hurricane season, in the Atlantic Ocean, is from June 1st to November 30th. Hurricanes are storms that form in tropical regions which are characterized by low pressure, strong winds, and heavy thunderstorms.
