Hurricanes have happened in every month but January, I've been told...
Anybody's guess, but the official meteorologists word is that Oct 15 is about the end of it.
Right, but the official season ends today.
Officially, the North Atlantic Tropical Season lasts through November 30th.
Whill activity gradually declines through October there's nothing magical about October 15th. There have been Category 5 hurricanes after October 15th, and US hurricane hits after October 15th.
I guess # 24 didn't get the word:') I know we have had storms in Nov though.
Here's something about Hurricane Lenny in 1999. Became a hurricane Nov. 14

He's simply mistaken. The Official Atlantic Tropical season lasts through November 30th. Nothing official happens October 15.
Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30.
Maybe so, but the Committee-That-Names-Tropical-Storms has spoken. They are going home.
This is kind of funny, really. Here we are,on a hurricane thread, watching #24, and debating if hurricane season is over! lol
That's because they are out of names:')
Lists are made well in advance. Not sure what you mean by this.

Wasn't there one somewhere that came in on Thanksgiving?
This was an interview on radio news this morning. Didn't catch the name of the official.
They have the whole Greek alphabet ahead of them...but I am impressed that we will probably have a W storm this year. The question is will we have an Alpha?
Wonder what they were trying to communicate? Perhaps the end of the peak time of hurricane formation?
Probably...but I'd have to go digging in the old storm info to find it...
It's probably that the odds of tropical storm formation are reduced significantly after Oct 15.
That's true. We have passed the peak..but there have been some very strong storms in November, so it's not time to pack away the plywood and duck tape quite yet...
In 30 years of living in the Florida Keys, we've been hit with a number of late October and November storms.
Kate and Irene are two that come to mind.
