Tropical cyclones rotate counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. They are classified as follows: Tropical Depression: A tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 38 mph 33 knots or less. Tropical Storm: A tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 39 to 73 mph 34 to 63 knots.
Hurricane: A tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 74 mph 64 knots or higher. In the western North Pacific, hurricanes are called typhoons; similar storms in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific Ocean are called cyclones.
Major Hurricane: A tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of mph 96 knots or higher, corresponding to a Category 3, 4 or 5 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Tropical cyclones forming between 5 and 30 degrees North latitude typically move toward the west. Sometimes the winds in the middle and upper levels of the atmosphere change and steer the cyclone toward the north and northwest.
When tropical cyclones reach latitudes near 30 degrees North, they often move northeast. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November Based on a year climate period from to , an average Atlantic hurricane season has 14 named storms, 7 hurricanes, and 3 major hurricanes Category 3, 4, or 5 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.
The first named storm typically forms in mid to late June, the first hurricane tends to form in early to mid-August, and the first major hurricane forms in late August or early September. The eastern Pacific hurricane season runs from May 15 to November Based on a year climate period from to , an average eastern Pacific hurricane season has 15 named storms, 8 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes.
The first named storm typically forms in early to mid-June, the first hurricane tends to form in late June, and the first major hurricane forms in mid-July.
The following tables describe the progress of typical hurricane seasons in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific basins by showing benchmark dates when a given number of named storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes typically forms. It is important to note, however, that formation dates in individual hurricane seasons could vary considerably from these average dates.

Comfortable tires cushion the hull. Once your boat is sitting snuggly in its pit, the yard ties it down with cyclone straps that have a breaking point of four tons. When boats are stored in this way, insurance is often still valid. Although you should never underestimate the power of nature, should you find yourself in a cyclone zone this season, with the right care and attention, you, too, can weather the worst.
