When is the Peak of Hurricane Season in the Atlantic?

Based on averages since records have been kept on hurricanes, the peak of hurricane season is September 10th. On this day, the chance of there being a tropical cyclone spinning somewhere in the Atlantic Basin is the highest. Hurricane season begins June 1st and ends on November 30th. Tropical cyclones can occur outside of hurricane season, but they are quite rare.
