The hurricane season in the Caribbean runs officially from June 1 through November 30. The season typically peaks in August and September, with October also being a month of high hurricane activity. During this season, the Caribbean sees the most potential for tropical storms and hurricanes, although the impact varies across different islands and years. Travelers should be aware that while hurricanes can occur anytime in this period, some months like July tend to be relatively quieter, and the southern Caribbean islands like Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, and Trinidad and Tobago are generally outside the main hurricane belt and experience less risk. In summary:
- Hurricane season: June 1 to November 30
- Peak months: August, September, and October
- Some southern islands have lower risk
- Travel during this season can offer lower prices but be prepared for severe weather
