Hurricane Season Countdown: 100 Days to Prepare

March 2, 2026

With just 100 days until hurricane season officially begins in June, now is the critical time for hurricane preparedness. This year's hurricane outlook features a battle between El Niño, which typically suppresses Atlantic storms, and warmer Atlantic waters that could fuel a more active tropical cyclone season. The time is now to secure hurricane and flood insurance coverage, develop a hurricane emergency plan, set aside emergency cash, and complete your hurricane preparation checklist before tropical weather systems develop.
