Boy, take a look down in the Gulf and Caribbean, its pretty darn wet down

What are the dates that define the annual hurricane season?
First, if you want to know about the current 2013 hurricane season, you can
go to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_Atlantic_hurricane_season
That will give you dates and current storm data.
Or:
According to the National Hurricane Center down in Miami, Hurricane season
in the Atlantic begins June 1st and ends November 30th. The Eastern Pacific
hurricane season begins May 15th and also ends November 30th.
If you go to their web site at:
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/
You can get all recent storm data as well as tracking charts that you can
download for both the Atlantic and Pacific. There is a great deal of handy
information there, so take a look when you can.
We're still in Hurricane season, so keep alert. Remember Sandy and Irene.
