Category 3 and higher is considered a major hurricane, meaning that wind speeds can be expected to exceed 111 mph. Hurricane Irma, which was the last significant storm to hit Southwest Florida reached a wind speed of 177 mph, causing catastrophic damage and devastation to our area.

How Experts Predict Storm Seasons

Forecasters utilize comparison modules from previous years' storms to formulate a prediction for the current year. They also take other factors into consideration when predicting storm seasons, including water temperatures and how early in the year warm water temperatures occur. You see, hurricanes form as a result of warm, moist air in high pressure areas. The warm, moist air combines with cool air to form storm clouds. This is why the warmer the temperature of the water, the greater chance there is for a storm to form.

How to Prepare

The best course of action at this time is to start taking action. It's still early enough to start getting your home and family prepared for the worst. In addition to the current health crisis, residents of Southwest Florida will need to start getting ready for the inevitable. Hurricane Season, which runs from June 1st until November 30th, is a time where Floridians batten down the hatches and prepare for whatever inclement weather comes our way. Don't wait until it's too late to get yourself ready. Experts recommend starting as soon as possible to ensure that you have adequate hurricane protection, a hurricane kit and a plan of action in place.
