That was Senior Meteorological Officer at the St. Kitts Met Office, Mr. Elmo Burke. The Atlantic Hurricane Season runs from June 1st to November 30th, annually, but there is a peak period, which mid-August to October.
Wha is the peak period” This is when atmospheric and oceanographic conditions are most favourable for tropical storm and hurricane development. Such conditions include warm ocean temperatures and reduced wind shear.
So far for the season, SKN has not experienced any significant impact from storms or hurricanes. Hurricane Erin (the first hurricane of the 2025 season) was the closest to pass near the Federation. Therefore, Mr. Burke stressed how imperative it is to stay alert.
