Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. If you are wondering when peak hurricane season in Florida is, most activity is seen August through October, where 96 percent of the major hurricane days occur from August to October, according to NOAA.

No, December is not part of the official Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 through November 30 each year. By December, the atmospheric conditions that support tropical cyclone development—such as high sea surface temperatures and low wind shear—have typically dissipated as winter weather patterns take over. While it is meteorologically possible for a "zombie" tropical storm to form out of season (as has happened in rare years), the risk is statistically negligible. For travelers, December in Florida is widely considered one of the best times to visit, as the weather is significantly drier, the humidity is much lower, and the threat of severe tropical weather has passed. Instead of hurricanes, December visitors are more likely to encounter "cold fronts" that can occasionally bring brisk temperatures to Northern and Central Florida, but these are brief and do not carry the destructive wind and surge risks associated with the summer and autumn months.
