November marks the last month of the Atlantic Hurricane Season, with the official end coming on Nov. 30. So where do storms typically form in the last month of the season?

In terms of climatology, storm development in November tends to favor the Caribbean, the southwestern Atlantic and the central Atlantic Ocean. While U.S. hurricane landfalls in November are rare, they do occur. Four hurricanes have made landfall in the U.S. in November, the most recent being Hurricane Nicole on Nov. 10, 2022. Nicole made landfall near Vero Beach, Fla., as a Category 1 storm.

Hurricane Kate made landfall near Mexico Beach, Fla., as a Category 2 storm with sustained winds of 100 mph on Nov. 22, 1985. Kate was the strongest storm to make a U.S. landfall in November.

The other two hurricanes to make landfall in November were an unnamed South Florida Category 2 hurricane on Nov. 4, 1935, and the "Expedition Hurricane" in eastern North Carolina (Cat. 1) on Nov. 2, 1861.
