Learn How to Prepare for Hurricanes

Hurricane Season - June 1 to November 30

Although North Carolina’s Hurricane Preparedness Week has passed, hurricane season has not. Here's how you can be prepared for potential hurricanes and tropical storms this season.

When is Hurricane Season?

Tropical storms are most active in North Carolina from August to October, but hurricane season extends from June 1 to November 30! During this period, North Carolina can experience multiple hurricanes and tropical storms within weeks of each other. Visit the Emergency Management Raleigh Ready Guide for more information about how you can prepare for tropical storms and hurricanes.

You can track storms with Raleigh Stormwater to see where it's flooding during a storm.
