1600-1619 Atlantic hurricane seasons

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The decades of the 1600s and 1610s featured the 1600-1619 Atlantic hurricane seasons. While data for every storm that occurred is unavailable, some parts of the coastline were populated enough to give data of hurricane occurrences. Each season was an ongoing event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation in the Atlantic basin. Most tropical cyclone formation occurs between June 1 and November 30.
