Whenever hurricane season is mentioned in the U.S., usually refers to the Atlantic Hurricane Season, whose storms most commonly affect the North American continent. It is an ongoing event and officially ends on November 30. The areas covered include the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea.

The 2020 hurricane season started with a blast. It is the first one ever in which nine tropical storms formed before August and thirteen formed before September in the Atlantic basin alone. So far, the Atlantic hurricane season features a total of 14 tropical depressions, 13 tropical storms, four hurricanes, and one major hurricane. Since May 16, the 2020 hurricane season caused $13.760 billion in damage and 103 deaths (source: Wikipedia)
