The Atlantic hurricane season officially begins in June, but activity is typically slow during the month.

Most systems form in the western Atlantic or Gulf of Mexico.

Tropical storm and hurricane activity in the Atlantic typically remains fairly light during the hurricane season's first month before things really heat up August into early October.

Just 5 percent of the tropical storms since 1851 in the Atlantic have occurred in June. For comparison, August, September and October have accounted for 23 percent, 35 percent and 21 percent of all tropical storms on record, respectively.
