How does Hurricane season affect October??

[bcarson]

I know this year was different then most. But we are planning to go sometime in the first or second week in October. I was just curious if we would run into some trouble? When is actual hurricane season? Also I saw mentioned on another thread that people thought that there would be some good deals during September to entice people who might be afraid of a repeat of last year. Do you think this will or may be still in affect for the first of October?

Hurricane season runs through November, so in October there are still chances for Atlantic storms. October is, however, generally a slow month in the tropics, so you shouldn't have to worry. There will be the normal daily rainshowers and high humidity, though, so be prepared for that.

I was there this past Oct. The first week. I thought it would not be very crowded, but i was wrong. Everyone who was supposed to go when the hurricanes hit, rescheduled for Oct. Everyone I spoke to there, told me that they were supposed to go in Sept, but the hurricanes hit.

Usually by October the circumstances that create an ideal situation for hurricanes in the Caribbean and Atlantic Ocean near Florida have moved on. Florida's worst hurricanes are usually in late August and early September. We went to WDW the 1st week of Oct, and it was beautiful!

nothing more to say, really. ocean and gulf water temps have dropped by october, and those are the fuel hurricanes need. 5 degree water temps make a big difference either way. relax.
