I mean do the hurricanes just say okay, it’s June I’m gonna start now, and when November comes, it says I’m gonna stop now. How do we know the exact month that a hurricane could pop up and how do we know the exact month that it stops? Who’s to say we couldn’t have a hurricane in December?

Warm water temperature….
December tropical cyclones, while exceedingly rare, aren’t unheard of. Since 1851, 10 tropical storms have formed in the Atlantic basin. That’s an average of about one tropical storm every 15 years.
Of those 10 named tropical storms, five became hurricanes. The strongest was Hurricane Lili, which attained a peak wind speed of 80 mph in mid-December, 1984. The latest hurricane was Alice, which formed on Dec. 30, 1954, and didn’t dissipate until Jan. 6, 1955.
