Hurricane Harbor: June a Week away... 7 Days!! Watch Close In Development for June Hot Spots. Can Development Sneak In Before Speedy Gonzales El Nino Turns Into Godzilla El Nino? Could History Be Repeating? Hurricane Alma 1966 ... Pay Attn!

Hurricane Season begins in 7 days.

1 Week!

So let's take a look at June that is not coming too soon, but on time in a week from now. We already see the signs in the models, especially the GFS, showing possible development down near the Yucatan that may or may not be able to spin something up. But what the GFS is showing you, as are the other models that jumped on board before the GFS went into a hiding again, is where to watch for signs of possible early season development!

A common area to watch is down near the Yucatan. Sometimes it's in the Bay of Campeache and other times it's down in the Caribbean near Honduras and then it moves up into the Yucatan Passage between the Yucatan and Cuba and from there it all depends on what is going on in the atmosphere on any given day. Sometimes it tries to form, or it doesn't form and decides to park itself over the Florida Straits dropping obscene amounts of rain over Miami. Other times something tries to develop and weakly wobbles around attaining Invest status and the media jumps on it reminding everyone that it's Hurricane Season. And, on rare occaisions such as in 1966 Hurricane Alma formed in June. Rare, but it happens. Usually June storms are Tropical Storms or Tropical Depressions, but in 1966 Alma became the real deal. My friend on X known as @Weather_Earth25 would remind you that 1966 was a Fire Horse in Chinese Astrology as is 2026!
