The months of August, September, and October offer some of the best deals for vacationing in the Caribbean. Unfortunately, it is also prime hurricane season.
To help give yourself a better chance of avoiding a hurricane during your vacation the National Hurricane Center has put out a series of maps that display common hurricane tracks by month.
The map for August shows that intense storms are most likely to occur in the Caribbean.
By September, southern Louisiana, the eastern tip of Guatemala, the Florida panhandle and Carolina coast also join the Caribbean as regions where hurricanes are most likely to strike.
The pattern shifts in October, when Cuba and southern Florida become most vulnerable.
You can also follow weather that has either become a hurricane or has the potential to become one here.
