Who is really surprised that hurricanes arrive every year? We mean, they do come every year, almost like they are nearly a predictable weather pattern rolling off of Africa, zooming across the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean and then gathering strength in the Caribbean, twisting and turning and then moving from tropical weather system and then a hurricane.
Oh wait, hurricanes are a seasonal event — which is why many people, like meteorologists, refer to the time frame from June 1 to November 1 as Hurricane Seasons. We even have a National Hurricane Center, created to cover these natural phenomenon.
But every year around this time, as tropical depressions become hurricanes there’s almost a surprise. So imagine our surprise this morning when we learned that, gasp, there are some growing systems in the Caribbean that might bring some rough weather to Mexico, Cuba and other Caribbean islands.
Now, media reports are acting slightly surprised that these systems might become stormy weather in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean have a 40 percent chance of becoming hurricanes. Sheesh, it happens every year, and some annual events should come as a surprise.
For those traveling to places like Cancun, Mexico City and Cuba, these big storms could rain on your holiday — but that’s also one of the reasons there are so many special offers during this time frame. It’s because there is almost always a chance of showers and strong winds.
