The frequency of hurricanes drops off dramatically during late October
and November. In December, storms of this nature rarely occur. The main
reason is that the westerly upper-level winds strengthen and press
farther south, breaking down the Atlantic ridge and increasing wind
shear in the typical hurricane formation zone. In addition, the ocean
cools significantly during November. That means less fuel for any
tropical storm that might try to take shape.
