The climatological peak of the Atlantic hurricane season is Sept. 10, with most activity occurring between mid-August and mid-October, on average, according to the National Hurricane Center. Historically speaking, about two-thirds of all Atlantic hurricane season activity occurs between Aug. 20 and Oct. 10.

"About 60 percent of the season's activity occurs after the peak, so we're not out of the woods yet," says senior hurricane specialist.

Sept. 10 marked the climatological peak of the Atlantic hurricane season, but it is typically busy through the month and into October. The Atlantic hurricane season has been relatively quiet so far. There have been five tropical storms and one hurricane so far.
