Atlantic hurricane seasons 1601–1700

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The years 1601 to 1700 represented the hurricane seasons 1601–1700 . While data is not available for every storm that has occurred, some parts of the coastline were populated enough to provide data on hurricane occurrences. Each season was an ongoing event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean. Most tropical cyclones form between June and November.
