Atlantic hurricane season

Okay kiddo, imagine the ocean as a giant swimming pool. Sometimes, it gets really hot outside and the water in the pool gets warm too. When this happens, the air above the pool starts to rise up and creates a big storm, like a water tornado. This is what we call a hurricane.

In the Atlantic, which is a big part of the ocean near North America, hurricanes usually happen from June to November each year. During this time, the water in the ocean gets really warm and there is a lot of moisture in the air. This makes it easy for hurricanes to form.

Scientists who study the weather keep a close eye on the Atlantic during hurricane season so they can warn people if a hurricane is coming. They use special tools like satellites and planes to track the storms and figure out where they are going.

When a hurricane is approaching land, people who live in areas that might be affected will be told to be careful and prepare for the storm. This means making sure they have enough food, water, and other supplies to last for a few days in case they can't leave their homes. They might also be told to evacuate, which means leaving their homes and going to a safer place until the storm passes.

So, in summary, the Atlantic hurricane season is a time of year when hurricanes are more likely to form and affect areas near the Atlantic. Scientists keep an eye on the storms and warn people to prepare or evacuate if necessary.
