Hurricane and Weather Information
Hurricane season is June 1st through November 30th. It is never too early to begin planning your family and your home for the storm season. We urge you to plan now and be prepared. The 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season, which runs from June 1 through November 30, is forecasted to be more active than usual. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) expects 13 to 19 named storms, with 6 to 10 becoming hurricanes and 3 to 5 of those possibly reaching major hurricane strength (Category 3 or higher). This increased activity is due in part to warmer Atlantic Ocean temperatures, continued ENSO neutral conditions and forecasts for weak wind shear and the potential for higher activity point for the Atlantic hurricanes. Hurricane Preparedness Tips For North Miami residents, this forecast means it's especially important to stay alert and prepared. While we can’t predict exactly where storms will go, our location in South Florida makes us highly vulnerable. Members of the public are encouraged to utilize resources like the National Hurricane Center for crucial updates designed to help communities like ours make well-informed decisions before, during and after storms. The City of North Miami urges all community members to begin preparing now. Review your family emergency plans, check your hurricane kits, and make sure you’re signed up for emergency alerts from the City. We are committed to keeping you informed and safe throughout the season. Working together, we can reduce risks and protect our community.
