3United States: Hurricanes, Wildfires and Winter Storms
The United States is enormous, and its natural hazards vary considerably by region. Florida and the Gulf Coast face hurricane risks, California experiences destructive wildfires, while northern states can be affected by severe winter storms.
Hurricane season in the Atlantic generally runs from June to November. Storms may cause airport closures, coastal evacuations and widespread transport disruption. Wildfires can also affect national parks, scenic roads and popular destinations, particularly in dry regions.
If your holiday involves several states, remember that severe weather can affect connecting flights and road journeys far beyond the immediate disaster area.
