Find out which places are most likely to be hit with storms / hurricanes
With storms and hurricanes and things coming up, I thought this website might be useful for those going to Florida, the Caribbean, and other places where hurricanes are common. You want to scroll down to "Climatological Areas of Origin and Typical Hurricane Tracks by Month" and then find the month you'll be traveling in. Then see if your destination is in the path.
The maps are approximations or averages but better than nothing. If you are going to one of those areas at the "right" time I strongly recommend travel insurance, especially if you're spending a lot on the vacation.
It reminds me of this old conversation where most people seemed to say that travel agents are not to blame when they book trips for people who end up getting stuck in bad weather.
