T/S "Arthur" has actually formed a day before the opening
of the North Atlantic hurricane season, Martin, which starts
tomorrow, the 1st of June. It's the East Pacific area that
commences it's hurricane season on the 15th of May.
Both regions seasons terminate on the 30th of November.

for both the Atlantic *and* NE Pacific used by the Met Office for the

dates as used by other services ... see he-
