Storm climate
Why Florida sees so many storm claims
Florida lives with hurricane and named-storm risk from June through November — the highest tropical exposure in the country — plus near-daily summer thunderstorm wind and spin-up tornadoes. Wind-driven rain intrusion is the defining claim. Across Florida's 67 counties, the roofs most exposed to hurricanes & named storms and wind see the heaviest claim volume during the June–November hurricane season.
