When is Hurricane season in south america?
The section of South America within the northern hemisphere shares the June - October hurricane season of the northern Atlantic. However, because of the Coriolis effect, few hurricanes in this area make landfall in South America. In the southern hemisphere, the Pacific side of the continent has no recorded hurricanes. A single hurricane was recorded on the Atlantic side in 2004 - hurricane Catarina, which landed in the state of Catarina, Brazil.
