From June 1 to November 30th the Caribbean and Northern Atlantic, look towards the East for signs of tropical disturbances from the coast of Africa, which on arrival to our shores, given the right conditions, have developed into hurricanes.

In 2008, Turks and Caicos Islands were battered by Hurricane Hanna & Ike, with Grand Turk and Salt Cay being hit the hardest.

Each of the sites below will provide you information about the systems coming toward the Turks and Caicos Islands this 2012 Atlantic Hurricane Season.

Note: due to high volumes of traffic, particularly as a storm approaches, some of these sites may be difficult to reach.

The Turks & Caicos Department of Disaster Management and Emergencies has produced a helpful hurricane guide, available online - just click on this link:
