Actually, hurricane season doesn't really play into the mix. Unless you're in the bullseye, you'd never even know that a hurricane was just on the other side of the state for example. High pressure always dominates around the storm, so Ft. Lauderdale could be getting blasted while over here in the St. Pete / Tampa area it's gorgeous. Even when you do get hit, it's a one-day event and then beautiful weather follows behind.
Yes, beautifull HOT weather when your power is out for 8 days and you're sweating like a pig trying to clean up the mess. Your poor little generator is doing all it can just to keep lights and fridge going, no AC. Phone is out, water is out, your busy fixing the water main yourself so you can get water.
But it is nice out all right. Speaking from experience after Charlie in 2004, 8 days on the generator, 28 trees down on my property (2/3 acre). What a f^&*in mess.
