The wind speeds determines the category of a hurricane. The Saffir Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is used to categorize hurricanes. These are the wind speeds of each category. Category 1 74-95 mph, category 2 96-110 mph, category 3 111-129 mph, category 4 130-156 mph, and category 5 157 mph or higher.
The hurricane season starts in mid-August and ends in late October. The names of hurricanes are recycled every six years. The hurricanes are named by The World Meteorological Organization. If a storm forms in the off-season, it will take the next name in the list based on the current calendar.
