The map above shows the 13 hurricanes that have made landfall in October since 1950. Eight of those occurred in Florida and you can see the cluster of lines in south Florida in particular.
The southwestern Atlantic Ocean, including off the Southeast coast of the U.S., and the eastern Gulf of Mexico are favorable areas for development in October, while the chance for storms to form in the eastern Atlantic becomes less likely. The western Caribbean Sea is also an area to watch for possible development, associated with the migration and extension of the monsoon trough from the eastern Pacific.
