hurricane belt
Storm-prone latitude band
The hurricane belt is the region of tropical and subtropical ocean where hurricanes regularly form and travel—primarily the Atlantic basin from the west coast of Africa through the Caribbean to the Gulf of Mexico, and similar zones in the Pacific.
Areas within the hurricane belt face annual threats during hurricane season: Florida lies squarely in the hurricane belt.
