storm season
Cyclone-prone period
Storm season is the time of year when severe weather is most likely in a particular region.
For hurricanes, this typically means late summer through fall; for tornadoes, spring and early summer.
The term often carries a sense of anticipation or preparation: We stock up on supplies before storm season.
