Hurricane Prep and Storm-Season Jet Ski Storage in Connecticut

Of the 10 hurricanes NOAA records in Connecticut since 1851, 3 arrived in months our season rule marks as on the water at Hartford (Jun, Jul and Aug) and 7 in the other months; 6 fell in months marked wetsuit weather. At Bridgeport the count is 3 in months on the water. 0 have come since 2000 and 2 were Category 3 or stronger.

In NOAA's record, Connecticut impacts fall most often in September (6), August (3) and October (1). In those months a personal watercraft at Hartford is wetsuit weather in September, on the water in August and off the water in October by our season rule, and on the water in 3 of the 6 season months overall, so settle storage before June 1.

Hartford averages 4.5 inches in October, so check the site drains.
