Hurricane Prep and Storm-Season Jet Ski Storage in Massachusetts

Of the 12 hurricanes NOAA records in Massachusetts since 1851, 4 arrived in months our season rule marks as on the water at Boston (Jun, Jul and Aug) and 8 in the other months; 7 fell in months marked wetsuit weather. At Worcester the count is 4 in months on the water. 0 have come since 2000 and 1 were Category 3 or stronger.

In NOAA's record, Massachusetts impacts fall most often in September (7), August (4) and October (1). In those months a personal watercraft at Boston 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.

Move it at once. 38 Massachusetts listings list enclosed space; book one before June. 1 of the 12 Massachusetts hurricanes on record came in months a personal watercraft at Boston is off the water by our rule and 4 while it is on the water, so the plan has to work in both states. Worcester averages 4.8 inches in October, so check the site drains.
