Medium Priority Reduce Monthly Storm Chance

If you're distracted by or have a seeming overabundance just set everything to 0... you can change the parameters... it's your game!

BTW Wind Vortices on land called Tornado/Twister EF=0-5, over water: Waterspout, What is a waterspout?
check it out landlubbers:

Waterspouts fall into two categories: fair weather waterspouts and tornadic waterspouts.
Tornadic waterspouts are tornadoes that form over water, or move from land to water. They have the same characteristics as a land tornado. They are associated with severe thunderstorms, and are often accompanied by high winds and seas, large hail, and frequent dangerous lightning.
Fair weather waterspouts usually form along the dark flat base of a line of developing cumulus clouds. This type of waterspout is generally not associated with thunderstorms. While tornadic waterspouts develop downward in a thunderstorm, a fair weather waterspout develops on the surface of the water and works its way upward. By the time the funnel is visible, a fair weather waterspout is near maturity. Fair weather waterspouts form in light wind conditions so they normally move very little.
If a waterspout moves onshore, the National Weather Service issues a tornado warning, as some of them can cause significant damage and injuries to people. Typically, fair weather waterspouts dissipate rapidly when they make landfall, and rarely penetrate far inland.
According to the National Weather Service, a waterspout is a swirling column of air and water mist. Waterspouts can grow to diameters of over 300 feet and last for up to an hour, though they usually only last from 5 to 10 minutes.
The Fujita tornado intensity scale is widely used, and it ranges from F0 (weakest) to F5 (most damaging). An equivalent classification for waterspouts does not exist. The most common type of waterspout is a fairweather waterspout, which arises over warm seas, e.g. near Florida. It lasts for only a few minutes. These waterspouts are generally of F0 intensity, with winds of no more than 30 m/s. They typically occur during the developing stage of an airmass thunderstorm, below the main updraft. These thunderstorms are found in weakly sheared environments, so the spin-up must result mainly from vortex stretching and less from vortex tilting.
Tornadic waterspouts, on the other hand, are far less common but more dramatic and associated with severe thunderstorms over sea. They are more intense, although it is not clear whether intensities of F2 or higher occur at all at sea.

August through November is Hurricane season... storms in general as well as the spring when Cold and High Pressure/ Low Pressure systems make their way into that area routinely off the continent.

Actually, hurricane season in the Caribbean is from mid-May through the entire month of November. Last year, we had a Cat 1 hurricane spin up practically in my backyard in February. Which parameters in which file(s) need to be adjusted to accurately reflect a normal hurricane season in-game?

Well, yes, spring Hurricanes have become more like the February tornados in states that have never had tornados especially in winter months due to the climate change we humans have caused and now will suffer the penalty for all the methane and CO2 we've dumped in our breathing air to make money... much more important than a stable environment and clean air for breathing, just ask any Republican. Waters temps this year reached a record never before seen or even dreamt of... hot water means Hurricanes just as hot air on land means tornados, Hurricane season in the past was the warmest months since that's when the most formed. February is not supposed to be warm enough to spawn either Huricanes or Tornados, but welcome to Climate Change Bingo via Mother Nature... gotta get rid of excess heat somewhere... all that energy gotta go somewhere and our atmosphere is a very thin layer for disposal.
