How often do severe storms, hurricanes effect Bermuda in mid to late October. Thinking of doing last minute cruise.
I’d say once every 2 years. Late October is often better than mid October (mid October is when Fay and Gonzalo hit us back in 2014), and the activity of storms dies down by late October. Sorry about the late reply, hope I helped.
