Myrtle Beach Golf Vacations and Hurricanes - How to Weather Any Storm

Hurricane season in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina runs from
June through November each year. The peak months for
hurricane activity are August and September. If you are
planning a Myrtle Beach golf vacation during these times of
the year, you should prepare yourself before arriving at your
golf destination. This article provides tips and advice on
how to weather any storm the tropics might throw at you while
enjoying your golf vacation.

NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
predicts that this will be another above-average Atlantic
hurricane season. The organization predicts 12 to15 tropical
storms, 7 to 9 hurricanes and 3 to 5 major hurricanes.
Vacationing golfers should not take these predictions
lightly. We have already seen one of the busiest Julys in the
history of hurricane tracking.

Golfers should not let these predictions deter them from
taking a golf trip to the Myrtle Beach area during the summer
and fall seasons. Summer golf deals along the Grand Strand
are hotter than our southern summers. Also, fall in Myrtle
Beach provides golfers with dropping accommodation rates to
accompany falling temperatures and humidity.

If you are unlucky enough to be right in the middle of a golf
vacation when a hurricane takes aim at the coast of the
Carolinas, don't worry. Unlike an unexpected afternoon
thunderstorm, hurricanes do not sneak up on the South
Carolina coast. This gives vacationing golfers plenty of time
to leave before the situation gets dangerous.

The best piece of advice we can offer if you plan on visiting
the Grand Strand golf area during hurricane season is to keep
an eye on the extended href="http://www.perfectgolfvacations.com/myrtle-beach-weather-
forecast.html">Myrtle Beach weather forecast. If a hurricane
approaches during your trip, don't panic. As soon as it looks
like you may need to abandon your golf vacation, begin
following these steps.

• Watch the local weather station and follow their
  advice.
• Check on earlier flights and arrive earlier
  at the airport.
• Fill your car with a full tank of
  gas at first sign of hurricane.
• Map out evacuation
  routes before your leave.
• Pack water and food in
  case of traffic jams when driving.
• Don't wait until
  the last minute to evacuate.
