Figure 2-6. Storm Occurrence by Year and Region
2.3.3 Storm Events - Seasonal and Monthly Occurrence
Over the entire inventory, January and February are the months where storm events are most
common with about 30% of the storm events occurring in these months alone. December is also
a significant storm event month with 10% occurrence. The remainder of the months experience
less than 10% occurrence each as outlined in Table 2-3. Notwithstanding, storm events in
September have caused the greatest impact in terms of locations experiencing flooding.
Generally, as illustrated in Figure 2-7, Figure 2-8 and Figure 2-9, Newfoundland is most storm
event prone in the winter, fall and spring and least prone over the summer months. However,
Central Newfoundland does show a more even expectation of storm events throughout the year
on a seasonal basis.
