Barry Keim

Hurricane season officially runs June 1-Nov. 30, but that may change if Louisiana State Climatologist and LSU professor Barry Keim has anything to say about it. Keim and a group of researchers are finding hurricane season in practice is becoming longer, with the season beginning earlier and ending later. Based on their findings, Keim said the research shows a need to change the official start of hurricane season.
