Counting events per calendar month

Hurricanes can make landfall in Florida throughout the year. As we've already discussed, some months are more hurricane-prone than others.

Using florida_hurricane_dates, let's see how hurricanes in Florida were distributed across months throughout the year.

We've created a dictionary called hurricanes_each_month to hold your counts and set the initial counts to zero. You will loop over the list of hurricanes, incrementing the correct month in hurricanes_each_month as you go, and then print the result.

  • Within the for loop:
  • Assign month to be the month of that hurricane.
  • Increment hurricanes_each_month for the relevant month by 1.
