Hurricane seasons have been getting longer over the past century and the big storms are coming earlier, LiveScience has learned. The trend has been particularly noticeable since 1995, some climate scientists say
"There has been an increase in the seasonal length over the last century," Jay Gulledge, a senior scientist with the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, told LiveScience. "It's pretty striking.
Hurricane season officially starts June 1, but the first named storm of the 2008 season, Tropical Storm Albert, formed on May 31. The first hurricane of the season, Hurricane Bertha, formed on July 1, reaching hurricane strength on July 7, relatively early in the season for a major storm
Do You think humans help precipitate this change?

Yes i beleve humans and not a hurricane cycle caused these storms to become stronger develop faster and last longer than the storms of the past.The Hurricane season has gotten a little longer I noticed this last year,but we have no control of the weather so we should let mother nature roar when she needs to.
