NOAA Predicts Above-Average Atlantic Hurricane Season with Increased Storm Activity
NOAA forecasts 13-19 named storms, including 6-10 hurricanes, amid staffing concerns and climate change impacts.
Overview
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecasts an above-average Atlantic hurricane season, predicting 13 to 19 named storms, including 6 to 10 hurricanes, with 3 to 5 major hurricanes expected. This prediction is influenced by warmer ocean temperatures and increased activity from the West African Monsoon. Experts emphasize the importance of public preparedness, especially as staffing shortages at NOAA and FEMA raise concerns about effective monitoring and response. The hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, and historical data shows that even weak storms can cause significant inland flooding and fatalities.
