NOAA predicts very active hurricane season, issues highest-ever May forecast
SUMMARY: NOAA forecasts a highly active 2024 hurricane season with an 85% chance of above-average activity, predicting 17-25 named storms, 8-13 hurricanes, and 4-7 major hurricanes. Contributing factors include record warm ocean temperatures in the Tropical Atlantic and a transition from El Niño to La Niña, favoring storm development. Historically, active seasons increase storm landfall likelihood in the U.S. Other agencies, including Colorado State University, the European ECMWF, and the UK Meteorology Service, also predict a busy season. Although the Atlantic Basin hasn't seen any named storms early, activity is expected to rise in early June, emphasizing early preparation.
