The National Hurricane Service has issued a stark warning about the upcoming hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean, predicting it could be one of the most severe in history. The agency's preseason forecast is the most active ever, indicating a higher likelihood of stronger storms than usual.
Meteorologists are bracing for a very active year, with hurricane season set to begin on June 1st. Factors contributing to the forecast include unusually warm ocean waters and the absence of El Nino conditions. The agency's latest projections suggest there could be between 17 to 25 named storms, 8 to 13 hurricanes, and four to seven major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher).
