Alarm has been raised about an unusually active Atlantic hurricane season which could have a direct impact on Ireland’s weather.
The season officially began on June 1 and continues until November 30, with forecasters warning about “above-average hurricane activity” this year.
Experts at the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are forecasting a likely range of 14 to 21 named storms in 2022, of which they say six to 10 could become hurricanes, including three to six major hurricanes.
