The upcoming hurricane season is predicted to be hyperactive, with the impacts of climate change playing a significant role. Warmer water favors the formation of stronger and more dangerous storms, making hurricanes even more powerful. The season is set to begin on June 1st, and experts are warning people to prepare for a potentially rough year ahead.
The forecast for this season is the most bullish ever, with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicting between 17 to 25 named storms. This means there may be more storms than the 21 names designated for the season, starting from Alberto to William. NOAA also anticipates 8 to 13 hurricanes, with 4 to 7 of them reaching major status (category 3 or above).
