Re: NOAA voorspelt een bovengemiddeld Atlantisch orkaanseizoen
Bericht van: Nick (Boutersem) , 03-06-2024 14:10ORLANDO, Fla. – The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season has begun. NOAA released its forecast on May 23, predicting the highest-ever number of storms for its May predictions.
The season officially starts on June 1 and ends on Nov. 30. This six-month period is chosen by the National Hurricane Center because it includes about 97% of all Atlantic tropical storms and hurricanes, according to NOAA’s Hurricane Research Division.
Although the first tropical disturbance appeared in April, this early activity doesn’t necessarily indicate an extremely active season, but expert forecasts do. NOAA’s forecasters predicts a well-above-average season with 17-25 named storms, 8-13 hurricanes and 4-7 major hurricanes. Forecasters agree with this outlook.
This Atlantic hurricane season is expected to be more active than usual due to several factors including near-record warm ocean temperatures in the Atlantic, developing La Niña conditions in the Pacific, weaker Atlantic trade winds and reduced wind shear, all of which promote tropical storm formation.

Kan weleens een ruig seizoen worden.

Laat de aarde dus maar een lekker potje koken. Zij dopt haar eigen boontjes op haar beurt wel (tegen de indringers).
