A surge of hurricanes and tropical storms will shatter the silence across the Atlantic Ocean less than three weeks before the peak of hurricane season.
Dry, dusty air kept most tropical activity across the Atlantic at bay throughout most of August, with Hurricane Debby and Hurricane Ernesto being the two exceptions. However, a major shift in the weather pattern will soon blow the doors wide open for a frenzy of tropical activity to unfold.
“I think things could get very active potentially very quickly here as soon as that dry air goes away,” AccuWeather Lead Hurricane Expert Alex DaSilva said, “We could see a parade of storms.” This dramatic increase in activity will start at the end of August and persist throughout September.

Yeah?! Who sez?!
Now you've really done it. That's like saying the ER is slow, or saying Oops! in the operating room. Some things are just better left unsaid.
Back in 1992, Hurricane Andrew razed the South Florida peninsula August 23-24. Andrew is assigned the rank of 7th most powerful hurricane to strike the U.S.
May be in for a few ice storms later on this fall.......
LOL!
Now if my comment is going to jinx it so a bunch of storms are going to come, what about the article writers who claim:
“Supercharged September: Atlantic hurricane season to intensify dramatically”
They jinxed it first!
“Dusty air” inhibits the formation of hurricanes? Huh? That’s a new one on me
They are just dying for a “supercharged” hurricane season which has so far disappointed them.
Current forecast is that the dust will quell waves into the first week of Sept
If this season has more hurricanes than normal we will hear Global Warming 24/7. If it is normal or less we will hear nothing as in the past when they predicted many hurricanes in a season that did not happen.
“Unprecedented!” “Bombshells!”
Climate nazis rooting for a really bad hurricane season. Not a good look.
He discussed, at length, a study showing the correlation between high solar activity and low hurricane activity. Wx guy was particularly fascinated by this theory, noting remarkable solar activity in 2024.
Finally, La Nina is anticipated in Octoberish. If this happens, we could expect a late season run of hurricanes.
It is true. Dry air inhibits both hurricane formation and strengthening. "Dry air incursion" into the eye of a hurricane denotes a storm that will not strengthen unless and until it can close off the center of circulation. Saharan Desert dust is as dry as it gets.
Florida residents closely watch the Sarahan Desert sand flowing across the Atlantic. Large sand dust flows mean low hurricane formation in the Atlantic. It can also make for interesting sunrises/sunsets and heighten allergies in those who are predisposed.
Some of us - ahem - believe that there WILL be a dramatic (temporary) change in WEATHER - worldwide, in places - as the water vapor from Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai precipitates out of the upper atmosphere where it’s been causing regional warming the past couple of years.
IMHO we’re starting to see the effects, and it would be expected that hurricanes/typhoons would be affected as regions experience an uptick in tropospheric water vapor, where it’s finally settled from the mesosphere after that dramatic eruption.
But that won’t stop the manipulators from triggering the small-minded emotional puppets with cries of ‘climate change’ as they enjoy a resurgence of ‘supporting evidence’ for their agenda...false as it may be.
Well there you go. Thanks for something I didn’t know before
Yeah, whatever…..
I am a meteorologist and you’re right. The water temperature has to be a minimum of 80° F for hurricanes to form. That’s why the warmer the water temperature the stronger the storms. And they always weaken as they head north because they lose the warmth and moisture that fuels them.
