With La Nina conditions evolving in the Pacific and near-record warm waters in the Atlantic, scientists expect the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season to be a busy one.
Forecasters at the Climate Prediction Center (CPC), part of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Weather Service, release an outlook every year ahead of hurricane season that includes what kind of storm activity they predict between June 1 and Nov. 30.
CPC researchers say there's an 85% chance that this year's hurricane season will be more active than normal, with the potential for 17 to 25 named storms (which boast wind speeds of at least 39 mph, or 63 kph). The outlook also predicts that eight to 13 of those storms will develop into hurricanes (which have winds of at least 74 mph, or 119 kph), with four to seven strengthening to major hurricane status. A major hurricane is anything that reaches at least Category 3 on the Saffir-Simpson scale — meaning it has sustained winds of at least 111 mph (179 kph). A "typical" hurricane season has 14 named storms with seven hurricanes, three of which are major.

Maybe bad, maybe not but throwing billions in tax dollars at them hurricanes sure won’t make them go away.
They are hoping for destruction and death to validate their years of global warming lies.
I gonna do earthquakes, ya know.

I’m a native of SE Texas since 1970, and other than my military years have lived here or in central Florida.
The government predicts lots of hurricanes and damage every year, so that when it does eventually happen, they can scream “SEE!!! We told you so!”, and the insurance companies (with whom they’ve all invested heavily) can raise our rates.
It’s been that way all my life.
It’ll be that way all my life.
Bastardi is the only one I trust.

I have never figured out why the scientists in Colorado are hurricane “experts” when they never experience one. How about the weather folks out of Miami, New Orleans and Houston?
In any case, I prepare for hurricanes in July because the peak of the Gulf of Mexico season is from mid August to mid September. I have lived on the Gulf Coast for over 50 years and have seen a lot of storms. My wife is a seasoned hurricane veteran also being from south Louisiana.
