September Will Have As Many As Ten Huge Atlantic Storms

September will be an usually active period of violent storms in the Atlantic. If this happens, the forecasts of a record storm season may come true

According to AccuWeather, “Water temperatures are near or at record-high levels across much of the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico.” Warm ocean water is among the primary reasons for hurricanes. AccuWeather forecasts six to ten named storms for the period from August 27 to September 30.

What Is A Named Storm?

A named storm is identified as “A tropical storm is a type of weather system that forms over tropical waters and has sustained wind speeds of 39 miles per hour or higher.” It must also be given a name by the National Hurricane Center.

AccuWeather Lead Hurricane Expert Alex DaSilva commented “We could see a parade of storms developing during the month of September. There’s a possibility that we could see multiple tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic basin on the same day, similar to the frequency of storms that we’ve seen during other supercharged hurricane seasons like 2020.” It may be too late to reverse some climate change.

NOAA Forecast

The forecast largely mirrors the NOAA forecast for hurricane season. The government organization said experts at “the Climate Prediction Center predict above-normal hurricane activity in the Atlantic basin this year. NOAA’s outlook for the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, which spans from June 1 to November 30, predicts an 85% chance of an above-normal season.”

The financial consequences of a heavy storm season are what they have been for decades. A large hurricane can cause billions of dollars in destruction, some portion of which is not insured. Hurricane Beryl has already shown that this year. Miami would have been ruined by Beryl.
