The beginning of 2022\u2019s hurricane season has been quiet, but is that an indication of things to come? While the rest of the country has been reeling from drought, fire, and heat, Florida has been quietly enjoying the summer heat without the threat of hurricanes, or even tropical disturbances. But the experts agree that will change in the coming months.<\/p>\n
The NOAA\u2019s forecast<\/a>, released in May, called for the Atlantic Hurricane season to be busy. They anticipated 14-21 named storms and 6 -10 hurricanes, with 3 – 5 of those becoming major weather events.<\/p>\n Come August 1st, we\u2019ve only marked Alex, Bonnie, & Colin off the infamous list of named storms. Colin made landfall as a low along the eastern seaboard. Alex and Bonnie did not make landfall in the continental US. Overall, it\u2019s been a quiet season, partly thanks to an influx of Saharan dust.<\/p>\n The NOAA issued a revised forecast<\/a> in early August. It still decries an active hurricane season. Numbers have been lessened ever so slightly, with named storms being decreased by just one, anticipating 14-20. Hurricane and major hurricane numbers remain the same. Compare that to the average of 14 named storms, 7 hurricanes, 3 of which are major, and the season is still well above average.<\/p>\n \u201cWhile we are now two months into the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season, about 90% of all hurricanes and 95% of major hurricanes in the Atlantic occur after the 1st of August, on average,\u201d said Phil Klotzbach, a research scientist at Colorado State<\/a>.<\/p>\n
