This year's hurricane season in the Atlantic will be "explosive".
According to AccuWeather meteorologists, there is the possibility of a record number of storms arriving: from June to November a "supercharged" season of at least 25 storms, with about ten hurricanes, is preparing, far more violent than a typical year, which records an average of 14 storms.
“The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season is expected to be well above historical averages in the number of tropical storms, hurricanes, major hurricanes and direct-impact hurricanes in the United States,” said Alex DaSilva, AccuWeather's chief hurricane forecaster. Last hurricane season saw 19 named storms, but only four with direct impact on the United States. Hurricane Idalia, which hit Florida as a powerful Category 3 hurricane in late August, was the worst. Tropical storm Harold instead flooded southern Texas, while Ophelia hit North Carolina. Tropical Storm Lee hit the coast of New England before making landfall in Nova Scotia, Canada.
