The 2023 Atlantic hurricane season will be "close to normal," says the U.S. Weather Service.
It could develop between 12 and 17 storms (with winds of more than 62 km / h) Between five and nine could become hurricanes (more than 119 km/h), including between one and four category 3 or more. In 2022, Hurricane Ian in particular devastated Florida, claiming dozens of lives and alone caused more than $100 billion in damage -- by far the world's costliest weather disaster last year.
