Dozens of devastating storms: US residents face an unusually harsh hurricane season

The hurricane season officially begins on June 1 and lasts until November. For this year, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts a more intense than usual hurricane season in the Atlantic with 13-19 storms that will be named, writes NBC Miami.

NOAA meteorologists said 6 to 10 of those storms will become hurricanes, and 3 to 6 of them will become major hurricanes with wind speeds of 111 mph (nearly 180 kph) or higher.

NOAA says there is a 60 percent chance of an above-average season this year; 30 percent - will be almost the same as the average; and a 10% chance is left for storms to be below normal intensities. Typically, NOAA meteorologists update their forecasts in early August.

According to their data for May 2020, a combination of several climatic factors will lead to a high probability of exceeding the norm in the Atlantic hurricane season this year. In addition to the absence of El Niño, which usually leads to a stronger wind shear that can interrupt the storm, the sea surface temperature in the tropical Atlantic and the Caribbean is higher than usual.

“NOAA's analysis of current and seasonal atmospheric conditions shows a high likelihood of an active hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean this year,” said NOAA Administrator Neil Jacobs.

The hurricane season traditionally begins on June 1 and continues until November, but in the second week of May the first tropical storm called Arthur briefly appeared. As a result, 2020 was the sixth consecutive year when the hurricane season began in May, or even earlier.

The average annual statistics for the Atlantic basin are 12 storms with names, 6 hurricanes and 2 major major hurricanes.

Last year’s active season brought 18 storms with names and 6 hurricanes, including 3 major major hurricanes (Dorian, Umberto and Lorenzo). Hurricane Dorian hit the Bahamas with maximum sustained winds of 185 mph (about 300 km / h), storm surges and heavy rain.
