The official start of the tropical storm and hurricane season in the Atlantic and Caribbean waters is a little more than three months away. With the strong El Niño starting to weaken along the equatorial regions, many forecasters that specialize in sea-surface temperatures are indicating the increasing chances of another active season.
Based on the 30-year average from 1991 to 2020, there is a new average of about 14 named storms. Seven of 14 storms, on average, will form as hurricanes with three of them becoming major hurricanes. Sept. 10 is the approximate peak of the tropical storm and hurricane season which officially begins June 1 and ends Nov. 30.
