For 2024, NOAA predicts a very high likelihood (85% chance) of an above-normal Atlantic hurricane season with -
17-25 named storms (average is 14)
8-13 hurricanes (average 7)
4-7 major hurricanes (average 3)
The primary drivers -
1. La Niña caused reduction in wind shear over the Atlantic Basin
2. Above normal sea surface temps in the tropical Atlantic region
3. Stronger West African Monsoon
All fed by Climate Change.
