“#Hurricane season to be busier than 1st thought<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

After a record start, followed by a near-silent July, the Atlantic hurricane season looks like it will be busier than meteorologists predicted a few months ago.<\/p>\n

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on Wednesday updated\u00a0its outlook<\/a>\u00a0for the 2021 Atlantic season, slightly increasing the number of named storms and hurricanes expected in what is predicted to be a busy \u2014 but not record-breaking \u2014 year.<\/p>\n

The agency is now forecasting 15 to 21 named storms instead of the 13 to 20 it\u00a0predicted in May<\/a>. Meteorologists also said the number of expected hurricanes is seven to 10, instead of six to 10.<\/p>\n

The chance for an above average hurricane season increased from 60 percent to 65 percent, with a 15 percent chance that forecasters will run past the list of 21 storm names. Last year saw a record 30 named storms and forecasters had to use Greek letters by the end of the season.<\/p>\n

A reduction in high level cross winds, normal to slightly warmer sea temperatures, increased rains in Africa where seeds of stronger storms start, a possible cooling of the central Pacific and a general<\/a> period of high storm activity since 1995 are reasons for a busy season, said lead forecaster Matthew Rosencrans.<\/p>\n

Colorado State University, which pioneered hurricane seasonal forecasts, last month\u00a0also increased<\/a>\u00a0the number of storms expected in its forecast.<\/p>\n

In early July, soon-to-be Hurricane Elsa formed and was the\u00a0earliest fifth named storm on record<\/a>, beating a mark set last year. Elsa also formed in the eastern Caribbean and history shows that years when storms develop in eastern Caribbean in June or July it tends to be a busy season, Rosencrans said.<\/p>\n

Hurricane season lasts through the end of November, with its peak running from mid-August to mid-October.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
