Experts from the University of Pennsylvania are predicting that the upcoming Atlantic hurricane season will likely be exceptionally active, potentially breaking records. The forecast suggests a range of 27 to 39 named storms, with the most likely estimate being around 33 named storms.
This prediction from UPenn stands out for its aggressiveness compared to recent forecasts from other institutions such as Colorado State University and AccuWeather. The most active hurricane season on record was in 2020, which saw the development of 30 named storms.
The Atlantic hurricane season officially spans from June 1st to November 30th, during which meteorologists closely monitor tropical weather patterns and issue forecasts to help communities prepare for potential impacts.
The heightened prediction for named storms by UPenn experts underscores the need for coastal regions and authorities to stay vigilant and adequately prepare for the potential impacts of severe weather events, including hurricanes and tropical storms.
