Hurricane Season: NOAA's 2024 Forecast | Echo-Sigma
As experts in emergency preparedness, we at Echo-Sigma always keep a close eye on potential threats to our customers' safety. The recent announcement from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) about the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season has caught our attention, and we believe it's crucial to share this information with our community.
NOAA's 2024 Hurricane Season Forecast
According to NOAA's latest report, the Atlantic hurricane season is expected to be highly active, continuing the trend we've seen in recent years. Here are the key points from their forecast:
- NOAA predicts a 65% chance of an above-normal season
- 14-21 named storms are expected (winds of 39 mph or higher)
- 6-11 of these could become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher)
- 3-6 major hurricanes are possible (Category 3, 4, or 5; winds of 111 mph or higher)
These numbers are significantly higher than the average season, which typically sees 14 named storms, 7 hurricanes, and 3 major hurricanes.
