The Atlantic Hurricane season is currently defined as the time frame from June 1 through November 30, though it can start sooner or last longer depending on certain weather conditions, such as water temperature. In the past the season was defined during a shorter time frame. May 25, 2017 - Forecasters at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center say the Atlantic could see another above-normal hurricane season this year.
For the upcoming Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 through November 30, forecasters predict a 45 percent chance of an above-normal season, a 35 percent chance of a near-normal season, and only a 20 percent chance of a below-normal season. "As a Florida resident, I am particularly proud of the important work NOAA does in weather forecasting and hurricane prediction," said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross. "These forecasts are important for both public safety and business planning, and are a crucial function of the federal government." Forecasters predict a 70 percent likelihood of 11 to 17 named storms (winds of 39 mph or higher), of which 5 to 9 could become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher), including 2 to 4 major hurricanes (Category 3, 4 or 5; winds of 111 mph or higher). An average season produces 12 named storms of which six become hurricanes, including three major hurricanes. These numbers include Tropical Storm Arlene, a rare pre-season storm that formed over the eastern Atlantic in April.

This kind of article is what should really be posted because we all know that this will help us prepare for what is coming. Hurricane incidents are not a joke. These kind of situations must be taken seriously so that we will be able to know what to do if the situation is already in front of us. I believe that seminars should be conducted as well to help people understand what they need to know about hurricane. I would like to thank the people behind this article because I believe that you are helping us big time.
