Experts are warning of an "extremely active" Atlantic hurricane season this year, with predictions of nearly two dozen named tropical storms, including 11 hurricanes, fueled by record ocean warmth and atmospheric patterns. The forecast, released by hurricane researchers from Colorado State University, comes with high confidence and includes the highest predictions in 40 years. Factors such as historic warmth across Atlantic surface waters and the potential development of a La Niña global climate pattern are driving expectations of a busy season, raising the odds for landfalling storms in the United States.

Reflecting on the Intense 2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season

The 2023 Atlantic hurricane season, one of the busiest on record, saw most storms veering into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean due to weak high pressure caused by record-high ocean temperatures. With El Niño expected to end next year and global temperatures rising, experts predict a potentially more active hurricane season in 2024, raising uncertainty for the United States. While this season had 20 named storms, only three made landfall in the US. The 2023 Eastern Pacific hurricane season also ended with several impactful storms, including two of the strongest hurricanes to hit Mexico's Pacific coast.
