Atlantic hurricane season expected to be more active


Get ready for a busy hurricane season in the Atlantic, as the NOAA’s National Hurricane Center has upgraded its prediction earlier this month. The chance of having more hurricanes than usual has gone up to 60% (from 30% before), while the chance of a regular season dropped to 25%. Based on these new predictions, this hurricane season we could see 14 to 21 storms (with winds strong enough to give the storm a name), of which 6 to 11 could become hurricanes, and 2 to 5 of those hurricanes might become major ones.
