The eighth anniversary of Katrina in New Orleans marks the start of peak hurricane season. Forecasters warn conditions are ripe for storms as communities brace for possible impacts this season.
The season runs June 1 to November 30 with peak activity August to October. Six named storms so far exceed average, but none reached hurricane strength. Andrea made landfall early in June. NOAA projects 13 to 19 named storms, six to nine hurricanes, and up to five major hurricanes, echoing 2005 Katrina which rose in intensity after August 29 and forecasted three of the most powerful storms Wilma Rita Katrina.
The article notes September typically brings peak hurricane activity as sea surface temperatures reach 82 degrees or higher from the Cape Verde region to the Gulf of Mexico. Dust from the Sahara and other indicators align with storms forming, keeping experts cautious that activity remains high despite hopes for a quieter period. Gerry Bell of NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center comments on ongoing activity.
