The 2023 hurricane season is at the halfway mark for both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, with Pacific storms surprisingly affecting the U.S. more than the Atlantic storms so far.
With the recent tropical storms in California and Texas, attention has shifted to the second half of hurricane season in the Atlantic and Pacific. Here is what to expect for the rest of the hurricane season in both oceans, which does not end until Nov. 30.Despite the first named storm of the season, Tropical Storm Arlene, forming in May before the official start of hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean, the first storm to make landfall in the U.S. did not come until Aug.
The NOAA now predicts there will be 14-21 named storms, which is a tropical storm or stronger, and 6-11 hurricanes, which are defined by having sustained winds of 74 mph or higher. There have been eight named storms and nine storms that have reached tropical storm strength in the Atlantic Basin this year.The central Pacific hurricane season was predicted to be"above-normal" by the NOAA in May, expecting a more active season than in recent years. The predictions posted by the NOAA showed a 50% chance of an"above-normal" season.
