Those storms carry winds greater than 110 mph.The forecast follows last year's above-average season, in which hurricanes Florence and Michael slammed US coastlines with devastating effect.
— NOAA Communications May 23, 2019 Though the Atlantic storm period doesn't start until next week, this year's season already has gotten started, with Subtropical Storm Andrea forming Monday near Bermuda.The short-lived storm made this the fifth consecutive year that a named storm has formed before the season's official start, raising questions about the impact of climate change and whether the time frame should begin sooner.
What is El Niño? 01:56A persistent El Nino is expected to suppress the intensity of the hurricane season, Jacobs said. But warmer-than-average sea-surface temperatures in the tropical Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, as well as enhanced storm activity moving off West Africa, would favor increased activity, he said. El Niño has a 55% to 60% chance of continuing through the fall.
