We fight, We win
Seasonal forecasts continue to call for a hyperactive Atlantic hurricane season in 2020.
The latest outlook released Thursday by The Weather Company, an IBM Business, forecasts 20 named storms, eight of which are expected to become hurricanes, and four of those hurricanes becoming major hurricanes – Category 3 or higher (115-plus-mph winds) on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.
This forecast is well above the 30-year (1981-2010) average of 13 named storms, seven hurricanes and three major hurricanes. It also includes the six named storms that have already formed this season through Fay, so they expect another 14 named storms to form through the end of the hurricane season.
In other words, if hurricane season started today and we didn't already have six named storms, we would still have an above average hurricane season if the forecast pans out.
