Re: HURRICANE/TS -NOAA WARNS Above-Normal 2022 Season
NOAA Predicts Above-Normal 2022 Atlantic Hurricane Season
Ongoing La Niña, Above-Average Atlantic Temperatures Set The Stage For busy Season Ahead
The Atlantic Hurricane Season lasts from 1 June 1 to 30 Nov.
NOAA 23 JUN 2022
Forecasters at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, a division of the National Weather Service, are predicting above-average hurricane activity this year — which would make it the seventh consecutive above-average hurricane season.
NOAA’s outlook for the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season, which extends from June 1 to November 30, predicts a 65% chance of an above-normal season, a 25% chance of a near-normal season and a 10% chance of a below-normal season.
For the 2022 hurricane season, NOAA is forecasting a likely range of 14 to 21 named storms (winds of 39 mph or higher), of which 6 to 10 could become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher), including 3 to 6 major hurricanes (category 3, 4 or 5; with winds of 111 mph or higher). NOAA provides these ranges with a 70% confidence.
