Hurricane Season's Deceptive Calmness Unveiled
The Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1st to November 30th, is typically a period of high activity. However, this year has been far from the norm.
Only one hurricane, Hurricane Erin, made an appearance in August, marking a significant departure from the usual hurricane activity. Hurricane Erin, with wind speeds exceeding 120 kilometers per hour, was the only hurricane to grace the Atlantic this season.
Despite Erin's presence, the peak of this year's hurricane season between North America and Europe was a flop. No hurricane this season has reached wind speeds over 300 kilometers per hour, a first in recent memory.
Hurricane Erin quickly faded from memory as it only grazed coasts, causing minimal damage. As a result, none of the tropical depressions or storms this season were comparable to feared hurricanes with wind speeds over 120 kilometers per hour.
The National Weather Service (NWS), the organisation responsible for warnings about hurricanes in the United States, has issued forecasts and alerts about the hurricane season. However, their alerts have been few and far between this year.
As of mid-September, the list of hurricanes in the Atlantic was remarkably short. Half a dozen tropical depressions and as many tropical storms occurred during the hurricane season, but none have been as significant or impactful as feared hurricanes can be.
In conclusion, the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season has been unusually quiet. With only one hurricane, Hurricane Erin, making an appearance, the season has been a relief for many coastal communities. However, it is important to remember that even during quiet seasons, it is crucial to remain vigilant and prepared for any potential storms.
