Hurricane Season's Perplexing Quietude Unveiled
The Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to November 30, has been remarkably quiet so far, with only a handful of tropical depressions and storms recorded up to mid-September. The season's most notable event was the passage of Hurricane 'Erin' in August, which grazed the coasts before quickly dissipating. Despite its presence, 'Erin' was not as destructive as feared hurricanes that can reach wind speeds over 300 kilometers per hour. Its wind speeds, however, did exceed 120 kilometers per hour. Half a dozen tropical depressions and as many as a dozen tropical storms were recorded during the hurricane season. However, none of these were comparable to feared hurricanes with wind speeds over 120 kilometers per hour. The specific details about the destructiveness of these recorded tropical depressions and storms were not provided. The expectation of a significant share of hurricanes during the hurricane season was primarily forecasted and communicated by meteorological authorities and experts, including the U.S. National Hurricane Center, and climate scientists monitoring phenomena like La Niña, which enhances the conditions for hurricane formation in the tropical Atlantic. This can lead to more and stronger hurricanes that can indirectly impact Europe via a warm North Atlantic. Some social media commentators have described the hurricane season between North America and Europe as a flop, given the low number of hurricanes compared to the forecasts. However, it's important to remember that the Atlantic hurricane season still has several weeks left, and unexpected storms can form at any time. As the hurricane season progresses, it's crucial to stay informed, heed any warnings, and prepare for potential impacts. Stay safe!
