Here are the names for the hurricanes this year. Based on the names alone, which sounds the most terrifying? 2023 storm names: Arlene Bret Cindy Don Emily Franklin Gert Harold Idalia Jose Katia Lee Margot Nigel Ophelia Philippe Rina Sean Tammy Vince Whitney Gert and Idalia get my vote.
Its pretty average TBH. These storms will likely turn north long before they hit shore. Its the late August and September storms that are a concern. Here in FL, its obvious when hurricane season is in full swing. We start getting our daily thunderstorms. Last year the thunderstorms didn't start until early July. This year it was late may. Winter and Spring were extremely dry this year. I suspect the bulk of the hurricanes to wrap up sometime mid September with a couple stragglers in October leading to an earlier winter.
Yeah they're rare. I don't start prepping until later, but it always "officially" begins in or around the start of June. Where I work we always have to take courses on hurricane prep every year.
If one is interested, it is worth the read. A search in News for atlantic water temperatures will provides similar writeups. https://www.vox.com/climate/2376252...rd-heat-wave-el-nino-hurricane-climate-change The world’s oceans are extremely hot. We’re about to find out what happens next. Unprecedented Atlantic Ocean heating and El Niño in the Pacific are pushing the climate into uncharted territory.
Bump..... Tropical weather potential next week. Very small chance, but fingers crossed it brings us much needed rain. That hot water is scary though....
I remember during that horrible 2011 summer heat/drought a tropical storm was making landfall south of Corpus and it just evaporated as it made landfall in drought-stricken Texas.
