Atlantic Hurricane Activity: Could we see an increase now El Nino has ended?

Previous Page

News Intro

August 8, 2019 – NOAA announced today that the current El Nino in the Pacific Ocean has ended and neutral conditions have returned. This now increases the possibility of above-normal hurricane activity in the Atlantic this year.

The apocalyptic destruction of Great Harbour and all JVD caused by the high winds and sea surges of Hurricane Irma – a truly historic event

The peak months of the Atlantic hurricane season are now underway (August to October) and although so far the season has only seen two named storms, NOAA forecasters predict a more lively season ahead.

“El Nino typically suppresses Atlantic hurricane activity but now that it’s gone, we could see a busier season ahead,” said Gerry Bell, Ph.D., lead seasonal hurricane forecaster at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center. “This evolution, combined with the more conducive conditions associated with the ongoing high-activity era for Atlantic hurricanes that began in 1995, increases the likelihood of above-normal activity this year.”

The increased likelihood of an above-normal Atlantic hurricane season has risen to 45% (from a 30% prediction in May). 

The number of predicted storms is also greater.

The six-month hurricane season ends on Nov. 30.
