If it’s not one thing, it’s another. Hurricane season is quickly approaching, and if the predictions are true, we are in for a doozy of a season. While there’s no telling for sure how many storms we will see or where they will make landfall, everything is lining up for one incredibly active hurricane season, and you’ll want to be prepared.

Hurricane season runs from June through November, and if the predictions are true, then we are in for a heavy hitter of a season.

According to an outlook released by The Weather Company, the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season is predicted to be more active than previous years.
They’re predicting 18 named storms, nine hurricanes, and four major hurricanes, with one that is a Category 3 or higher.

That’s a significant jump from previous years where the average for the past 30 years has been 13 named storms, seven hurricanes, and three major hurricanes.
The study is based on a number of factors, including sea-surface temperatures, La Nina, and past hurricane seasons with similar conditions.

Just because it may be an active season, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be a catastrophic season.
