Will this year's predictions of an above average hurricane season be correct? What is making these hurricanes so strong? What can I do to prepare if my house is in the path of a hurricane? Get the answers to these key questions below!
2024 Hurricane Season We are officially in the "calm before the storm" phase. Everyone has seen the NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration and Colorado State University predictions of an above-average Atlantic hurricane season, and now we wait to see whether or not they are correct. The main reason for the high number of storms expected has to do with ENSO, El Nino-Southern Oscillation, and the changes to the global atmospheric circulation which impact temperatures and precipitation levels. Recently, the pattern shifted from El Nino, a warming of ocean surface temps in the Pacific ocean, to ENSO Neutral, neither El Nino or La Nina where tropical Pacific ocean temps are near normal. The big reason forecasts are calling for an above average storm season is due to the predicted shift from ENSO Neutral to La Nina later in the summer. The La Nina pattern leads to a cooling in the Pacific ocean surface temps and subsequently less hurricane activity in the East Pacific.... BUT above average hurricane activity in the Atlantic ocean due to: - Weaker vertical wind shear & trade wins -Less atmospheric stability The property insurance market benefitted from a quiet Hurricane season last year. We'll see what happens if this year's predictions are correct..... #insurance #propertyinsurance #realestate #multifamily #hurricanes
