Experts Predict More Hurricanes On Their Way
With the peak of hurricane season coming up around September 10, many are wondering whether the number of hurricanes are likely to decrease in the coming weeks. After all, the southeastern part of the U.S. is surely in need of a reprieve.
Not likely to happen soon, says experts.
Hurricane experts say that all the necessary components for a hurricane formation are in abundance right now. The water temperatures are warmer than usual and the wind patterns are ripe for strong tropical storms and hurricanes. We have already seen 10 named storms this season, the average number of storms for an entire season!
U.S. residents should be preparing for more hurricanes in the coming month and begin making preparations for flooding, winds and power outtages. Experts are predicting that this September will have nearly twice as many hurricanes as a typical September hurricane season.
