CNN - The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season isn’t here yet, but is already shaping up to be one for the books, with more hurricanes and named storms predicted in a pre-season forecast from Colorado State University than ever before.
This June through November could see 23 named storms in all, including 11 hurricanes and five Category 3 or higher “major” hurricanes, according to the university’s Atlantic hurricane season forecast, released Thursday.
“This is the most active April forecast that we have ever issued,” lead forecaster Phil Klotzbach told CNN. “Our prior highest hurricane forecast in April was 9 hurricanes, which we have called for several times” since the forecasts began in 1995.

We have been spared since we’re in the middle of the state. But even Orlando suffered severe flooding which is unusual.
These people are never right.
I would put more faith in a Magic 8 Ball......................
It’s an election year so absolutely there must be far more hurricanes which of course are caused by not enough EVs and gas stoves.
Yeah, just like last year, and the year before, and the years before that... every year, and when it doesn’t co e to fruition, no big deal, just keep sou di g the alarm until one year there are more, and then they can scream “SEE? WE TOLD YOU ALL, bit you wouldnt beleive us you climate deniers you!”
They say this every year——eventually, it will be “that year” and they’ll claim “Ah ha-—see...see...global warming is real and we predicted it”!
Trump better sell Mar a Lago STAT! On the other hand.....
The average Atlantic hurricane season has 14 named storms, seven hurricanes and three major hurricanes.
I’m so frightened! I’m voting for Biden!

Record breaking season - Biblical - beyond prediction - blah, blah, blah sky is falling.
“I think i can, I think I can, I think I can.....”
Losers chant this when they know they did not before and have no chance now. But, like mindless lemmings they have no idea how to do anytheing else.
Mark Twain said there are three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies and statistics. In recent years NHC has taken to naming every cluster of thunderstorms as a tropical system to try and self-fulfill their prophecies.
They quietly revised downward the windspeeds necessary for tropical storm and hurricane designation. Back in the 70s, a tropical storm was 40+ mph and a hurricane was 75+ mph wind. Now it’s 39 mph and 74 mph.
Then they started using the “Saffir-Simpson” category system to label storms instead of just talking about their wind speed and damage, if any. Now we have the horrifying spectre of “major” hurricanes, Cat 3 and above, even if they come nowhere near land.
All this statistical over-analysis has one goal: to induce fear and thus compliance in the hearts and minds of the sheeple. An unfortunate side effect is that insurance rates in coastal areas are through the roof (pardon the pun) even in areas where there has been negligible hurricane activity for decades.
And of course, it is all due to “climate change” caused by the greedy fossil fuel companies raping the earth. As the brainwashed Gen X and Millennial generations take over the judiciary, I am predicting jury verdicts and judgments against oil and gas companies for hurricane damage, and possibly criminal indictments of the folks who provide fuel for your cars, power plants and industrial society.
just like last year...and then nothing happened. They say the same thing every year...and then finally they get an active year, then say “SEE...TOLD YA SO”....idiots.
We must act now before it is too late again.
Don’t they kind of do this every year?
This El Niño year has seen lots of disruptive systems moving west to east which— I predict with 1000% certainty/s — will disrupt summer activities, as well.
No hurricanes on the east coast. Maybe one in the Gulf. Book it....but at your own risk since my guesses have proven about as good as theirs.
Bottom line...nobody knows.
I did read, however, that Joe Bastardi of Weather Bell sees similarities to some past busy years. He advises businesses and would be classified as a professional forecaster, rather than an academic doom-sayer.
Since these knuckleheads are never accurate, howcome they never are required to explain why? Or required to justify their big salary in light of their predictions being useless?
I just got done with two days of Spring climate change here in southern NH. 9” of wet heavy snow at my house.
Others had 1-2 feet.
Snow was so wet and heavy that many of us lost power. Including me for most of yesterday. So, I caused even more global warming by running my gasoline generator for 12 hours yesterday.
I am lucky. There are still more than 100K customers in NH without power.
Years ago it was found the Weather Service was just guessing at the number and strength of the storms being predicted.
I never believed a word about such predictions since.
Remember the National Geographic cover of Aug 2006 predicting KILLER HURRICANES in the future? Those next years had mild hurricanes.
