"2024 Hurricane Season Forecast: Potential Threats and Implications for Coastal Regions"

Colorado State University's first outlook for the 2024 hurricane season predicts around 23 named storms in the Atlantic basin, with nearly half becoming hurricanes. The report highlights states and regions with above or below average chances of a cyclone passing through, with the highest odds for a strike in the Caribbean. Landfall probabilities are linked to the expected Accumulated Cyclone Energy, which is forecasted to be 170% of an average season. The switch to La Niña this year may lead to storms coming farther west and into the Caribbean, potentially affecting the Gulf and Florida.

Cyclone Freddy's Devastating Impact on Southern Africa.

Cyclone Freddy, which hit the coast of southern Africa for a second time over the weekend, has broken at least one record and could break two more, meteorologists say. It holds the record for most accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) of any storm in the southern hemisphere and possibly worldwide. Freddy may have broken the record for longest-lasting tropical cyclone on record, and appears to have broken the world record for the most bouts of rapid intensification. As climate change causes warmer oceans, heat energy from the water's surface is fuelling stronger storms.
