NHC Monitoring Multiple Tropical Waves, Potential for July Hurricane in Florida
The tropics are currently quiet, but forecasters are monitoring three tropical waves as unusually high water temperatures in the Atlantic could lead to more tropical cyclones than originally forecasted. Activity may pick up in mid-July, and experts are predicting a more active hurricane season due to the warming of the eastern Atlantic and the wavering strength of El Niño. It is still too early to determine if the tropical waves will impact the US, but residents are urged to stay prepared and monitor the tropics. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, with the peak of the season occurring on September 10.
