"Florida Braces for Hyperactive 2024 Hurricane Season with Increased Preparations"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by USA TODAY
NOAA has forecasted an "extraordinary" 2024 Atlantic hurricane season with up to 25 named storms, the highest number ever predicted in a preseason outlook. This active season is attributed to record warm Atlantic waters and a potential La Niña climate pattern. Other forecasters, including Colorado State University and the UK Met Office, also predict an unusually active season. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, with peak activity from mid-August to mid-October.
