Peak Atlantic Hurricane Season: Expectations and Uncertainty
The Atlantic hurricane season is at its peak around September 10, with activity expected to increase in the coming weeks despite current quiet conditions. Forecasters predict a rise in tropical cyclone development later in September and October due to favorable environmental factors, with NOAA forecasting above-normal activity and an increase in named storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes. Historically, late September and early October are among the most active periods for hurricanes, especially in the Caribbean and Gulf regions.
