So, I just read this article titled “First Atlantic hurricane season forecast issued on the same day as El Niño watch” on CNN and I am freaking out! Basically, hurricane season is coming and this forecast is predicting a busy one. On top of that, they’ve also issued an El Niño watch which could mean even more storms.
The article explains that the forecast is predicting 17 named storms, eight hurricanes, and four major hurricanes. And if that wasn’t enough, they’re also saying there’s a 60% chance of an above-normal hurricane season. Yikes!
I don’t know about you, but I’ve lived through a hurricane before and it was NOT a fun time. My family and I had to evacuate and it was just so stressful. So, this forecast is really hitting home for me.
The article also gives some background on how these predictions are made and how important it is for people in hurricane-prone areas to prepare. They mention things like making sure you have enough supplies, securing your home, and having a plan in case you need to evacuate.
Overall, this article is a reminder that hurricane season is serious business and we should all be taking it seriously. As someone who has been through it before, I can tell you that it’s not something you want to mess around with. Stay safe out there, folks!
