Experts fear an already active hurricane season could come to an eventful and exceptional end as unusually warm, storm-boosting ocean temperatures and a slow-to-emerge El Niño combine.
The Atlantic season and its 18 named storms has already been above average, according to Phil Klotzbach, a hurricane researcher with Colorado State University. But October usually signals changes in activity and the areas where storms form. The first half of October is typically the final stretch of the busiest time of the Atlantic hurricane season. The number of storms usually begins to drop off quickly toward the end of October and craters by the time the season ends on November 30.
On balance, the warmer ocean temperatures and weaker winds are winning, and more storms have been able to form than would otherwise be possible in a typical El Niño year, Klotzbach previously told CNN. This clash is expected to continue into October and November. “Usually as we get into the back half of the hurricane season, El Niño tends to dominate, even if the Atlantic is warm.
