During the Atlantic Hurricane Season, hurricane tracks change monthly, generally following the same pattern year after year. But why?
With this Saharan dust suppressing the tropics for a moment, it’s a good time to talk about why hurricane tracks differ throughout the hurricane season.
During the Atlantic Hurricane Season, hurricane tracks change monthly, generally following the same pattern year after year. That means certain areas in the tropics tend to see a higher number of storms during certain parts of the season. Throughout July, hurricanes tend to track into the Gulf and Caribbean, but as the season progresses, those tracks tend to move eastward into the Eastern Gulf and the Atlantic.Hurricane Beryl, the first hurricane of the 2024 season, began its formation in the Eastern Atlantic but tracked south toward the Caribbean and curved into the Yucatan Peninsula, ultimately making landfall in Texas as a Category 1 hurricane.Well, the short answer is steering flow.
So during this time of the year, it’s likely to see the majority of hurricane tracks in the Caribbean and Gulf, where waters are warmer.In the later parts of the season, when the Atlantic is warmer, you start to see tracks shift toward the eastern Atlantic.But once a storm system organizes into a tropical cyclone what moves it along?A stronger Bermuda High leads to hurricanes that push further west before they curve north.
