NOAA Predicts Above-Normal 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season
La Nina And Warmer-Than-Average Ocean Temperatures Are Major Drivers of Tropical Activity
NOAA National Weather Service forecasters at the Climate Prediction Center predict above-normal hurricane
activity in the Atlantic basin this year. NOAA's outlook for the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, which spans
from June 1 to November 30, predicts an 85% chance of an above-normal season, a 10% chance of a near-normal
season and a 5% chance of a below-normal season.
NOAA is forecasting a range of 17 to 25 total named storms (winds of 39 mph or higher). Of those, 8 to 13 are
forecast to become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher), including 4 to 7 major hurricanes (category 3, 4
or 5; with winds of 111 mph or higher). Forecasters have a 70% confidence in these ranges.
The upcoming Atlantic hurricane season is expected to have above-normal activity due to a confluence of
factors, including near-record warm ocean temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean, development of La Nina
conditions in the Pacific, reduced Atlantic trade winds and less wind shear, all of which tend to favor
tropical storm formation.
"With another active hurricane season approaching, NOAA's commitment to keeping every American informed with
life-saving information is unwavering," said NOAA Administrator Rick Spinrad, Ph.D. "AI-enabled language
translations and a new depiction of inland wind threats in the forecast cone are just two examples of the
proactive steps our agency is taking to meet our mission of saving lives and protecting property."
"Severe weather and emergencies can happen at any moment, which is why individuals and communities need to be
prepared today," said FEMA Deputy Administrator Erik A. Hooks. "Already, we are seeing storms move across the
country that can bring additional hazards like tornadoes, flooding and hail. Taking a proactive approach to
our increasingly challenging climate landscape today can make a difference in how people can recover
tomorrow."
