2012 Hurricane Season Forecast
The 2012 hurricane season is quickly approaching. Beginning June 1st and lasting until November 20th, the Atlantic hurricane season is being predicted to be a tame season. Hurricane experts Phil Klotzbach and William Gray of Colorado State University have stated that the 2012 season should be considerably slower than normal with 10 named storms, including four hurricanes (two major).
Although a mild season is expected, that doesn’t necessarily mean mild storms are expected. Even if the season has only one hurricane, the hurricane could still be extremely dangerous. 1992 is recorded as being one of the least active hurricane seasons ever; nonetheless, the season brought forth Hurricane Andrew, a category 5 hurricane that caused $26 billion of damage. If you live in an area that is prone to hurricane and tropical storm activity, be prepared.

Expecting a Busy 2011 Hurricane Season
With the 2011 Atlantic Hurricane season upon us in 108 days, we thought we'd offer you a 2010 hurricane summary as well as current outlooks for the 2011 season.
The 2010 season was one of the most active on record with the most significant impact occurring across the Caribbean and Latin America. The 2010 season actually tied the 1995 and 1887 Atlantic Hurricane Seasons as third largest number of named storms. The 2010 season also ties the 1969 Atlantic Hurricane Season for second largest amount of hurricanes. In addition, the activity in the north Atlantic in 2010 exceeded the activity in the northwest Pacific Typhoon season. The only other known time this event happened was in 2005. Much of this hurricane activity is attributed to the effects of La Nina.
To summarize the 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Season:
Total Depressions: 21
Total Storms: 19
Total Hurricanes: 12 of which 5 were considered Major (category 3 or higher)
Total Damage: At least $11.424 billion USD
Total Fatalities: 259 direct, 23 indirect
The five hurricanes that reached major hurricane status were Danielle, Earl, Igor, Julia and Karl respectively.

La Nina Announced just as Hurricane Peak Season Begins
Yesterday, August 5, 2010, the NOAA announced that La Nina is officially in action over the Pacific Ocean. In addition, the NOAA stated that they are still expecting an active hurricane season!
In two of our recent posts, "What's all this talk about La Nina?" and "Busy Hurricane Season? Let us not forget the past!", we discussed how experts were warning of La Nina conditions forming and how that might increase hurricane activity over the Atlantic. We also looked back at the past patterns of serious hurricanes and how many of them formed during "peak" season - late August.
In the NOAA's article, they state "With the season’s peak just around the corner – late August through October – the need for preparedness plans is essential."
In addition, the NOAA states, "“All indications are for considerable activity during the next several months,” said Gerry Bell, Ph.D., lead seasonal hurricane forecaster at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center. “As we’ve seen in past years, storms can come on quickly during the peak months of the season. There remains a high likelihood that the season could be very active, with the potential of being one of the more active on record.”
The NOAA predicts that climate factors such as warmer-than-average water in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean, and the tropical multi-decadal signal, which since 1995 has brought favorable ocean and atmospheric conditions in unison, lead to more active seasons.
We encourage everyone to stay prepared in the event that the predictions come to fruition. We might have a tendency to figure, just because the season is slow right now, that we have nothing to worry about. Nonetheless, it is always wise to stay prepared.

Busy Hurricane Season? Let us not forget the past.
Nearing in on the end of July, we are closely watching a disturbance in the Caribbean, just of Puerto Rico & The Virgin Islands. According to the National Hurricane Center, there is a 60% chance of the system developing into a Tropical Depression. The heavy rains are expected to affect The Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, The Dominican Republic, Haiti, Eastern Cuba, Turks & Caicos Islands and the Southeastern Bahamas. We are watching closely to see if the conditions, which are favorable enough to cause a Tropical Depression to form, might be equally favorable for a hurricane to form.
Experts are continuing to expect a busy hurricane season. “Conditions are favorable” are a term you might hear often. Why are conditions so favorable for hurricane development? First, ocean waters are warm. Hurricanes need waters to be at 79 degrees or above; coastal temperatures are consistently above that right now at temperatures of 84 and above just in the Gulf of Mexico. Temperatures in the Caribbean and Tropical Atlantic are also in the 80′s and many are above-average. As well, experts are expecting low winds in the upcoming months, creating atmospheric conditions extremely favorable for hurricane development.
As for the limited storms so far, let us remember that the 3 strongest hurricane’s to hit the USA during the 20th Century did not occur until mid season.
The first of the 3 was the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935. The second tropical cyclone of the season, it quickly became the second hurricane and the 20th century’s first most powerful Category 5 hurricane. It formed on August 29 and dissipated on September 10, 1935. Marked as the most destructive Atlantic hurricane of the 20th Century, The Labor Day Hurricane killed between 400-600 people and caused extreme damage to the upper Florida Keys. Damages from the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 were tallied at over $95 Billion (2010 USD).
The second most powerful hurricane of the 20th century was Hurricane Camille in 1969. Forming on August 14, 1969 and dissipating on August 22, Camille devastated a great part of the Southwest. Although less costly than both the Labor Day Hurricane and Andrew, Camille was responsible for the deaths of 259 people.
Finally, Hurricane Andrew. Even in a seemingly inactive season during 1992, Hurricane Andrew, the third most powerful Category 5, formed August 16, 1992, and dissipated August 28. Andrew caused most damage to SW Florida, at a grand total of $26.5 billion in damage ($41.1 billion 2010 USD)!!! Some sources even speculate the damage was closer to $34 billion.
Even when we look back to 2005, the 21st Century’s busiest hurricane season to date, Hurricane Katrina, which was one of the most deadliest and also the costliest hurricanes, occurred in August.
Let us beware and remember the past as we are prepared for the future. To your hurricane safety!
