The early arrival of Hurricane Beryl, which caused at least 10 deaths and as much as $1 billion in damage, is a harbinger of a “hyperactive” Atlantic hurricane season, according to Colorado State University (CSU) as it increased its hurricane season estimate this week.

Following Hurricane Beryl, experts from Colorado State University, led by Dr. Phil Klotzbach, have revised their 2024 hurricane season projections. They now expect 25 named storms, including 12 hurricanes and six major hurricanes. This revised forecast indicates an extremely active Atlantic hurricane season for 2024. Warm sea surface temperatures in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean, coupled with favorable atmospheric conditions like reduced wind shear due to cool neutral ENSO or La Niña, are conducive to hurricane formation and intensification. Hurricane Beryl, a recent Category 5 storm, underscores the potential for a hyperactive season. The forecast carries high confidence, suggesting an increased probability of major hurricanes impacting the US coastline and Caribbean. Coastal residents are urged to prepare diligently, as even one hurricane landfall can define an active season.

According to the National Hurricane Center’s 11 a.m. ET advisory on Friday September 8th, Lee strengthened into a major Category 5 storm on Thursday. The storm has a maximum sustained wind speed of 165 mph and is expected to continue strengthening Friday as it makes its way across the Atlantic. The hurricane is currently located about 630 miles east of the northern Leeward Islands. “Additional strengthening is forecast today. Fluctuations in intensity are likely over the next few days, but Lee is expected to remain a major hurricane through early next week,” forecasters wrote in the update. The storm will likely reach its peak intensity by this weekend and is still expected to be a dangerous hurricane over the southwestern Atlantic early next week. However, it’s too soon to know whether this system will directly impact the US mainland. The Center said dangerous surf and rip currents will spread across the northern Caribbean on Friday and begin affecting the United States on Sunday. Even if Lee misses land, forecasters say swells generated by the storm "are expected to reach portions of the Lesser Antilles on Friday, and the British and U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico this weekend. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions."

🌀 RAPID INTENSIFICATION of Storms Due to Global Warming: this is fast increasing. Therefore we MUST increase our efforts to mitigate and prepare for severe storms, which are becoming more difficult to forecast. Hurricane Otis not only intensified with near record speed, it was also THE most powerful hurricane to make landfall on Eastern Pacific shores. See, 👉 https://lnkd.in/grPk3JwG Rapid intensification is indisputable proof of the effects of anthropogenic climate change on tropical cyclones. This is discussed further by several more meteorologists/ climatologists in this study published at Nature .com 👉 https://lnkd.in/gaaPfcWT Excerpt: "...our conclusions indicate that anthropogenically-forced climate change has already contributed to the observed, detectable increase in the proportion of rapidly intensifying hurricanes and highlight the immediate need to improve coastal resilience to prepare against these dangerous events." 📣 We must pressure our governments to take the climate crisis far more seriously.🗳️ 🌎 • 🌀 • ⌛️ #hurricanes #stormwatermanagement #disasterpreparedness #weatherforcasting #climateMitigation #climatechange #emergencypreparedness #climateResilience #Anthropocene ---------- 26 October, 2023 --------
Hurrican Otis rapidly intensified from a tropical storm to a catastrophic category 5 hurricane in less than 12 hours; less than 24 hours before making landfall near Acapulco, Mexico. This is a nightmare scenario for meteorologists and emergency managers.
