It’s going to be another busy hurricane season in the Gulf South, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center.
The 2020 season brought a record-breaking 30 storms, including 14 hurricanes, seven of which were major. NOAA scientists expect numbers above average once again in 2021, though not quite so high, said Ben Friedman, acting NOAA administrator.
But the numbers are close: a likely range of 13 to 20 named storms, of which six to 10 could become hurricanes, including three to five major hurricanes.
“Now is the time for communities along the coastline as well as inland to get prepared for the dangers that hurricanes can bring,” Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo said.
