THE US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued its forecast for this year’s Atlantic hurricane season, saying it expected to see 13 to 19 named storms this year.

That would make for an above-average season and most likely not as active as 2024 ended up being. An average Atlantic hurricane season has 14 named storms, including seven hurricanes and three major hurricanes.
