Orlando, Florida. – Hurricane weather in the Atlantic Ocean will be close to normal, according to forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
NOAA released its forecast this Thursday for the period that runs from June 1 to November 30.
According to NOAA, between 12 and 17 named storms and between 5 and 9 hurricanes are expected, of which between 1 and 4 could become stronger (category 3 to 5).
LIST OF STORM NAMES FOR THE 2013 SEASON
Since 1953, tropical storm names have been based on a list originating from the National Hurricane Center and repeated every six years.
But the names of the storms, which are ultimately destructive, are removed from the tables and do not work again. The names Fiona and Ian will be removed from the seasonal wind list, according to a recent announcement by NOAA on Thursday.
These are the names of the tropical storms of this 2023 season;
Arlene, Bret, Cindy, Don, Emily, Franklin, Gert, Harold, Idalia, Jose, Katia, Lee, Margot, Nigel, Ophelia, Philippe, Rina, Sean, Tammy, Vince, Whitney.
In the event that there are more storms than names on the list, the names will be named from another list.
Get ready on time
According to experts, it is very important to anticipate when the season of the storm begins, especially if you live in an area where the effects of this natural phenomenon are felt.
The NHC recommends discussing your personal field risk if you live in a designated evacuation zone and reviewing your insurance policies.
It also suggests that you stock up on emergency supplies (such as water, canned food, batteries, and medicine), and start planning how to prepare your home if a tornado hits.
In the meantime, you can follow notifications from the National Hurricane Center, or even on our website.
