June brings warmth and storms!

The season for storms as begun. The 2023 hurricane season is forecasting a likely range of 12 to 17 named storms (winds of 39 mph or higher), of which 5 to 9 could become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher), including 1 to 4 major hurricanes (category 3, 4 or 5; with winds of 111 mph or higher).

Major hurricanes are Category 3, 4 or 5 and have sustained winds of 111 mph or higher. These hurricanes can cause catastrophic damage that could result in widespread power outages and leave residential and commercial properties uninhabitable for several days to months.

The 2023 hurricane season is the seventh consecutive above-average hurricane season. This year is likely to have increased activity due to several climate factors, including:

• La Niña 
• Warmer-than-average sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea
• Weaker tropical Atlantic trade winds
• An enhanced West African monsoon

The official Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to Nov. 30, but hurricanes and severe storms can form before or after.
