The Atlantic hurricane season is the period in a year, from June 1 through November 30, when tropical or subtropical cyclones are most likely to form in the North Atlantic Ocean. These dates, adopted by convention, encompass the period in each year when most tropical cyclogenesis occurs in the basin .
A tropical cyclone is the generic term for a warm-cored, non-frontal synoptic-scale low-pressure system over tropical or subtropical waters around the world. [4] [5] The systems generally have a well-defined center which is surrounded by deep atmospheric convection and a closed wind circulation at the surface. [4]
In October, both Tropical Storm Philippe, the longest-lived tropical cyclone in the Atlantic this year, and Hurricane Tammy made landfall on Barbuda. Also that month, Tropical Depression Twenty‑One made landfall in Nicaragua. With Tammy's dissipation on October 28, the season effectively ended, as no tropical cyclones formed thereafter.
Additionally, one potential tropical cyclone that was designated did not develop into a tropical cyclone. Altogether, there were 12 landfalling systems this season. This season's ACE index, as calculated by the Colorado State University (CSU) using data from the NHC was approximately 161.6 units. [ 30 ]
During the Atlantic hurricane season, even before a tropical cyclone forms, there are words like “tropical wave,” “tropical disturbance,” “invest” and “potential tropical cyclone ...
The next name on the list of tropical storms for the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season is Patty. There is another factor aiding in the potential tropical development.
The 2024 Pacific typhoon season was an event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation in the western Pacific Ocean.It is the fifth-latest starting Pacific typhoon season on record, the first season since 2019 to be average in terms of named storms typhoons and super typhoons as well as the deadliest since 2013, and the fourth-costliest Pacific typhoon season on record, mostly due to Yagi.
Scientists say it remains unclear how much climate change is reshaping the storm season, or if it is responsible for the rare appearance of four tropical cyclones at the same time in the West ...
