NOAA predicts above-normal 2022 Atlantic Hurricane Season

[Eagler]

Whatever happened to that corrupt bunch of losers who were running N.O. at the time?  You know, the same group who "redirected" federal funds earmarked for levy improvements just a few years prior.  Bush was such a p#$&/ as he sat back and basically took the blame for what that democrat run city caused.  Meanwhile in Gulfport and Biloxi ...

This...it was more media corrupt manipulation

We had no idea it was just the beginning...

before you go and get upset.  6 investigations revealed that the primary cause was poor design and construction by the Corp of engineers.

I hope New Orleans officials learns from Florida’s response and preparation to a hurricane much more damaging than Katrina.

They had one of these reports after Katrina, and then we didn't have much of anything for a decade

https://www.noaa.gov/news-release/noaa-predicts-above-normal-2022-atlantic-hurricane-season#:~:text=For%20the%202022%20hurricane%20season%2C%20NOAA%20is%20forecasting,NOAA%20provides%20these%20ranges%20with%20a%2070%25%20confidence.

Forecasters at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, a division of the National Weather Service, are predicting above-average hurricane activity this year — which would make it the seventh consecutive above-average hurricane season. NOAA’s outlook for the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season, which extends from June 1 to November 30, predicts a 65% chance of an above-normal season, a 25% chance of a near-normal season and a 10% chance of a below-normal season.

For the 2022 hurricane season, NOAA is forecasting a likely range of 14 to 21 named storms (winds of 39 mph or higher), of which 6 to 10 could become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher), including 3 to 6 major hurricanes (category 3, 4 or 5; with winds of 111 mph or higher). NOAA provides these ranges with a 70% confidence.

And that prediction turned out to be wrong. Way wrong.

The average number of Hurricanes is 14. So far we have had 9. We need 5 more this season (Ends Nov 30th) just to get to an average season.

More doom and gloom not happening.

Before you try to spin the facts, what happened to the federal money that was to go into the improvements of the levies?

N.O. could have learned from gulf coast Mississippi, too.    Interesting how much better the surrounding areas faired absent all of the corruption.

And you better believe that "they" are rooting for this to happen.

From your quote, NOAA predicted 6-10 hurricanes in 2022, and you say there have been 9 so far.  I don't understand why you think their prediction was wrong?   The way I read it, the actual results have been within their predicted range.

Because the OP posted that they were predicting and above average hurricane season, and an average hurricane season is 14.

Correction - there have been 9 named storms. 4 have become hurricanes.

Average season is 14 named storms and 6-10 hurricanes.

The OP article has them predicting 14-21 named storms and 6-10 hurricanes.


I guess climate change relaxed a little this year. No doom and gloom and nothing out of the ordinary is happening. Period.

An average hurricane season produces 14 named storms, of which seven become hurricanes, including three major hurricanes.

You mean kind of like the subtle changes over time that have been happening since the beginning of time? The changes that have always happened?

The good news is that the climate has gotten warmer over time and allowed life on earth to flourish. I'm sure glad most of the glaciers melted away and made it possible for us to be alive right now.
