> Yet another busy hurricane season is likely across the Atlantic this year -- but some of the conditions that supercharged storms like Hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024 have waned, according to a key forecast issued Thursday.
>
> A warm -- yet no longer record-hot -- strip of waters across the Atlantic Ocean is [1]forecast to help fuel development of 17 named tropical cyclones during the season that runs from June 1 through Nov. 30, according to Colorado State University researchers. Of those tropical cyclones, nine are forecast to become hurricanes, with four of those expected to reach "major" hurricane strength.
>
> That would mean a few more tropical storms and hurricanes than in an average year, yet slightly quieter conditions than those observed across the Atlantic basin last year. This time last year, researchers from CSU were warning of an "extremely active" hurricane season with nearly two dozen named tropical storms. The next month, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released an aggressive forecast, warning the United States could face one of its worst hurricane seasons in two decades.
>
> The forecast out Thursday underscores how warming oceans and cyclical patterns in storm activity have primed the Atlantic basin for what is now a decades-long string of frequent, above-normal -- but not necessarily hyperactive -- seasons, said Philip Klotzbach, a senior research scientist at Colorado State and the forecast's lead author.

Say that fucking shit again to a family who paid for years on an insurance plan, only to have the evil insurance companies either find, create, or lobby for loopholes that allowed them not to fucking pay after a disaster.

The Americans will suffer for their voting choices and that's fine with me. They're dismantling the very government agencies they need in hurricane season. Specially affected are red states .. Their call. I got no sympathy for the USA. Yesterday alone their markets lost 5 trillion dollars .. but who cares ? Donald cares not an iota so all that is fine , right ? Yaaaa.. it's all fine and perfect. Donniew will use his magic marker to deflect the hurricanes and they just won't happen ..
Americans are so screwed

Functionally worse given Trump (Score:2)
Given the ways that Trump has gutted the federal government which does a lot of the forecasting of hurricanes and the assistance from it, this is going to be worse. And it is going to be especially worse in blue states since Trump is not only blocking FEMA, he's specifically blocking FEMA assistance in blue states, in direct violation of a judge's order.

Hurricanes decreasing globally throughout the 20th century (you know during surging CO2) everywhere except the North Atlantic.
Personally I'd assume that North Atlantic data has everything to do with the closest scrutiny and highest tech since that's what America watches, mostly. We can see when a cat 2 peaks briefly into a cat 4 out at sea that wouldn't be noticed most other places.
