Posted: May 24, 2022 3:27 PM ET | Last Updated: 5 hours agoThe Atlantic hurricane season is poised to deliver another round of above-normal storms for the seventh consecutive year, according to both Environment and Climate Change Canada and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration .
"On average, [Canada gets] about four or five storms every year of those storms that form in the Atlantic that find their way into our response zone. That accounts for 30 to 40 per cent," Bob Robichaud, a warning preparedness meteorologist at the Canadian Hurricane Centre, said in press conference on Tuesday.
Climate change is warming ocean temperatures that have led to more destructive and damaging storms, forecasters say. NOAA's call for an above-average storm season follows another by Colorado State University, which last month predicted 19 named storms, nine hurricanes and four major hurricanes. An average season generates 14 named storms and seven hurricanes, figures that increased last year after a recalculation. NOAA cited improved satellite monitoring and climate change in raising the numbers for a normal year.
Yes, CBC, hurricane season happens every year. Sometimes bad storms hit, sometimes they don’t.
