>> After a record-shattering 30 named storms during the 2020 Atlantic
hurricane season which brought destructive storms that pounded Central
America, the US Gulf Coast, and beyond, US government forecasters on Thursday
predicted an above-normal season again in 2021, marking the sixth year of an
above-average number of hurricanes. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, known as NOAH, released their official Atlantic hurricane
season outlook with 13-20 total named storms expected. Of those named storms,
NOAH forecasts that between 6-10 will be hurricanes with winds of at least 74
miles per hour and 3-5 major hurricanes with sustained winds of at least 111
miles per hour. Academic and commercial meteorologists have also predicted an
above-average season for 2021, but not as busy as 2020 because of an end to
the La Nina system that promotes storm formation. The 2021 hurricane season is
already off to an early start with a storm expected to form off Bermuda this
week
