In May, it was predicted that we would have more hurricanes than normal - 17 to 25 named storms, 8 to 13 hurricanes. That was based on the warm water of the Gulf and Atlantic.
In August, this was revised to 17 to 24 names storms, of which 8 to 13 were hurricanes and 4 to 7 were major hurricanes.
Prior to September, it was looking like a relatively slow season. Not anymore.
To date, we have had 13 named storms, 9 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes.
We still have almost two months to go - and October is one of the busier months.
