Atlantic Hurricane Season Expected to Intensify Starting June
The Atlantic hurricane season, which typically spans from June to November, is expected to ramp up soon, according to Dr. Jason Senkbeil, a geography professor at The University of Alabama. Dr. Senkbeil, whose expertise includes atmospheric hazards and applied climatology, highlighted that 97% of hurricanes occur during this period. His research focuses on the dynamics of hurricanes, tornadoes, and climate change trends, providing valuable insights into the formation and progression of these storms. The Pacific hurricane season has already begun, but the Atlantic side, which affects Alabama and other southeastern U.S. states, is poised to see increased activity in the coming weeks. This period is critical for residents in hurricane-prone areas to prepare for potential impacts.
