The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season is predicted to be above-normal due to La Niña and warmer-than-average ocean temperatures. NOAA forecasts an 85% chance of an above-normal season, which spans from June 1 to November 30. AccuWeather experts warn of explosive tropical development, especially in the second half of the season, as the El Niño pattern transitions to La Niña. Record-breaking ocean temperatures in the Atlantic are fueling concerns about a dangerous hurricane season, with temperatures currently warmer than ever recorded for this time of year.
