Opinion: The 2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season is predicted to be near-normal, but here is why that is not entirely good news.
Every year, the Northern Hemisphere region of the Atlantic Ocean embraces the annual hurricane season that officially starts on June 1 and ends on November 30. This period has been adopted by convention; it’s when most tropical cyclogenesis occurs in the Atlantic. Though the formation of subtropical or tropical cyclones is possible at any time of the year, as was the case this past mid-January, we witnessed the formation of an unnamed subtropical storm, marking the earliest start of an Atlantic hurricane season since Hurricane Alex in 2016.
