It’s Curtains on the 2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season

By Dale C. S. Destin – Published 30 November 2023 | The official 2023 hurricane season is slated to come to a quiet end tonight. However, for all intents and purposes, it came to an end weeks ago when the last tropical cyclone dissipated on October 24. Tracks of all tropical cyclones for the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season.

June 1st marks the official start of the Atlantic basin hurricane season. Though there is now a pre-season which starts on May 15th.

It's predicted to be near average this year. Though what is considered average has been creeping up in recent decades.

CNN tracked two hurricane season outlooks this year: the forecast from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which was released last week, and another from researchers at Colorado State University, who have been issuing seasonal forecasts for more than 37 years.

NOAA officials are predicting an average hurricane season, with 12 to 17 named tropical storms, five to nine of which could become hurricanes. They expect as many of four of those could strengthen into major hurricanes – category 3 or stronger.

A slightly more optimistic prediction from tropical cyclone Dr. research scientist Dr. Philip J. Klotzbach.

Phil Klotzbach, a research scientist at Colorado State, said in April his group was predicting a slightly below-average season this year: 13 named storms, six hurricanes and two major hurricanes.

The key difference between tropical depressions, tropical storms and hurricanes lies in their wind speeds and the level of organization within the system.

While a tropical depression represents the earliest stage of cyclone development, named tropical storms exhibit more structure and stronger winds. Hurricanes — the most powerful and dangerous of the three — possess the strongest winds and a well-defined eye, making them capable of causing extensive damage over large areas.

According to the National Hurricane Center, there is already a disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico with a 70% chance of tropical cyclone formation in the next two days. Look for updates here.

Even a season which starts off calm can take an abrupt turn.

In 1992 there had been no named storms for the first 11 weeks of the season. Then on August 17th a nondescript tropical wave in the Atlantic became the first named storm of the year. Rapid intensification transformed this storm into Category 5 Hurricane Andrew. It cut through the south of Florida like a buzz saw and had a second act as it stormed through the Gulf and made a second landfall in Louisiana.

Hurricane Andrew

Andrew's style of rapid intensification has become more common in the 21st century.

This season should not be as bad as 2020 when they ran out of hurricane names and then burned through half of the Greek alphabet.

Yep, one tropical storm in 2020 even made landfall in Portugal. 🇵🇹

Warm seas give hurricanes more strength and make their formation more likely. The unmistakable warming of the Atlantic is responsible for the spike in major hurricanes this century.

I have lived in Florida for almost my entire life, coming up on 26 years, but I still can't seem to grasp the idea that hurricane cones represent only the center of the storm and that hurricanes are very big and that you'll still get wind and rain even if you're hundreds of miles away from the head-on path.

Greetings everybody! Thanks so much for visiting. The Gulf of Mexico came alive this week with Hurricane Francine. We’re at peak season for hurricane potential and the Atlantic has a few areas of concern that bear watching. While preparedness supplies are plentiful and the Atlantic is somewhat quiet (for the moment), now is the time to get prepared for a tropical storm or hurricane. I’ve plenty…

"People on the Gulf Coast and along the Eastern Seaboard can breathe a little easier. The 2023 Atlantic hurricane season, which began June 1, ends today.

The season was above-normal in terms of activity. There were 20 named storms that formed in the Atlantic basin, starting with "Unnamed Storm" and ending with "Tammy." That's the fourth-highest number in a single year since 1950." @NPR

Climate-denying Republicans can't be confused with the facts.

To make progress on climate issues we need to keep Republicans out of office at every level of state and national government.

The imbeciles who claim that both parties are the same are as delusional as MAGA zombies.

Biden Calls Climate Change 'Existential Threat To Humanity'

DeSantis dismisses climate change, calling it ‘politicisation of weather’

Republicans refuse to admit that we even have a problem.

This summer, from one end of the US to the other, we are experiencing in different ways the effects of climate related wildfires.

And fires are not the only problem. Predictions for the 2023 Atlantic Basin hurricane season were just revised upward. We're currently moving into the most active part of the season (mid August to mid October).

Warm seas act like jet fuel for tropical cyclones. And the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Ron DeSantis's Florida is off the scale with temperatures.

Florida ocean records ‘unprecedented’ temperatures similar to a hot tub

We're still trying to get out of the hole dug by the Trump administration. Put Republicans back in power and we may never get out of that hole. With every passing day they grow more bizarre and unhinged with their resistance to climate action.

An insidious form of climate denial is festering in the Republican Party
