The  National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration  (NOAA) has predicted the following hurricane activity levels across the Atlantic, Eastern Pacific, and Central Pacific basins for 2022: Atlantic: Runs from June 1 to November 30, but not necessarily. Above-Normal Season Likely:  14-21 named storms and 3-6 major (Category 3-5) hurricanes, the 7th consecutive above-average hurricane season.   Only a 10% chance of a below-normal season. Why? Warmer-than-average sea surface temperatures  La Nina ( Absence of El Nino means that the lack of wind shear force to break down hurricanes ) Weaker tropical Atlantic trade winds Enhanced West African monsoons The two prominent forecasters are NOAA and Colorado State.  Past history shows that NOAA has a 92% accuracy for predicting the number of named storms, 72% for CSU, while NOAA has an 82% accuracy of predicting the number of major hurricanes, 62% for CST. Eastern Pacific: Below-Normal Season Likely Central Pacific: Below-Normal Season Likely
