Strike on the wood, but so far this year, Hurricane season was on the bottom. Yesterday, September 10, scored the official point of the hurricanes season. (To update: the hurricanes season takes place from June to November, with a stormy activity culminating from September.)

It is the first climatological peak without storm named in the Atlantic basin since 2016, according to a accuweather report shared with Best life . In addition, it was the first time in more than 30 years that there has not been a storm weekend named during the Labor Day. And the activity of the tropical cyclone of the northern hemisphere is down 60% So far this year.

"It will probably be the first time in almost a decade that the summit of the hurricanes season passes without a named storm. This rare event has only occurred three times in the past 30 years, ”explains Accuweather Lead Hurricane Expert Alex Dasilva . Apart from 2016, this trend took place in 2014 and 2000.

But while Mother Nature brought an "exceptionally calm section during the peak weeks typical of the Hurricane season of the Atlantic", meteorologists Accuweather say that it is just calm before the storm.

In relation: 4 regions where the hurricanes season will be the worst this year .

“This is the time of year when water temperatures in the Atlantic are generally a peak, and atmospheric conditions are most conducive to tropical development. The frequency of storms in the Atlantic basin is the highest on average on September 10, according to historical data, ”explains Dasilva.

In other words, the conditions of hurricanes should be in effect from this week.

"Accuweather predicted in March, when we published our seasonal forecasts of hurricanes, that dry air overvoltages could lead to mid-season lull," continues Dasilva. "We have planned that the second half of the season is more active than the first."

As Best life Reported earlier this month: "Accuweather plans 13 to 18 storm names , of which 7 to 10 will be upgraded to hurricanes . It is estimated that 3 to 5 will be classified as "major" hurricanes, and 3 to 6 will have a direct impact on the United States ""

In the direction of the second half of the hurricane season, meteorologists warn that the "disturbing" conditions are on the horizon. More specifically, they observe reductions in dry air, Saharan dust and shear from the disturbing wind. So far this month, the dust of the Sahara has Fallen below the typical beach and average levels.

The overvoltages of the temperatures of the sea surface and the ocean heat content in the Gulf (the quantity of thermal energy trapped in the ocean) are also on "Record Territory for this period of the year".

“This exceptional heat in the Gulf is disturbing. Hot waters can act as fuel to develop tropical storms and strengthen hurricanes, ”explains Dasilva.

He warns: “Atmospheric conditions should be conducive to tropical development at the end of September. We are concerned about the risk of rapid intensification if a storm forms or moves in the very hot waters of the Gulf later this month. The conditions are started for an explosive and rapid intensification. ”

In relation: 34 states that will have unusually hot falls this year .

As for what regions will be the hardest affected, the Southwest Atlantic, the Gulf Coast and the Caribbean are on alert. Meanwhile, landlocked states should prepare for sudden potential floods, as Best life previously reported.

The latest Accuweather report highlights eight states and territories which are at a "higher risk" of direct impact this season of hurricanes:

• Texas
• Louisiana
• Mississippi
• Florida Gulf Coast
• North Carolina
• Canada Atlantic
• Puerto Rico
• American virgin islands

In addition, experts warn that there is an "increased risk of tornadoes and flooding of tropical storms and hurricanes reaching more inland this year".
