Storms have shaped off each the East and West coasts of the United States, breaking a uncommon streak of inactivity. Last month was the primary August with zero named storms in 25 years. This can be the third time since data started within the Nineteen Forties that there have been no named storms within the Atlantic, in keeping with E&E News. This was even if the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted an above-average Atlantic hurricane season again in May.

Hurricane Danielle started forming in late August and churned across the central North Atlantic for just a few days. It has since weakened and was downgraded to a post-tropical storm this week; it won’t instantly hit land. Danielle now seems to be shifting toward Europe as a substitute of constructing landfall over the continental U.S.

Hurricane Earl shaped final week simply North of the Leeward Islands within the northeastern Caribbean Sea. Then a tropical storm, Earl introduced heavy rain to the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and different islands, and it has strengthened this week, according to NOAA. Winds from the hurricane at the moment are blowing at round 90 miles per hour, bringing swells and highly effective rip currents off the coast of Bermuda and the East Coast, in keeping with the National Hurricane Center.

Over on the Western coast of Mexico, Hurricane Kay made landfall alongside the central Baja California Peninsula this week. Parts of Southern California, Nevada, and Arizona may see flash flooding this weekend due to the class 1 hurricane, in keeping with the National Hurricane Center.

Despite the unusually sluggish begin, the height of hurricane season is but to come back. More named storms could be every week away from forming, as climate situations can change quickly throughout this time of the 12 months.
