BASSETERRE, St. Kitts, May 31st, 2012 (CUOPM) – With two tropical storms, Alberto and Beryl, on the books, the 2012 Hurricane Seaspon, which srtats on June 1, is still predicted to be moderate.
Nine to 15 named storms are expected during the six-month season from June 1 to Nov. 30, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Several other storm experts have predicted 10 to 12 storms.
The predictions are based in part on cooler surface waters in the Atlantic basin — the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico — and the possibility of a late summer El Niño, which creates upper atmospheric storms that thwart hurricane development.
Forecasters already have said the early season storms are not an indication of things to come.
