Peak of Atlantic Hurricane Season Approaches with Two Tropical Risks

Buzzline

Meteorologists from AccuWeather are monitoring two regions with potential for tropical development as the Atlantic hurricane season reaches its traditionally active late-August phase. One disturbance is located southeast of Bermuda and may generate gale-force winds affecting trans-Atlantic shipping lanes, while a tropical wave originating from Africa shows a moderate probability of evolving into a depression later this week. The Atlantic typically experiences its maximum activity around September 10, and over the last decade, the first hurricane has generally formed by July 27. An escalating El Niño phenomenon could enhance wind shear, potentially hindering development as the season progresses.

00:00The Atlantic hurricane season is beginning to come alive.

00:03AccuWeather is tracking two tropical threats.

00:05One system is located southeast of Bermuda.

00:08It has a medium risk of tropical development.

00:11The system is expected to remain well east of the United States,

00:14but it could bring gale-force winds to shipping routes.

00:17Another large tropical wave has moved off Africa.

00:20It also has a medium chance of becoming a tropical depression.

00:24The wave could pass northeast of the Leeward Islands.

00:27Conditions may become more favorable near Puerto Rico.

00:30Atlantic activity typically surges in late August.

00:33The season usually peaks around September 10th.

00:36Meanwhile, El Nino is intensifying.

00:38That could increase wind shear and limit tropical development.

00:42Forecasters will closely monitor both systems in the coming days.

00:46Disclosure.
