The Atlantic hurricane season officially ends Nov. 30 and scientists say there is still the possibility for more named storms this year.
That’s because warm ocean temperatures, which fuel hurricanes, are at record-level temperatures.
“As far as hurricane landfalls in the U.S., it’s been crazy busy,” said Jeff Masters, meteorologist for Yale Climate Connections. So far five hurricanes have made landfall in the U.S. — and the record is six.
Masters said it’s possible that record will be matched since tropical cyclone activity is expected to be above-average for the rest of October and November.
