Seasonal Hurricane Predictions
Service compiling forecasts of seasonal North Atlantic hurricanes issued by different universities, private sector entities and government agencies in a single portal. The evolution of seasonal hurricane forecasts is compared with real-time activity.
Why is this service relevant?
Hurricanes typically occur in the Atlantic Ocean region between June and November. Formed over the ocean, these violent storms can destroy homes and other infrastructure, posing a severe threat to the affected populations.
Various research groups, from meteorological services to academic groups, produce seasonal hurricane predictions ahead of each season. These predictions are generally freely available. However, there is a need for centralising this information and presenting it on a single platform to facilitate comparison between different predictions and make finding this information more accessible.
The Seasonal Hurricane Predictions service provides forecasters with a platform to submit their latest seasonal predictions on upcoming hurricane activity. It also offers the wider public the best available estimate of upcoming hurricane activity.
