2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season
Click here to read the full report:
The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season was initially forecasted to be incredibly active on account of near-record high sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and the development of La Nina conditions in the Atlantic. Despite a prominent beginning with Hurricane Beryl from late June to early July, a large period of general inactivity occurred from July to September. Near the final week of September, however, a surge in Atlantic disturbances resulted in the development of three major hurricanes through October, two of which made landfall in the United States. This study will compare this hurricane season to previous climatological averages, analyze the larger synoptic and global environments that have been both conducive and unfavorable for the development of tropical systems, and discuss notable hurricanes that have developed.
