Climate models predicted there would be more hurricanes in the Atlantic than usual this year .

Warm seas meant conditions were perfect for a particularly active season .

Yet by mid-September , the typical peak of the hurricane season, only seven storms have been named.

The key difference was unprecedented rain in an unexpected place: the Sahara desert.

Researchers at Colorado State University , widely considered some of the most accurate hurricane forecasters, have estimated a 50% chance of a return to normal hurricane activity in the next two weeks . While we have been fortunate to have a lull in storms in the 2024 season , it is not over yet. If tropical cyclones do develop, with such high sea surface temperatures, it is possible that they will intensify rapidly to become high-impact storms. Though it was months ago , Hurricane Beryl has been a reminder that even in a quiet season , hurricanes can still do catastrophic damage..
