Winter 2024-25 forecast for the country – Old Farmer’s Almanac
Posted By RichC on September 18, 2024
When thinking about seasonal weather forecasts, it is enjoyable to check in with The Old Farmer’s Almanac. It has become a regular habit … although I can’t say how accurate year to year how close they are to what really happens?
I’d venture a guess that they are probably more accurate than hurricane forecasting.
Researchers predict a hyperactive 2024 hurricane season
On April 29, the Colorado State University Tropical Weather & Climate Research team released their forecast for the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season. They are expecting this season to be one of the most active in history.
They are predicting 23 named tropical storms or hurricanes, meaning the storm has reached a development stage with sustained winds of at least 39 mph.
From those 23 storms, they predict eleven of them will reach the status of hurricane and five will develop to at least category 5 with sustained winds of 111 miles per hour or more.
EDIT add: Buzz Aldrin mentioned that last Saturday 9/14/2024 was International Observe the Moon Night, so I took the the time to enjoy the south sky view from our backyard. It was nice.
