The researchers at North Carolina State University are predicting 11 to 15 named storms, with 6 to 8 of those storms developing into hurricanes, and 2 to 3 becoming major hurricanes in the Atlantic this season, which runs from June 1 through Nov. 30.

Hurricane season kicked off on June 1, and it’s essential to note that the peak of storm activity typically spans from mid-August to mid-October. To ensure you’re not caught off guard, proactive planning is key. Take the time now to develop a comprehensive hurricane plan and assemble vital supplies. By preparing ahead of time, you’ll be better equipped to weather the storms of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season safely.
