Today is September 19 2020, I will be talking about the hurricane season 2020. This year we have 8 hurricanes, 2 major hurricanes, 24 tropical cyclones, and 23 named storms. Some of these storms haven’t happened so we have to wait and see what they will do. There are so many storms for this season the names that are used to name hurricanes have run out. Now weather services are relying on the Greek alphabet to name the rest of the storms this year. This has been the most active hurricane season since 2005. In 2005 there were 27 named storms and 14 hurricanes recorded. That is only five off of this year named storms. The other thing is the storms this year are supposed to be more chaotic. This is due to warmer waters caused by climate change. There have already been examples to show with hurricane Sally dropping over 20 inches of rain in a 20 hour period. This is as much rain that part of Louisiana usually gets in four months. But there is some good news for the nor'easters that usually come around this time of year instead of it being wind it will just be rain.
