2022 Hurricane Names List Released For Atlantic Season
The NHC has released its list of names for the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season. Predictions call for 19 named storms; Alex would be the 1st.
In preparation for the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season, the National Hurricane Center in Miami has released the list of names for upcoming tropical storms and hurricanes.
The hurricane center is urging residents living along the Gulf of Mexico and Eastern seaboard to begin preparing for the 2022 hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to Nov. 30. The areas covered include the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea.
Weather analysts at Colorado State University predict the coming season will be an active one that produces 19 named storms, nine hurricanes and four major hurricanes (reaching wind speeds of 111 mph and up).
"If the model goes as predicted, this would be our seventh above-normal hurricane season in a row," said research scientist Dr. Phil Klotzbach at CSU.
In 2020's record-setting hurricane season, Hurricane Zeta formally reached the end of the United Nation's backup list of Greek letters for the first time as the 27th named storm of the year, NBC reported.
