As the Atlantic hurricane season begins on June 1, predictions suggest an active year ahead, with forecasters estimating 13 to 19 named storms. Several factors contribute to this outlook, including high ocean temperatures and favorable atmospheric conditions. However, experts express concerns about federal funding cuts and policy instability, which may diminish forecast accuracy and community safety. Notably, the absence of El Nino conditions increases the likelihood of storm development, indicating a potentially severe season lasting until November 30.
