Previously we blogged about the 2008 Atlantic Hurricane Season forecast, but the Atlantic hurricanes are not the only hurricanes that affect the United States. What about the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season? These storms can certainly put a damper on any vacations you may try to plan!
If you are trying to plan a vacation and are concerned with the Pacific Hurricane season than you will be happy to hear that NOAA is predicting a below-normal Eastern Pacific Hurricane season.
“Seasonal hurricane forecasters estimate a 60 to 70 percent chance of 11 to 16 named storms, including five to eight hurricanes and one to three major hurricanes (category 3, 4, or 5 on the Saffir-Simpson scale).”
What is average?
“An average eastern Pacific hurricane season produces 15 to 16 named storms, with nine becoming hurricanes and four to five becoming major hurricanes.”
