Experts forecast another active Atlantic hurricane season


Forecasters warned that the upcoming hurricane season would again be highly intense. Leading experts predict 17 tropical storms, including nine hurricanes. Five of the hurricanes should be intense, meaning they will reach or exceed Category 3.

While this preciction is high it remains below last year's record of 26 tropical storms and 14 hurricanes, seven of them intense.

This study ignores global warming theories that suggest higher ocean water temperatures are increasing the number and intensity of storms.
