Another very reliable meteorological agency is predicting a very active hurricane season. The MET office in the United Kingdom is forecasting 20 tropical storms between July and November. If this is an accurate forecast, the 2010 season will join only the 2005 season as the only two seasons with 20 or more named storms EVER.
You may be thinking, "So what. They are located in the UK. How much can they know about hurricanes." Well, the UK Met office has done very well in forecasting in previous years AND they predicted accurately that 2007 and 2009 seasons where going to be quiet. They also predicted that 2008 was going to be an active year. In other word, this seems like it is a proven system because the forecasters were able to distinguish that 2007 was going to be quiet, 2008 was going to be busy, and 2009 was going to be quiet.
This is just another indication of the kind of season we are heading into. Stay tuned for more information.
