The hurricane season in the North Atlantic is coming to a close on Friday of this coming week. According to the preliminary review, the season was below average, in spite of two category 5 hurricanes. This comes as a sharp contrast to the dire warnings in May, ahead of the start of the season, which warned of above normal hurricane activity. Not so.
Mother Nature is unpredictable, and it only goes to show that forecasters are still only able to forecast 5 days in advance - at 80% accuracy.

Hurricanes. Now that's a scary thought after Katrina. The whole thing is still such a sensitive issue, though.
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered what their accuracy was.....now I know....June:)
