El Niño

The official forecast for the 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season was issued by the NHC and it calls for a very active season with the presence of La Niña and record-breaking warm sea surface ocean temperatures.

El Niño helped drive global average temperatures to new records over the last year. Forecasters say it's waning, but that 2024 may still be one for the record books.

It’s only February, but sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean are already hitting early summer levels, a worrying trend that could indicate an active hurricane season ahead — or another marine heat wave.

El Niño contributed to Florida's cool winter. La Niña is set to arrive by summer and could influence hurricane season.

AccuWeather hurricane experts warn that all the ingredients are coming together for explosive tropical development in the Atlantic this year — especially in the second half of season. But, there is still a lot of time before the start of the season and weather is a notoriously fickle thing at times.

Earth breached a key temperature recently. A climate scientist explains how this warming and consequent weather patterns could impact the 2024 hurricane season, which begins June 1.

Floridians experienced some of the hottest summer months this past year, and early indications show similar conditions in 2024.

Above normal rainfall this winter could lead to a less active wildfire season across parts of Florida.

Counties across the greater Tampa Bay region and along the west coast are under water restrictions, and the state's wettest season is over until late spring. Meanwhile, portions of the east coast were deluged with rain.

Weather patterns are changing entering the winter season, and this could continue to bring wetter conditions to the Southeast.

‘It’s alarming to me that you can’t count on El Niño to reliably reduce hurricane risk. We’ve learned that is subject to external factors that can override it.'

University of Miami scientists are using $3 million in federal grant funding to better predict mammoth hurricanes, raging wildfires and increased coastal flooding by using use artificial intelligence.
