On August 4, local time, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicted that there could be 15 to 21 named storms in the Atlantic hurricane season in 2021, more than the 13 to 20 expected in May.
NoAA said this year's Atlantic hurricane season could bring 7 to 10 hurricanes, with 3 to 5 hurricanes reaching a wind force of 3 or stronger. NOAA's forecast includes five named storms that have formed so far in the hurricane season. Since the start of this year's hurricane season, there have been five named storms in a shorter period of time than in previous years. NOAA Commissioner Rick Spinrad said in a statement that the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season shows no signs of easing and that it will enter its peak in the coming months.
The Atlantic hurricane season in the United States begins on June 1 each year and lasts until November 30. The 2020 hurricane season saw a record 30 named storms. According to official projections, there is a 65 percent chance of an above-average hurricane season this year, and a normal hurricane season is only 25 percent likely. (CCTV reporter Xu Tao)
