Outlook for the 2024 Hurricane Season

The 2024 hurricane season started slowly, with the first named storm, Alberto, forming in the Bay of Campeche the third week of June.  By the end of June, both Beryl and Chris had formed.  While Chris was a short-lived weak tropical storm in the southern Bay of Campeche, Beryl became the earliest Category 5 hurricane on record in the eastern Caribbean in early July.  Beryl caused extensive damage across Grenada, hurricane conditions across southern Jamaica and the Cancun/Cozumel, MX areas, and made final landfall on the upper Texas coast as a Category 1 hurricane on July 8th.

StormGeo is anticipating a more activity for the 2024 season in the Atlantic Basin and some of the factors that StormGeo's Hurricane and Long-Range Forecasters evaluated to determine this forecast include:

  • A return of La Nina
  • Atlantic water temperatures
  • Analog Seasons
