After a fairly active start to the storm season of the 2021 in which up to five storms formed in July, it appears unlikely that the Atlantic will witness another tropical storm until 30 of November. However, experts explain that despite the fact that the tropical winds in Africa have decreased significantly, there are meteorological phenomena that could form in the Caribbean, such as Hurricane Ida.
In the list of storm names assigned for 2021, only Wanda remains , although it is unlikely to be used, forecasters recommend not to be trusted.
According to AccuWeather , taking into account that tropical activity in the Atlantic decreases in mid-October, that is when the Caribbean sea statistically produces a significant amount of storms in the tropics .
Hurricane Ida formed in the southern Caribbean Sea and caused multimillion-dollar damage in Louisiana and Mississippi , which have not yet fully recovered from this phenomenon in August. On the other hand, Henri was born in an atypical way as a result of a complex of electrical storms in the northeast of the United States.
One of the most recent hurricanes, Nicholas, formed in the Bay of Campeche, in the Gulf of Mexico, before gaining strength and touching land in Texas as a category 1 hurricane.
The specialized climate media indicates that one of the reasons that could reduce the number of tropical storms is the wind shear .
“When there are strong winds, what we call wind shear, those strong winds will weaken tropical systems, and that is why it has been so quiet since 15 of September, because we’ve had an enormous amount of wind shear in the Atlantic basin, ”said a meteorologist from AccuWeather .
Nevertheless, this phenomenon could be affected by La Niña , a complex meteorological process that could “push” the shear from the Pacific towards the north and expelling it from the Caribbean, which could lead to tropical storms before the end of the season or even after, a forecast that is not new.
In 2020 Hurricane Iota, , the most devastating of the past year , formed at the end of November and became a powerful category 4 cyclone on the Saffir-Simpson scale when it made landfall in Nicaragua with winds up to 155 miles per hour.
For your part, the most powerful hurricane of the season 2021 was Sam, although it did not make landfall anywhere, remained a powerful tropical phenomenon in the Atlantic for several days until it dissipated near Greenland .
The last recorded storm was Victor, which remained relatively close to the African coast until it dissipated. Apparently and except for drastic changes in the Atlantic, the storm season could have its days numbered .
