Forecasters are saying this year will likely be an above-normal hurricane season due to warming conditions in the ocean.
Hurricane activity in the Atlantic Ocean could be at an "above-normal level" this year, forecasters are warning.
Scientists from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration say warming oceans and atmospheric conditions have increased the likelihood of more hurricane activity this year. NOAA says there is a 60 per cent chance this season could be above-normal, an increase from May's prediction that suggested a 30 per cent chance of above-normal storm activity.Of the storms, scientists predict two to five could become "major" hurricanes.
A "normal" hurricane season sees 14 named storms, seven of which become hurricanes and three that are major hurricanes, NOAA says.
