‘The active hurricane era that brought us Katrina and Sandy may be over’ – ‘2015 season running at just 50% of normal’
During this positive phase, when ocean temperatures are warm and ripe in the tropical Atlantic, pressure and wind patterns are also altered in such a way that favor Atlantic hurricane formation and intensification.
