Ever since Katrina, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) has been on higher alert and improving its storm monitoring capacity to prevent a repeat of the 2005 disaster. And this week, it has just spotted signs of a developing cyclone somewhere near Bermuda and could mark an early start to America s hurricane season this year.
As per information by Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) a low-pressure area is very likely to form over North Andaman Sea and likely to intensify into a cyclonic storm by 24th
As if one area to watch wasn t enough, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) is now monitoring a second region in the Atlantic Ocean basin for the potential formation of a tropical storm system.
The center has already been watching an area over the North Atlantic, east of Bermuda. Meteorologists have designated this area with the name Invest 90L, which indicates a particular area of disturbed weather that is being monitored by the NHC. This storm system has a high chance of developing on Friday or Saturday.
On Thursday evening, the NHC added a different area in the Gulf of Mexico. This area of stormy weather currently has a medium chance at becoming a tropical depression or a named, tropical storm before tracking into the Deep South on Saturday.
