The 2021 Atlantic hurricane season is on. The season officially starts June 1 and extends through November 30. Just a few days after the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released this year’s hurricane season outlook, predicting a busier-than-average hurricane season, Tropical Storm Ana became the first named storm of the season when it formed off Bermuda on May 22. That makes 2021 the seventh straight year in which at least one named storm has developed in the Atlantic basin before hurricane season’s official start date.
