Not having any named hurricanes until August is rare – it’s happened only twice since 1960. Weather experts, however, predict they will come. Dry, dusty air blowing across the vast Sahara desert off the coast of West Africa has prevented convection or atmospheric water vapor from fueling the usual storms. Atlantic hurricane season runs from June to November. This image of upper-level water vapor over the North Atlantic Ocean comes from the College of DuPage’s NexLab satellite from August 30. (GOES/College of DuPage) “While we were able to dodge a few bullets early, I’m still expecting a strong hurricane season,” said Jeff Weber, an atmospheric scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo. Usually by now in August, Weber says at least one major hurricane has occurred.
Climate change may be a factor, weather experts say
As August is over, the next three available names on the 2022 tropical storm and hurricane list may not even be used this month. A tropical storm brings sustained winds of at least 63 km/h. Hurricanes, on the other hand, have winds of at least 119 km/h. Weather experts say climate change is a factor. Weber described how a persistent ridge of high pressure he calls a “bubble on the planet” — the same one that caused wildfires in North America last year — is now over Europe and Asia and is causing severe drought there. That lack of moisture could delay hurricane season, Weber said. “That could be part of the reason why we don’t see as much tropical development. It kind of reduces the amount of water vapor we have to work with off the west coast of Africa,” Weber said. pic.twitter.com/LGnljCd3tc —@NOAASatellites But increasing weather activity in the Atlantic basin — which includes the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico — suggests that this unusual pattern may be coming to an end. “I wouldn’t be surprised if it goes up dramatically here in September,” says Weber. He says sea surface temperatures are warm, which he predicts will fuel 10 to 14 storms and up to three major hurricanes, possibly in November.
Hurricane can develop within days
Meteorologist Bob Robichaud of the Canadian Hurricane Center told CBC News that weather models are predicting a hurricane within the next few days. He says climate change may be playing a role in reducing the number of hurricanes, but the ones that do form can be more powerful, like when Hurricane Dorian hit Atlantic Canada three years ago. Winds pick up about 90 million tons of dust from the Sahara desert each year. This image shows how the dust blows over the North Atlantic Ocean. (CIMSS Tropical Cyclones Group/University of Wisconsin-Madison) “You can’t necessarily judge the whole season just from the first three months,” Robichaud said. “Even a slow-starting year can really make a dime here if everything lines up.” Currently, storms named Danielle, Earl and Fiona are potentially developing. That’s something NASA is watching closely after it was forced to scrub Monday’s planned launch of Artemis I due to an engine temperature problem.

Monday’s launch was delayed. NASA said it would try again on Saturday. While hurricane danger peaks on September 10, some of the most powerful hurricanes have hit after August 15 — including Andrew (1992), Frances (2004), Ivan (2004), and Katrina (2005).
What does it mean for the moon rocket?
If a hurricane or tropical storm develops off the coast of Florida or the Gulf, NASA told the media, the launch director will receive a forecast from the Spaceflight Meteorology Group or from the US Space Force 45th Weather Squadron, which monitors any potential problems on the East Coast. In the event of a hurricane, follow careful guidelines to reduce weather-related risk, according to NASA.

When Hurricane Dorian hit in 2019, he said NASA had to return some of the equipment to the Vehicle Assembly Building. “Florida weather is predictable, but difficult in late August and early September. Tropical tracking is always a hot topic for the team,” Lovin said. A storm watcher is seen at the breakwater in Herring Cove, NS, as Hurricane Dorian struck in 2019. (Craig Paisley/CBC)
