As we approach the hurricane season, which officially begins on June 1, it’s crucial to start preparations early. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has already begun issuing its daily tropical weather outlooks from May 15 through November 30 at intervals of 2 a.m., 8 a.m., 2 p.m., and 8 p.m. EDT. This proactive approach by the NHC, which started in 2021, aims to keep us ahead of any early developments during the season.
As of the latest update at 8 a.m. on May 15, there are no immediate threats forecasted for the next seven days. However, this should not deter us from making early preparations. It’s essential to ensure that both personal and business plans are in place to mitigate the impacts of potential hurricanes.
Why It’s Important to Use Reliable Sources
Always refer to the National Hurricane Center for the most accurate and reliable weather updates. Their expertise and timely updates are vital in helping you make informed decisions during the hurricane season. You can visit the NHC’s website for real-time updates and forecasts.
