As we are planning a fall crossing of the Atlantic we’ve been watching the hurricane season develop with interest. According to the long range weather gurus at Colorado State University, the conditions for a very active season are strengthening. These include:
- Warmer than normal sea surface temperature.
- Weaker Atlantic trade winds reducing wind shear.
- Strengthening La Nina in the Pacific
Bottom line, have a hurricane hole picked out, stock up with rope, chafe gear, and ground tackle. And stay ahead of the curve.
