Experts voorspellen een zeer actief orkaanseizoen
May 18, 2020 - Het Atlantische orkaanseizoen van 2020 wordt naar verwachting actiever dan gemiddeld, met 16 vernoemde tropische stormen. Acht daarvan worden volgens researchers orkanen en vier bereiken kracht van zware orkaan.
As Tropical Storm Arthur moves up the U.S. coastline, forecasters worry that it is just the first domino to fall in a hurricane season that has the potential to mirror the worst ever.
Arthur became the first named storm of 2020 when it reached tropical storm status over the weekend.
This is the sixth year in a row that a named storm has preceded the formal June 1 start of the hurricane season.
