Frequent Atlantic Hurricanes Expected

Just what I didn't want to read.

RV Travel has posted an article stating that 2024 will have more frequent hurricanes. 

According to Wikipedia:

The season officially begins on June 1, 2024, and ends on November 30, 2024.

A friend and I are planning a cruise to the Bahamas in late July. That's practically right smack in hurricane territory and season.

RVers, other travelers as well as residents in areas normally affected by seasonal Atlantic hurricanes may face especially challenging activity in the months ahead. If you plan to spend time this season in such an area, be sure to constantly monitor the weather forecast and have an escape plan if trapped with nowhere to go.

The top 10 states that experience the most hurricanes, in order of number of events that reached landfall between 1851 and 2020, are Florida, Texas, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, New York, Mississippi and Virginia (with Massachusetts just barely behind).

This year, National Weather Service forecasters at the Climate Prediction Center predict above-normal hurricane activity in the Atlantic basin. NOAA’s outlook for the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, which is from June 1 to November 30, predicts an 85% chance of an above-normal season, a 10% chance of a near-normal season and a 5% chance of a below-normal season.

Assuredly, I will be monitoring the weather reports prior to departure.
