The 2020 Atlantic Hurricane season will be an event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation. The season will officially begin on June 1 and end on November 30, dates that conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones develop in the Atlantic Basin. However, the formation of tropical cyclones is possible at any time, and were a tropical cyclone to form before June 1, it would be still be counted as part of the 2019 season.
The season is being forecast as relatively tame. Forecasters seem to agree mostly that there is a probability of 12 names storms and out of the 12 named storms, seven possibly will develop into hurricanes.
Out of seven hurricanes, three of these are being predicted to be “major” hurricanes in scope with winds sustaining 111mph or more. This would place them at a minimum at Category 3 status on the Saffir-Simpson scale.
