Experts Forecast Average Number of Storms and Limited Major Hurricanes
According to recent forecasts from the National Hurricane Center, Texas and other regions along the Gulf and East coasts can expect a near-normal hurricane season in 2023. The season officially begins on June 1 and concludes on November 30.
Expected Storm Activity
The National Hurricane Center predicts that the upcoming season will likely witness an average of 14 named storms, including seven hurricanes and three major hurricanes. This is in line with the historical average for the Atlantic hurricane season.
The Gulf Coast, including Texas, faces a higher risk of hurricane landfalls compared to other regions. However, the forecast suggests that the overall number of significant storms making landfall will be within the normal range.
