Atlantic Season Logs Rare Triple Major Hurricanes
• The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season saw its first three hurricanes (Erin, Gabrielle, Humberto) reach major Category 3+ status, a rare event unseen in 90 years.
• Rising atmospheric energy and unusually warm ocean temperatures are fueling the rapid intensification of these storms.
• Forecasters are closely monitoring Invest 94L, a potential tropical cyclone, for possible development and impacts on the U.S. coastline.
Unprecedented hurricane season with three major storms
The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season has marked a rare and significant event, unseen in nearly a century. For the first time in 90 years, the season's initial three hurricanes—Erin, Gabrielle, and Humberto—have all intensified into major storms, reaching Category 3 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson scale. This unusual pattern is raising concerns among meteorologists and coastal communities alike.
