It says there is a 69 per cent that a major hurricane will hit somewhere in the US coastline this season, which is higher than the average of 52 peer cent for the last century. It gives Florida and the Gulf coast a nearly 50-50 chance of being hit by a major hurricane.<\/p>\n<p>The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency urged Americans in hurricane-prone areas to prepare now, not later. Deanne Criswell said that includes people who live inland because storms are dropping more rain and causing more flooding due to climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Climate change has increased storm\u2019s rainfall about three per cent, and in the future it could be as much as 10 per cent, Rosencrans said.<\/p>\n<p>Warmer water from climate change increases the number of the strongest hurricanes, but research doesn\u2019t show a change in the overall number of named storms from global warming, Rosencrans said.<\/p>\n<p>University of Arizona forecast chief Xubin Zeng said the last decade has been unusually active in the Atlantic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to ask ourselves if this is part of the natural variability of the system of if we are already seeing impacts of global warming,\u201d Zeng said in a press release. \u201cIf this is part of the natural variability, then after some overactive seasons, we\u2019d expect activity to quiet down, but every year is kind of crazy in the past few years.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-454026679\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UNITED STATES (AP) \u2014\u00a0The Atlantic hurricane season will be busier than normal, but it\u2019s unlikely to be as crazy as 2020\u2019s record-shattering year, meteorologists said Thursday.
