ENGLISH WITH NEWS
NOAA Predicts Above-Normal 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season
This week, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released its predictions for the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season. Experts are forecasting an above-normal level of activity, influenced by factors such as near-record warm ocean temperatures and the development of La Nina conditions. These conditions create a favorable environment for the formation of tropical storms, which can lead to an increased number of hurricanes.
Key Words:
Hurricane (n.) - A type of tropical cyclone with strong winds and heavy rain.
Example: The hurricane caused significant damage along the coast.
La Nina (n.) - A climate pattern characterized by cooler-than-normal sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean.
Example: La Nina conditions often lead to more active hurricane seasons in the Atlantic.
Storm Surge (n.) - An abnormal rise in sea level accompanying a hurricane or other intense storm.
Example: The storm surge from the hurricane flooded many coastal communities.
As the season progresses, NOAA emphasizes the importance of preparedness for individuals and communities. Understanding the potential impacts and staying informed can help mitigate the effects of these natural events. For more details, visit NOAA's official page.

Comfort may feel safe, but it won't lead to growth. Embrace the courage to push your limits, and you'll discover new strengths and capabilities. Keep moving forward with bravery, and watch yourself flourish.
