Mr. Speaker, I rise this morning to advise this Honourable House that we have just entered Hurricane Season which runs from June 1st until November 30th.
Mr. Speaker, based on records of the last 30 years the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Climate Prediction Centre issues an annual hurricane activity prediction. They have predicted that this year will be above average.
Mr. Speaker, the forecast for this year is 14 to 21 named storms, 6 to 10 hurricanes and 3 to 6 major hurricanes which is a category 3 and above.
