“We must prepare for this hurricane season, and ensure our collective safety and resilience,” said Minister of National Security Michael Weeks ahead of the official start of the Atlantic hurricane season on Thursday, 1 June.
The Atlantic hurricane season begins on 1 June and ends on 30 November. This year, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has predicted a 40 percent chance of a near-normal season and a 30 percent chance of a below-normal season.
