The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is expecting an above-normal hurricane season this year, running from June to November.

NOAA says there’s a 60% chance of an above-normal season, a 30% chance of a near-normal season, and a slim 10% chance at the season being below normal; they’re expecting some 15 named storms, with about 10 becoming hurricanes.

They say they’re expecting around five of those to be major hurricanes.
