According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season ranks fourth for most named storms since 1950. There were 20 named storms, seven hurricanes, and three major hurricanes.¹
In addition, 2023 broke multiple weather and climate records, including the warmest July on record, highest monthly sea temperature, and first tropical storm to hit Southern California in 84 years. The U.S. saw 28 weather and climate disasters with losses exceeding $1 billion each in 2023.²
Many experts are already predicting an above-average Atlantic hurricane season for 2024, which runs from June 1 to Nov. 30. In its annual forecast, Colorado State University hurricane researchers expect an extremely active season this year, calling for 23 named storms, 11 hurricanes and five major hurricanes.
