Please try again later {{ /verifyErrors }} Federal forecasters are still predicting a highly active Atlantic hurricane season thanks to near-record sea surface temperatures and the possibility of La Nina, officials said Thursday. An average Atlantic hurricane season produces 14 named storms, seven of them hurricanes and three major hurricanes. When meteorologists look at how busy a hurricane season is, two factors matter most: ocean temperatures in the Atlantic where storms spin up and need warm water for fuel, and whether there is a La Nina or El Nino, the natural and periodic cooling or warming of Pacific Ocean waters that changes weather patterns worldwide. Even with last season's El Nino, which usually inhibits storms, warm water still led to an above average hurricane season.
