US forecasts above-normal 2007 hurricane season

Washington - US scientists Thursday forecast a worse-than- usual 2007 Atlantic hurricane season, including three to five major storms. US government forecasters see an 85-per-cent chance of an 'above- normal season,' with 13-16 named storms and seven to nine hurricanes, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said. A normal year brings six hurricanes, including two major ones, the agency said. Since the season began June 1, there have been three Atlantic named storms, slightly above average, NOAA said. The hurricane season peaks in August through October and ends November 30. The latest update was largely in line with NOAA's initial 2007 forecast in May. 'The development of key climate factors through early August has increased the confidence of an above-normal season,' the agency said Thursday. © 2007 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
