Month: June 2023

Whether we like it or not… It’s here…

HURRICANE SEASON… Sigh

If you look up the 2023 predictions, you’re thrown stuff like El Niño and west African monsoon and warmer-than-normal sea surface temperatures in the tropical Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. Everyone however, seems to think that this is going to be a normal or below average hurricane season. And that would be just fine.

At any rate, here we go….. Here’s this year’s storm names
