Colorado State University forecasts 23 named storms, including 11 hurricanes, with a major impact expected on the US coastline and the Caribbean.

Colorado State University predicts an 'extremely active' 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, forecasting 23 named storms, of which 11 will become hurricanes.
Nearly half of the predicted storms are expected to become hurricanes, with a significant chance of major hurricanes making landfall on the US coastline and in the Caribbean.
The forecast is based on warmer Atlantic waters and a developing La Niña phenomenon, conditions favorable for hurricane formation.
For the first time, researchers have released county-by-county probabilities for storms, indicating heightened risks for certain areas.
Preparedness is advised, with the National Hurricane Center emphasizing the importance of hurricane watches and warnings.
