Predicts 14 Tropical Storms in Atlantic
Ocean in 2009
Some 14 tropical storms could be in the
Atlantic Ocean in 2009, seven of them could
become into hurricanes, Nicaraguan Institute
of Territorial Studies (Ineter) reported on
Thursday.
Ineter's Meteorology director, Mariano
Gutierres said that in the coming rains
season there will be seven moderated
tropical storms, four hurricanes and three
intense storms in the Atlantic Ocean.
Ineter information is based in a report from
the University of Colorado and from the
Office of Ocean and Atmosphere from U.S.,
where it is forecasted that during the
hurricanes season in 2009 there will be 14
tropical storms in the Atlantic.
Gutierrez said the report is not final
because it is still needed to do the
monitoring of 2009 and the atmosphere
conditions of February and March will be
taken into account.
The Ineter is waiting for the last revision
and updates of April from the U.S. climate
organizations and will make its own
forecast, Gutierrez affirmed.
The storms and hurricanes season begins in
July and ends in November each year. |
