Two hurricanes will hit the United States next year, which will see a period of high hurricane activity in 2007, a London-based forecasting group announced today.
The prediction came from Tropical Storm Risk (TSR), a consortium of experts on insurance, risk management and seasonal climate forecasting led by the Benfield UCL Hazard Research Centre at University College, London.
TSR said its long-range forecast anticipates Atlantic basin and U.S. landfalling hurricane activity will be 60 percent above the 1950-2006 norm next season.
