The 2007 Atlantic hurricane season should be another active one, said government weather experts, with up to five major hurricanes predicted and a total of 10 hurricanes possible.
The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released its prediction for this year's hurricane season, saying there could be between 13 and 17 named storms including those reaching hurricane strength.
NOAA Climate Prediction Center went on to say the forecast calls for seven to 10 hurricanes and between three and five major hurricanes. A major hurricane is defined as a Category 3 storm or higher on the Saffir/Simpson scale with winds of at least 111 mph.
