According to Cuban Meteorological Institute Forecasting Center director Jose Rubiera, the first part of the 2014 hurricane season was less active than expected, but more hurricanes are still expected during October and November. September has traditionally been the most active month in the Caribbean hurricane season.
Rubiera said that there have been five named storms so far this year with only one with of great strength, reaching Category 3.
The North Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30 and in the last two months the hurricanes still have a propensity to form in the Caribbean, so Rubiera says that people should not let their guard down. He went on to say that this season has been calm because there was no El Nino effect, as forecast.
He said that they had forecast nine hurricanes or tropical storms for this year’s hurricane season.
