Number of hurricanes this 2022
According to the first forecast issued by Dr. Philip Klozbacht, from Colorado State University in the United States, the following phenomena are expected during the hurricane season this year:
– 19 named tropical cyclones
– 5 moderate hurricanes category 1 and 2 Saffir Simpson scale
– 4 intense hurricanes category 3,4 and 5 Saffir Simpson scale
The Institutional Committee for the Attention of Extreme Meteorological Phenomena (Ciafeme) of the UADY, warned that the inhabitants of the Yucatan Peninsula should prepare for the worst scenario hoping for the best since it will be a rough tropical cyclone season.
Through a statement it was explained that it will not matter if the forecast says that one tropical cyclone or 20 will form, people must be prepared always, and foster a culture of prevention.
It is pointed out that in the last two years (2020 and 2021) Yucatan has not been affected by intense tropical cyclones, although there were some floodings due to the intense rains, so everyone should be prepared for the next tropical cyclone season, which will begin on next June 1.
