June 5, 2024 Tropical Update

ECMWF Seasonal Update shows highly active Atlantic

What the month did

June 2024 was the 2nd-warmest June in the 132-year national record (1895–2026), at 71.8°F against a 1991–2020 normal of 69.5°F (+2.3°F).

June 2024 was the 41st-driest June in the 132-year national record (1895–2026), at 2.8in against a 1991–2020 normal of 3.1in (-0.3in).

NOAA/NCEI Climate at a Glance, contiguous United States. This is the observed record for the month, not a score of anything said in this piece — the forecast ledger begins 2026-08-17 and cannot reach earlier posts.

The July-December 2024 ECMWF seasonal prognostication from the seasonal model released today shows 21.1 Named Storms vs. a model climatology of 13.5 — highly significant “active” season for the Atlantic.

During a growing La Nina, we expect average or below average activity across the Pacific including the typhoons and hurricanes from China to Mexico. The seasonal model does show such a solution, so there’s some credibility in the overall forecast for the seasonal ahead.
