Very light concentrations, but this always works in our favor all throughout hurricane season. voice-verified

This is a little bit early because typically we see Sahara Dust uh in those great voice-verified

Greater concentrations start to roll across the Atlantic basin and reach this far west throughout June and then leading into those kind of mid-late summer months. voice-verified

So absolutely no problem with this for us here in Florida and uh across the western Atlantic. voice-verified

We do not mind at all to see Sahara dust off to a little bit of an early start. voice-verified

But here's a look at the average tropical activity that uh we'll show this from time and time again. voice-verified

You know, I was talking here on our local newscast this morning about how maybe folks are new to uh tropical weather and are moving to we've got a lot of snowbirds that maybe make this a permanent home for them living here in Florida and you might not be familiar with how the tropic season typically plays out. voice-verified

Usually we start off pretty quiet, so it's not unusual to not have any activity right now on day one. voice-verified

We usually are looking to late August into early and mid-September and then even into portions there of October for the bulk of the activity of tropic season, hurricane season, September 10th marking the peak of hurricane season because of on average that being the greatest activity. voice-verified

Now when we're talking about El Nina. voice-verified

This has been all the chatter here for some time as, you know, climate experts in the National H uh Hurricane Center well as well, reflecting this in uh NOAA and CSU's forecasts is because of the expectation of not only an El Nino climate pattern voice-verified

but a particularly strong El Nino pattern. voice-verified

And what that means is, um, if you're unfamiliar with ENSO, is the El Niño La Niña climate oscillation. voice-verified

This is all dependent on sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean. voice-verified

And sometimes again for people that it's totally okay to be unfamiliar with it, you might ask, okay, why does why do sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean have anything to do with the Atlantic? voice-verified

Hurricane season. voice-verified

The atmosphere, both the ocean sea surface temperatures as well as the air, all work in conjunction, all have a domino effect on each other. voice-verified

So when we have really warm sea surface temperatures across the eastern Pacific in particular, that then actually supports a pretty volatile atmosphere across the way over into the Atlantic. voice-verified

In particular, you get this warm water, and then you have in voice-verified

In comparison to that very warm water, relatively cool water on the other side of Central America, especially here over in the Caribbean, what you get then here is this rising air from that lower pressure of some arguably hot sea surface temperatures and sinking air over portions of the western Atlantic, aka there, the Caribbean as well. voice-verified
