Below normal hurricane season predicted!

(Low Cloud deck - Monday morning, May 22nd, 2006)

NOAA released it's 2006 eastern Pacific hurricane forecast on Monday.

They are predicting a below average season this year with 12 to 16 tropical storms, of which 6 to 8 could become hurricanes, including 1 to 3 major hurricanes of category 3 of greater.

The prediction of the below normal hurricane season for the eastern Pacific is mainly due to the neutral
"El Niño/Southern Oscillation".
