Loving The Quiet Stretch In The Tropics

Knock. On. Wood. Meteorologist Jonathan Kegges with you. After Beryl, the tropics went into a deep slumber. While a lot of people on the internet are asking how can this be with the extremely active season predicted, this is actually pretty normal.

I ALWAYS say if you’re looking to book a Caribbean cruise in hurricane season your best bet, climatologically speaking, is during the second and third week of July. Now, it won’t always work like this, but more often than not it’s pretty quiet.

The season is currently transitioning between the homegrown storms, Beryl was the rare exception developing way east, to the more long-track storms that originate from Africa and take FOREVER to cross the ocean.

This is a great time to make sure you are prepared for the flurry of tropical activity likely to follow once August arrives.

More than 80% of the season occurs beyond the middle of August so it’s not a time to get complacent.


“Twisters” unveiled to Central Florida meteorologists 🌪️

If you’re anything like me and many of my fellow meteorologists and weather enthusiasts, the 1996 movie “Twister” was probably one of the most gripping films ever.

Recently, my colleagues and I had the opportunity to preview the new “Twisters” movie, set to hit theaters on July 19, 2024.

Hi everyone, this is meteorologist Michelle Morgan, and I’m excited to share my thoughts on this exciting new film. But the big question remains: how accurate is it from a meteorological perspective? Click here to discover more and read our reviews.
