Waves hit the shore in Eastern Passage, N.S., during an approaching nurricane Dorian, on the Halifax waterfront Saturday, Sept. 7, 2019. Although the hurricane season has gotten off to a slow start for 2022, forecasters are still expecting more named storms this fall. - Tim KrochakCHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — Despite above-average ocean temperatures in the North Atlantic this summer, the 2022 hurricane season has gotten off to a quiet start, but bigger storms could still be on the way.
These trade winds, which are the continual winds that blow around the planet from east to west, tear up storm clouds before they can form. “Wind shear tears apart tropical storms and hurricanes. It was very unfavourable this summer for any storms to develop,” he said. This is a normal occurrence, but above average temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean this season could still lead to severe storms, as the most active months are yet to come, said Ian Hubbard, meteorologist with the Canadian Hurricane Centre, CHC, in Dartmouth, N.S.
“Just because it’s been a slow start, doesn’t mean the whole season will be slow, as we’ve seen in the last couple days,” said Hubbard.
