where is the bermuda high this year? any idea where it will wind up? I'm wondering about hurricane season.

Answer 1

We had one going until T.S. Barry came up the coast. The "Bermuda High" is a circulation that occurs in the West Atlantic ocean. If it is strong, it means very warm and humid summers in the Eastern US. If it is weak, the summers are less yucky. Check with the weather channel on the hurricanes.

Answer 2

I live in Los Angeles and last year it was very hot and unusually humid because of El Nino.

The Bermuda High last year was to the right of where it usually is. Thus practically all Atlantic hurricanes curved out to sea.

This year, it's been very gray and chilly in LA with highs only around 72 and dipping into the 50's at night. And we've seen Sub-Tropical Storm Andrea and Tropical Storm Barry.

And, in the Persian Gulf, a strong Cyclone is set to come ashore in Oman, something most meteorologosts are pretty sure has NEVER happened.

So, the early indications are that this season is going to be unusually active. So if you live near the coast, please take precautions now by stocking up on extra gallons of water and batteries.
