What is geoscience?
Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

This is the best summary I could come up with:
"We anticipate a well above-average probability for major hurricanes making landfall along the continental United States coastline and in the Caribbean," researchers from the Colorado State University Tropical Meteorology Project said in a 44-page report released on Thursday.
The Atlantic hurricane season officially starts June 1 and finishes November 30, with most activity occurring between mid-August and mid-October.
Hurricane activity tends to peak in mid-September, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Along the East Coast, including the Florida peninsula, the probability jumped to 34% from 21% – which was the average likelihood from 1880-2020.
Seasonal forecast predictions are based on statistical and dynamical models that researchers said "can fail in some years."
Last year's water temperatures were also high, and it was a more active hurricane system than average.
