After a record-breaking 2020 hurricane season, Aerospace & Marine International (AMI) is predicting an above-normal 2021 season in the Atlantic Basin with 20 named storms (9 hurricanes, 4 of them major). In 2020, the final numbers included 30 named storms (13 hurricanes, 6 of them major).

AMI arrived at these forecasted numbers based on the state of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) which has a considerable impact on tropical cyclone development. AMI has put together their “2021 AMI Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook” which presents La Niña, El Niño, and ENSO conditions and how each may impact Atlantic/Pacific cyclonic activity.
