Hurricane experts predict another above average season

The start of the 2008 Hurricane Season is less than two months away and forecasters are busy making their predictions. This week weather experts William Gray and Philip Klotzbach of Colorado State University revealed that once again, they are anticipating an above-average season of fifteen named tropical storms, eight of which are expected to develop into hurricanes. The forecasters also believe that at least one powerful hurricane with a category strength between three and five will make landfall in the Caribbean. Even though Hurricane Dean was the only system to affect Belize out of the fourteen storms that developed last year, Dean caused millions of dollars in damage in the Corozal District.
