02/24/2026
So it is February 24th 2026. I am noting the date because I am going to make a prediction. We will have some fun with this.
I am making my prediction in this post.
If you have a thought of a different prediction then you can put a comment in this post's thread with it.
In NOVEMBER, if I am wrong, and someone else is right, they get to choose their own destination hotel getaway out of (ANY of the locations we have available for themselves and a guest (2 People))
So to back up my prediction I am providing data.
in 2022, 2023, & 2024 I predicted and put the companies we represent who travel to storms in the heart of the work for tree work.
2025 No Hurricane made landfall in the United States.
2026 I predict one Major hurricane Cat 4-5 to make landfall in the United States.
I predict 2-3 minor Hurricane threats, either landfall or close to landfall before turning to a tropical storm. ( Cat 1 - Low Cat 3)
Why?
The Gulf due to a non active hurricane season in 2025 and the heat that prevailed in 2025 is warmer than usual already.
Africa had increased rainfall over the last several months which will lower the amount of Saharan Dust that will reach the upper atmosphere unlike in 2025 when it was still blowing West into September. I expect it will likely remain less and will end early in August to Mid August. The dust drys out the upper atmosphere and causes storms to die off.
The Pacific is warmer and charged along the Mexican and Panama coastal areas which will fuel off more storms in the Caribbean and Gulf, which is going to fuel the temperatures and increase the potential as season kicks off in 2026.
I also expect we are likely to begin to see increased Tornado activity in the South starting now, and the plains may see increased activity and storm systems over the spring and summer months.
