Introduction

The National Hurricane Center will start watching for storms on May 15.

Main Body

The center will give reports every six hours from May 15 to November 30. They look at the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. They use maps and satellites to find storms. Different experts guess how many storms will come. Some say there will be 10 to 16 storms. This is a normal number for the area. Right now, the air is dry and the water is cold. This means there are no big storms in May. The Pacific Ocean might have some small storms, but they will not reach Hawaii.

Conclusion

The Atlantic is quiet now, but the center will start its work on May 15.
