The 2020 hurricane season had the most storms on record to date: a total of 30 named storms, 13 of which became hurricanes. The increased frequency of hurricanes leads us to ask what is causing these storms to form? What can we expect for the 2021 hurricane season? Hear the science behind hurricane formation, why more hurricanes are occurring, and tips to prepare for the upcoming hurricane season in this lecture from education coordinator Jamie Justice.
