2010 hurricane season may be worst on record

WASHINGTON: The 2010 Atlantic hurricane season may be one of the worst on record, US officials warned Thursday, amid fears it could deepen an oil crisis in the Gulf of Mexico and bring new misery to Haiti.

An “active to extremely active” hurricane season which starts on June 1 is expected for the Atlantic Basin this year, US officials said.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency (NOAA) said it was predicting three to seven major hurricanes, with eight to 14 smaller hurricanes, and 14 to 23 named storms would hit the region over the next six months.

This compares to an average of two major hurricanes, six smaller hurricanes and 11 storms per season.

“If this outlook holds true, this season could be one of the more active on record,” said NOAA administrator Jane Lubchenco.

The combined April global land and ocean average surface temperature was the warmest on record at 14.5 degrees Celsius (58.1 degrees F).

The earth”s temperature for January-April at 56.0 degrees Fahrenheit (13.3?C), is 1.24 degrees Fahrenheit or (0.69 degrees Celsius) above the 20th century average, it said.

While the global ocean surface temperature was 0.57 degrees C above the 20th century average of 16 degrees and the warmest on record for April, the global land temperature was 1.29 degrees Celsius above the 20th century average of 8.1, the third warmest on record for April.

The report said the warmth was most pronounced in the equatorial portions of major oceans, especially the Atlantic.

Warmer-than-normal conditions dominated the globe, with the most prominent warmth in Canada, Alaska, eastern US, Australia, South Asia, northern Africa and northern Russia.

Cooler-than-normal places included Mongolia, Argentina, far eastern Russia, the western contiguous United States and most of China, it said.
