Following 2005’s record-breaking number of hurricanes, the Caribbean is set for another above-average hurricane season, according to weather forecasters. Water temperatures in the Atlantic-Caribbean are warm and the Pacific is seeing no El Niño pattern to offset them. The U.S. National Weather Service reported that the 2006 season will be as active as 2005, when 27 named storms and 15 hurricanes caused widespread damage. The season runs from June through November. The first storms are expected to form in late June.
